Revolution Lyrics - Singles - Gia Medley

What kind of life is this? 

selling off your soul where the profit is 

you couldn't kick this cold and you're coughin, Wiz 

I'm trynna take control of my world I've been torn from my providence 

What life? 

You puttin things on queens that you wouldn't wife 

You puttin bling on things that you couldn't buy 

You trynna buy the dream but you couldn't pay the price 

Now you slicin up your wrist cuz they taught you where to knife 

Atomic bombs in rotation for world domination until its game over like the globes a playstation 

Who's holy nation will rule the population? 

If I ruled the world diamonds and coal wouldn't control the whole of the spectrum 

I'd burst through the rectum cuz I smell the bullshit peace and love we resurrect 'em 

And through the lies we know we need to recognize 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

Is there a head of state for the human race cuz the hell we face heaven on earth since my birth is a better place 

and the need for greed is so basic 

I think the need for love means more greatness 

This lifes a beautiful struggle I feel blessed 

Risin from the ghetto and the circle of death 

Before we change the world, we must affect the globe 

And make it known we want a place where our children can roam 

Maybe we were ill advised 

We were taught to stack chips for these nighty nights 

we were taught to get rich until our demise 

believe the lies and maybe 9 to 5 isn't slavery guys 

so maybe i was ill advised 

until I open my eyes I felt a vibe of a spiritual time 

I wanna leave the world better than when I arrived 

Rise 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

I thought it was all for the people, the feeble, who wants to be the leader of those just going for harm and evil 

Christ, me 

I started out tribal 

A savage running rampant just to stagger from the 5-0 

A lesson from my grams they go wherever I go 

Reading take a bible cuz you're gon need it in idol 

Thing is when I lay down I feel a bit a ligo 

started out reciting scriptures out the bible that say 

we kings and queens eating chicken wings 

while the plot is thickening from the very beginning im witnessing 

Im trynna find an answer in the journal scribbling 

if the kids are feeling ill its because this world is sickening 

fight for what you want but die for what you need 

and watch my people grieve while we're dropping to our knees 

from the bottom, from the very core, from the dirt poor 

from the dirt on the shelves at these second hand stores 

from the 

I wanna make art mama not war 

don't wanna break hearts we just wanna bleed homes 

fuck this material exterior bullshit 

it won't determine my interior coolness 

my soul closed and you could never rule this 

my god lives in the strength where my root is 

until we organize you know you need to recognize 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised 

The revolution will not be televised
