[Intro] Brothers and Sisters Let me share with you some news As I sit on my plush couch watching the news There has been a rude awakening That I have marched until my feet have bled; And have rioted until they called the Feds What's left my conscience said? What's left my conscience said? GO!
[Speech] As I look out my window I can see the little ones Playing amongst each other with the water guns In pure poverty Generations of good people in cycles of poverty It bothers me so I ask myself (I say) Are you doing as much as you can for the struggle? (No) Am I doing as much as I can for the struggle? (No) Then why do I cry when my people are in trouble? (Yo!) My ancestors slapped me in the face and said "GO!" Harriet Tubman told me to get on up! Marcus Garvey said to me, bro, you get on up! My brother malcolm X, need I say more It ain't like we've never seen blood before, Come on, let's talk Revolution, now!
[Chorus] (Oh, my people say, oh my brothers say, oh my sisters say, HEY! Oh, my people say/ come on let's talk about a Re-volution)
[Speech] I seen blood on one Malcolm as one shot him I see tears, because now it seems we've forgot him I've seen years of people struggling for a solution Like restitution; excuses, no more no more confusion Come on, come on, let's talk right Talk up talk up, but don't talk up up all night There's got to be action if you want satisfaction If not for yourself, for the young ones (the children!) The US, the UN, we can't allow ya— to tellustthe kidinthegetto isnotasimportantasthiskidin Bosnia [sic] I ain't with it; just forget it We can't even debate if you don't understand our situation You don't want us to go get a gun now You don't like to see people runnin' around now, do ya? Yet and still you want to live like '90210', while we scream out "Yo FREEDOM"! My grandmother has a goal we have wasted You best acquire a taste for somethin' you never tasted So people, let us wear our pallets it's either the bullet or the ballot; come now
[Chorus] Revolution now, (repeat chorus)
[Outro] Now see, I understand what my people have said They tell me to FIGHT— fight for the answers to our dead For Harriet Tubman, MOVE organization, David Walker, the Black Panthers Kwame and Kuma, Marcus Garvey, Jane Pitman Revolution!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
