Revolution (Reprise)
Escalate
Elevate and raise vibrations
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, revolution
I don't dissolve when underwater
Had to crawl before I flew to Earth
Left stains upon my garment
But I paint it with my blue Denim
Grew tainted, few fainted in my battalion, stronger stallion
When rockets explode and they sound like apocalypse soldiers
Hold on to visions and better days
He who's perfect cast's the second word in Rosetta's name
They don't speak our language
And they don't seek out change
Even though it's constant
Where's they conscience?
They don't see our pain
But they don't speak our names with sharpie
No cardboard signs, we marchin'
Strivin' to remind we just wanna feed our fam'
We can repeat our chance 'til blue in the face
But the truth is, slavery is still alive
No thanks to Abraham
They paint our savior pale
And teach us to praise a man that shares no resemblance
Must have a broader nose if I was molded in his image
In all my evolution, I've been everything but timid
And for this revolution, I look in with
