Revolution Songtext
von Lord Jamar

Are you ready to fight revolution?
Stand up, we gon′ make a solution
I will join the fight for an equal right
Are you ready to fight revolution?

What you know about runnin' for miles and not eatin′ for days
Shootin' it out with federal agents

Runnin' with your family in tow
Givin′ your son an AK even though he′s only eight years old
Freedom has many prices, are you willin' to pay
For justice and equality to be the order of the day
And they′ll be tape recordin' everything you say
And only use cash, no credit cards, they easy to trace
I know a lot of what I′m sayin' is not easy to face
Just like sometimes medicine′s not easy to taste
But it needs to be heard

Revolution is a way of life, not a word, that's word
We livin' on the third rock from the sun
Heard shots from the gun, somebody yell, "Revolution"
And suddenly I heard an explosion


I guess to be a revolutionary is what are you chosen

Are you ready to fight revolution?
Stand up, we gon′ make a solution
I will join the fight for an equal right
Are you ready to fight revolution?

A revolution is bloody, require money ′cause it's hostile
It′s dedicated to the guards who won't lock down
I squeeze a Glock ′round, Jakes screamin', "Cock down"

And since I come this far, no way that I won′t stop now

I'm ready when you ready, yeah, buckin' heated heavy
We on point for Jake, jumpin′ out five-seater Chevy
Impossible to face this, we numberless, nameless and faceless
Hard to trace us, poppin′ up in different places


The rules of engagement, I use my tool for liberation
The FBI eavesdrop on domestic conversation
And brothers that you grew up with all turn to distant strangers
And everything you grew accustomed to soon changes
But still niggas is scared to bleed, mentally prepare my seed
Runnin' like a fugitive, just tryin′ to save this life I lead
This whole world straight out of control
Would you go out for freedom like you goin' out for the dough?

I wanna know

Are you ready to fight revolution?
Stand up, we gon′ make a solution
I will join the fight for an equal right
Are you ready to fight revolution?
