[Intro]
Yes, sir
A-F-R-O
It's time to stand up

[Verse 1]
I'm a man of revolution
They demand my execution
I stand through the land of confusion
I done planned the retribution
And whether I'm one of my brothers who believe in freedom, but can't be the one to go forth
And fight in a war with a modern-day Sodom, Gomorrah, I'm trying to fight in a force
They finding the source
But got a lot of lost comrades who couldn't make it
I put up my hand to the sky for the curse and the gift and I can't forsake it
You take in a breath and you better exhale
I'm feeling blessed to be expressing the tale
Colder than a prison cell
When it be that feeling, I know it well
Militant mind, feeling defined with the vibe that I'm appealing
We're in difficult times, enemy lines, and with no sight of living
My people better wake up
With their eyes open when times tough
All of my people been shaken up
But mind focused and blind luck
But often I wonder why we be off in a slumber
Embarking on what of you
I be the harmonious writer
And the planet earth is full of civilians who be blind sheep
Can't enter their mind, they can't be in tune with they psyche (Dum, dum)
[Chorus]
My people, please rise up
Even if we can't get the job done
My people, please wise up
They can't kill all of us
Dum-dum
Dum-dum
Dum-dum (Ayy, yo)
Dum-dum
I'm the art of revolution (Yo, yo)
I'm the heart of revolution
I'm the art of revolution (Yo, yo, one time, yo)
I'm the heart of revolution

[Verse 2]
Wind down, little high now
When I minimize now with a different high ground
Get a whiff of my sound, my name be F-R-O
Better pipe down, my K be so
I tell it like it is
It be the truth and I admit
I got the proof, the final fit
About a music I inflict
You get the message and the art, the grit, the pain of all my folk
It be a lesson from the start to hit the name that I approach
I'm onto living for my ancestors, man endeavors and steppers
I am from the original man, away they snatched all our treasure
Fight back, then bon voyage
Might I add, I'm on my guard
Quite sad, we drift apart
And it will go on and on
Once it was our territory, then they swept it under us
Took out every ounce of glory, replaced it with mistrust
Whether we fed up or we gon' decide to not take anymore and be ready, united
The government be so homicidal
One with the recital while evil so vital
Man up with the A-F-R-O, everybody band together
They can't take our minds away as long as we stand together
[Chorus]
My people, please rise up
Even if we can't get the job done
My people, please wise up
They can't kill all of us
I'm the art of revolution (Yo, yo)
I'm the heart of revolution
I'm the art of revolution (F-R-O, F-R-O)
I'm the heart of revolution

[Outro]
Aha
Yes, sir
A-F-R-O in the building
That's how we do it like that
And I'm out
