Lyrics
[Intro]
The Book of Revelation, chapter 7, verses 16 and 17 (Yes sir)
"They shall hunger no more neither shall they thirst anymore" (Preach, preacher!)
"For God shall wipe away" (Yes sir)
"Every tear from their eye" (Yes sir)
Get ready for the revolution
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
Said do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop)
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
Come on, do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
[Verse 1]
Sick and tired of my brothers killin' each other
Sick and tired of daddies leavin' babies with their mothers
To every man that wanna lay around and play around
Listen partner, you be man enough to stay around
Sick and tired of the church talkin' religion
But yet we talk about each other, make a decision
No more racism (No)
Two face-ism (No)
No pollution (No)
The solution (No)
A revolution
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
I say, do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
I say, do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
[Verse 2]
No crying (No)
No dying (No)
Politicians lying (Uh)
Everybody's trying
To make a dollar
It makes me wanna holler
The way I do my life, the way they do my life
There's gonna be a brighter day
All your troubles will pass away
A revolution's comin', yes, it's comin', comin', brother
Revolution's comin', yes, it's comin', revolution's comin,' comin'
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
I said, do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop)
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
I say, do you want a revolution? (Whoop, whoop!)
[Verse 3]
What you feelin', what you want, son?
Who you callin' to, son?
You know Jesus is the true Son?
The second in the Trinity, I know you feelin' him
500 days left until the new millennium
You hearin' Him, trumpets soundin', sky cracks
The Last, The First, The First, The Last, it won't pass
So don't be caught slippin', brother, don't be trippin', brother
'Cause when I see him, I'm givin' it
[Verse 4]
Every where we go, they say we move too much, we do too much
And if you step against us, then you lose too much
Ain't no stoppin' what we doin' when the Spirit is movin'
Don't be hatin' what I'm doin', I'm the vessel He's usin'
Everywhere I be, they try to judge me, they try to shake me, they try to buzz me
But they can't break me 'cause I'm down with Christ
Dark Child and Nu Nation make me feel alright
