Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That's what they told us today, in other words, "You still a slave
No matter how much money you got, you still ain't shit"
[Verse 2]
They protestin', marchin' on the concrete
Another black boy dead by his mom's feet
Hysterical, he had a job that was clerical
People used to say back in the day, "It'd take a miracle"
Wild youngin', but just like all of us, he grew up
Livin' on his own like, "There's nothing I can't do," but
Ride to his mother's house, beautiful Sunday
Shoutin' out his crew, whoop, whoop, oops, a one-way
Oh, went the wrong way, startin' off a long day
Backin' up the whip, one time steady roll up
"Can I see your ID?" That's how he control us
Routine traffic stop turns into a homi?
Covered in white sheets while pullin' back his mommy
It happens all the time so I'm holdin' mines calmly
They killin' us, a modern-day lynchin'
Fuck these racist cops chillin' on paid suspension
Fuck
[Verse 3]
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
You dig?
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
[Verse 4]
Where the jobs go? Only God knows
Been treated like an outsider like Rob Lowe
Soda pop, sandwich bag of barbecue chips
Lunch break, get a cut, plus the barber you tipped
Gotta get this money, 'cause the further you get
Capitalistic land like the art of jujitsu
Do to get my daughter new kicks
Jay-Z, Kamaal, Shawn Carter, Q-Tip
The name changed but still the same game
They ain't playin' fair, ninety nine ways for 99% to stay in there
Policed by the rich, government in my home
All-eye seein' cam on my iPhone
Is they lookin' at me? Did I commit a crime?
My man back home, yo, he just did a dime
Felon, no occupation so started sellin', yo
They seein' everything, I had to tell him
"Your hot, ****"
[Verse 5]
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
You dig?
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
[Verse 6]
Uh, I hear, "White man this," I hear, "White man that"
I hear genetically, our genes will turn the white man black
I hear lies and deceit up in this white man's facts
But to blame all our trouble on the white man's wack
Many saw the injustice, the oppression of a colored folk
Got called **** lovers, or haters by them others, broke the chains
Hand by hand with the man they were taught to hate
Public enemy be the Klan or the cops to chase
Racism is just the Devil's mentality, prejudice and hatreds just
Because of nationality, nobody's the same but still you tell a child to be?
New world order? Man, that used to sound wild to me
Population surveillance, police illegal assailants
I need to catch that fight, where Dave Chappelle went?
Back to Africa, yeah, yeah, the motherland
'Cause there might not be no other plan
You dig?
[Verse 7]
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
You dig?
We been robbed of our religion, our government and social position
And there won't be no quick solution until we have a black revolution
[Verse 8]
We need this shit after wrong days
Then at that time, then we will be able
To finally come to a conclusion
From that we'll have our solution
For revolution, revolution, revolution
Revolution, the revolution, revolution
Revolution, revolution, revolution
Oh, Lord, Lord, help me, yeah
Oh, yeah, revolution, conclusion
Solution
[Verse 9]
(We shall see Him as He is)
(No more lookin' through a glass darkly)
(We shall see Him as He is)
(And when we see Him)
