Revolution (Reprise)

Elevate and raise vibrations
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, revolution
I dont 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 whos perfect casts the second word in Rosettas name

They dont see our pain
But they dont speak our names with sharpie

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, Ive been everything but timid
And for this revolution, I look in with
