Revolution

(Revelation) uh-huh (revolution), bounce
(Reveals the truth) now if you in the club, right? (Absolution)
(Revolution) this is the time you put your drink down
(Ooh, ooh) and face reality and get some mental food, ya heard?
(Revelation) and if you at home (revolution)
(Reveals the truth) put the kids to sleep, sit back (absolution)
(Revolution) and learn somethin', get at me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) check it

It takes ah revolution
To make ah solution
It's too much confusion
So much frustration, eh-heh
I doh wanna live in the park (park)
Can't trust no shadows after dark (shadows after dark)
Oh, my friend, I wish that you could see
Like a bird in the tree, the prisoners must be free (free), yeah
Lightening (lightening), eh
Thunder (thunder)
Brimstone (brimstone)
And for ya, fire, for ya, fire
Lightening (lightening), hey
Thunder (thunder), brr
Brimstone (brimstone)
And for ya, fire, for ya, fire (yeah, uh-huh)

Now it's alright to rock ice, stand at the bar, sip Cris'
But besides bein' a goon, how real is your shit?
You can flip drugs, but can you flip the government?
And how many times y'all gon' make the devil boys, them win?
For little cool presidents, spendin' life in the pen
It's like we totally about the strugglin' kid
It was all a setup, but we could still flip the script
Could y'all imagine us as one instead of bein' separate cliques?
You better recognize that man for the thief that he is
And represent your female on the strength of reproduction
Textbooks full of lies, miseducation
We done proved our Holocaust, and still no reparations?
On the grounds of genocides, I call for revolution
War through music, I stand for revolution

War through music, we stand for revolution
Heard?

Mi all ah arm unuh self
Cau' vampire fly by night not di words on yuh TV screen
An' arm unuh self an' prepare fi fight fi yuh life wit some long bomboclaat sixteen
Well arm unuh self cau' Babylon have plans an' schemes to mek nightmares outta wi dreams
An' arm unuh self cau' man shall not find food to eat, but di
Words Rastafari speak
Just check di situation an' who fit di Mark of di beast in revelation
Speak of ah king down inna di east
Repatriation, righteous will increase
Clean up di prostitutes dem off di streets
An' I say under moration, all strong will have to feed upon di weak
In every nation, it's better to be humble an' beneath
In combination, oh, yes it's Marley family an' di Queen
Ah bun Babylon dem regime

It's time to cash chips in, who gon' be the first to pay
For all of the blood shed, all of the bones in the waves?
For those who jumped them ships to avoid bein' a slave
Too many jails and not enough educatin'
Too many life sentences for crack cocaine
When the government's the one whose really gettin' paid
How many more of our sons do we got to put today?
How many more forty-one shots? I feel my mother's pain
How many more of our heroes we got to lose to this game?
And what about Africa or Haiti's world aid?
What about the land? Y'all motherfuckers stole the way
Gunshots should rang out on Christopher Columbus Day
I call for revolutions on the grounds of sufferin'
I call for revolution due to mental pollution

Uh-huh, revolution (revelation)
Revalation
Come on, check it

(Revelation) revelation
(Reveals the truth) reveals the truth
(Revolution) revolution
