When The Revolution Comes Lyrics

Dedicated to the last poets

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

The man, the woman will no longer be at war with each other

Scorn one another

No jealousy or bickering, finger pointing

Hating in retrospective to bring anointing

When the revolution comes

The Christians and Muslims will toast glasses

Gather together in masses

Loading ammunition using the same pot they're pissing

No longer using a good book as a weapon for dissing

Fix religion, erase from existence

No shape, only fate can determine who's mission

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

MCs and rappers won't have mics

Lyrical competition is obsolete

Some will experience real bars

And not the ones on a beat

No breakdance, no graffiti, no turntables

Or DJs, just another phase

Or the Jakes with a badge in your face

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

The internet will shut down

No more Facebooks or Instagram

Instead of the keyboard monsters

Who have to fight for not a page, but an inch of land

Dreadlocks convert to afros

Black sisters abort feminism

All the skinny jeans purchased by black brothers

Get tossed in a bonfire

We be on higher

Trapped in a fence made of barbed wire

All the imponderables in zodiac signs

Lose interest in the communities

The rise of police brutality on you and me

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

There is no let go and let God

There is no churches to go to when times are hard

There is no government assistance

No food or link cards

Think hard, act harder, match martyrs

For their struggle was a pure sacrifice

So we must pay homage

To even be considered have this nice

When the revolution comes

The blind will lead instead of follow

Instead of laying the link

And they won't honor shot

Right there, flip back to Chicago

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

The only gossip you will hear is to defend yourself

The nation's capital has declared war

And all those with a conscious mind

You are now public enemy number uno

Without a dollar sign

No bail money

When the revolution comes your life's out

So the rich and famous is quickly tainted

Switching payments for renters, agents

Everything you ever owned now liquidated

Materialism, imperialism

The racist power structure of our culture

When the revolution comes

Black is the only color that devours others

The power just in the hands of the same man

Whose plan was to shower us

The blood of our own

When the revolution comes

The pigs will deliver slugs in our homes

Grenade explosives, terror devotion

Upon the neighborhoods of hopeless

Unity, you indeed, fluently

The media pumps stories to ruin me

When the revolution comes

Some will say I told you so

As the snitches and informants of every organization

Collect rewards from submitting information

But Trump don't charge us on evolution

Every on trial

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

when the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

When the revolution comes

when the revolution comes

Revolution has come, time to pick up the gun

Thanks for turns
