The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (feat. Black Thought)

You will not be able to gaslight, brother.

You will not be able to block, unfollow, mute or swipe left to disengage with the revolution.

It will be immersive, live streaming in its entirety and uninterrupted on every platform

But the revolution will not be televised.

There will be no monologue at the top.

No "Choose Your Adventure" midway through, or panel discussions to follow

As we drone shot into the previously scheduled program.

The link is absolutely in the bio.

You cannot hit that "Like" button and subscribe.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be lit.

You won't find a discount QR code to it in your junk email

along with coupons for the President's Day sale at Overstock.com, eBay or Amazon.

The revolution is not made possible by the Mellon Foundation and listeners like you.

The revolution is not gon come it has come in the form of a rude awakening

to the current paradigm shift and the acknowledgment of the new day.

We are currently living in the proverbial future.

It is now more important than ever to prioritize living by example as we emulate the divine.

It is now more important than ever to exercise self-love as a people

and to consider how our generation will be regarded by generations to come.

The revolution is young, hungry, and strong, courageous and wise, The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will not be covered on Fox News, nor does it feel threatened by those who look, think or behave differently than it.

The revolution does not require you to observe what it observes, or to believe what it believes.

It's not preoccupied with whether you stand sit, stoop, dance, or take a knee during the national anthem. The revolution is more concerned with change.

The revolution is all-inclusive and non-exclusive.

It transcends time, space, race, and religion.

It is wide awake at all times and understands that accepting, addressing

and correcting the transgressions of the past is the only path to a better tomorrow.

The revolution is the solution.

It is both the question and the answer in these uncertain times.

It is the end-all, be-all with regards to what has happened and what happens next Because like evolution, the revolution has long been in effect.

Go get a late pass.

It's been an uphill climb, manual transmission and no four-wheel-drive. The clock, one hand, missing, had to tell real time

My fuel and ambition to compel real minds

To say my beginnings was humble would understatement

Every odd is a rumble I face coming to greatness.

Insanity's evasive- and lately mortality's staring me in the face, has been tearing me different places

God's revealing these, dealing me different aces

The job is healing - my history's been abrasive.

It's odd to feel like your body house is vacant inside

Or like the draw of the wild, is too persuasive.

So energy, I've been playing it super safe with Barely Breaking Even while battling human nature. The revolution's so close that I can taste it

But patiently I'm waiting I'm posted at the station. Word.
