I got free when I stop looking for answers
The world can transform you like the Hulk did Banner
In this life either you an anvil or a hammer
But regardless I will never live by all of your standards

Know they want me to pack sell as a black male
Just to live and die in black hell or a white jail

The smarter that we get they get a lil more strategic
Trapped, I thinking Malcom and Huey P wouldn't believe it

Keep my ears to the streets and my eyes on the government
I get the vibe that this ain't home; I'm looking for the mothership

How we used to move mountains?
Now we only move for payment
All that hatred
Robbed us of our intuition from the ancients

Now, poverty - it finds me
It ain't been this high since the 90s
You a woman - black or brown - then it's likely
Your child will live out movies wrote by Spike Lee
(statistics so let's get it)

The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be--
Get the fuck out yo phone
