lyrics

This revolution
This revolution

This revolution won’t be televised
They’ll be no lock dressers on hand
To keep your natty looking bonified
With jojoba and shea butter blends
No make up artists running at your side
To make you look hot, fresh, in demand
No stylist providing one of a kind
Crocheted ice, gold, green crowns and tams
No kente cloth - Itiopia inspired designer ware straight from motherland
You won’t need that custom-made bling, Iya
No iced-out ankhs or 14-carat gold bands
Dem vanities gon burn up in the fyah
And all that’s left will be your righteous stand

This revolution
This revolution

This revolution won’t be civilized
Intellectualizing while you’re sipping fine wine (hmmm)
Sitting back, legs crossed while you proselytize
Over gourmet meals dining by candlelight (mmmmm)
This revolution won’t Irie vibes (Irie I…One love)
Smoking that kush while you chant pon the mic (no, no, no)
No sound system 8 speaker boxes high
No laptop DJ saving your life

This revolution won’t be publicized
Calling all rebels busy behind the scenes, yeah (righteous)
No red carpet or afterparty vibes
The taste of revolution is bittersweet
Won’t be announced on air or streaming live
This ain’t no contest for popularity

This revolution
This revolution

We have to know just what we’re fighting for
We have to know just what we’re working towards
We have to know just where we’re coming from
We have to know exactly who we are

If we gon win this battle, I say
If we gon make this world a better place
If we gon stand up to hypocrisy
If we gon make our people free-ee

This revolution
This revolution
