Gia Medley - Revolution lyrics

What kind of life is this? selling off your soul where the profit is you couldn't kick this cold and you're coughin, Wiz I'm trynna take control of my world I've been torn from my providence What life? You puttin things on queens that you wouldn't wife You puttin bling on things that you couldn't buy You trynna buy the dream but you couldn't pay the price Now you slicin up your wrist cuz they taught you where to knife Atomic bombs in rotation for world domination until its game over like the globes a playstation Who's holy nation will rule the population? If I ruled the world diamonds and coal wouldn't control the whole of the spectrum I'd burst through the rectum cuz I smell the bullsh** peace and love we resurrect 'em And through the lies we know we need to recognize The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised Is there a head of state for the human race cuz the hell we face heaven on earth since my birth is a better place and the need for greed is so basic I think the need for love means more greatness This lifes a beautiful struggle I feel blessed Risin from the ghetto and the circle of d**h Before we change the world, we must affect the globe And make it known we want a place where our children can roam Maybe we were ill advised We were taught to stack chips for these nighty nights we were taught to get rich until our demise believe the lies and maybe 9 to 5 isn't slavery guys so maybe i was ill advised until I open my eyes I felt a vibe of a spiritual time I wanna leave the world better than when I arrived Rise The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised I thought it was all for the people, the feeble, who wants to be the leader of those just going for harm and evil Christ, me I started out tribal A savage running rampant just to stagger from the 5-0 A lesson from my grams they go wherever I go Reading take a bible cuz you're gon need it in idol Thing is when I lay down I feel a bit a ligo started out reciting scriptures out the bible that say we kings and queens eating chicken wings while the plot is thickening from the very beginning im witnessing Im trynna find an answer in the journal scribbling if the kids are feeling ill its because this world is sickening fight for what you want but die for what you need and watch my people grieve while we're dropping to our knees from the bottom, from the very core, from the dirt poor from the dirt on the shelves at these second hand stores from the I wanna make art mama not war don't wanna break hearts we just wanna bleed homes f** this material exterior bullsh** it won't determine my interior coolness my soul closed and you could never rule this my god lives in the strength where my root is until we organize you know you need to recognize The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised
