Assata’s Code (feat. Talib Kweli & Diani)

Diani
Liberation poem
This is the 21st century and we need to redefine revolution
This planet needs a people's revolution
A humanist revolution
Revolution is not about bloodshed or about going to the mountains and fighting
We will fight if we are forced to, but the fundamental goal of revolution must be peace
We need a revolution of the mind
We need a revolution of the heart
We need a revolution of the spirit
The power of people is stronger than any weapon
A people's revolution can't be stopped
We need to be weapons of mass construction, weapons of mass love
It's not enough just to change the system. We need to change ourselves
We have got to make this world user-friendly
Are you ready to sacrifice to end world-hunger?
To sacrifice to end colonialism?
To end neo-colonialism?
To end racism?
To end sexism?
Revolution means the end of exploitation
Revolution means respecting people from other cultures
Revolution is creative
Revolution means treating your meat [?] as a friend and an equal
Revolution is sexy
Revolution means respecting and learning from your children
Revolution is beautiful
Revolution means protecting the people, the plants, the animals, the air, the water
Revolution means saving this planet
Revolution is love
BOW!
