I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised
But in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gotta sell it by
Otherwise it just expires and spoils
And these folks jump out the pot when the water too hot
Cause the fire boils inside
You go to church to find you some religion
And all you hear is conniving and gossip and contradiction and
You try to vote and participate in the government
And the motherfucking Democrats is acting like Republicans
You join an organization that know black history
But ask them how they plan to make money and it's a mystery
Looking for the remedy but you can't see what's hurting you
The revolution's here, the revolution is personal
They call me the political rapper
Even after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politics
I don't even follow it
I'm on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shit
Main Source, De La Soul, bumping 2Pacalypse Now
-Kweli
I'm on the side of humanity, social justice and eco and econ sustainability. it can be done, we're a very smart species. there are many ways to achieve this and I don't see rivals in peeps on any side who seek the same.
