The Revolution
[Malcolm x Intro]
And I go for that. If you take up arms, you'll end it
But if you sit around and wait for the one who's in power
To make up his mind that he should end it, you'll be waiting a long time
[Verse]
I left my mark on this shit at the age of 13
Reawakening my younger self
To sleep you n***as lurking
Picture perfect
The crown was a given in my OG verses
I'm getting back to the thrown
Cause all that singing shit was urking
Bitch I'm back
Don't disrespect a n***a with some demons
Cause I'm liable to Wu-Tang ya girl
And leave her creaming
Switched the seasons
Y'all fall into traps, really getting defeated
I sprung into the game
And dropped some heat
To keep from freezing
Now it's scenic
Just keep the movement going
Never stop it
I'm not a prophet
I just profit off of being conscious
In a world where n***as know
That money is a problem
I don't have any remorse
Killing these rappers for some dollars
Man I got em
But can I really hang with rap's finest
Just a Tennessee n***a
But the accent sound Carolina
Ever since a youngin'
Seeing Kanye with designer
Made me dream about success
Rocking Gucci and the Prada
You a problem
This the only way to spit the knowledge
When the system got me looking
Like a villain to the polished
White America is biased
Wanna see me in a coffin
All cause a young n***a skin a lil darker
Damn
But you could never take my intelligence
I learn quick so I don't believe in your rhetoric
Conservatives with the biggest smile
Cause the president
And everybody think they input is really relevant
I'm telling em
I don't really like being political
Cause everyone will attack you
For something minuscule
I just know that racism is fucked up mentally
Cause young black teens are terrified of they history
Young black teens having problems with identity
Cause USA wants to makes us all a fucking memory
Grow up nervous of the cops
Cause the fucking chemistry
That any moment we could be shot by the enemy
And any moment it could turn bad
But they gone have to try harder than that
I said any moment it could turn bad
Middle finger to the system though
Cause they can kiss my ass
[Malcolm x Outro]
And in my opinion, the young generation of whites
Blacks, browns, whatever else there is
You're living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution
A time when there's got to be a change
People in power have misused it
And now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built
And the only way it's going to be built—is with extreme methods
And I, for one, will join in with anyone—I don't care what color you are
As long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth”
