[Verse 1]

Don't even try it, punk

You'll never have no wins here

You got no friends here

Your heart pumps fear, I know you've been scared

I'm prepared

To face the pressure when I put it on ya

Blame your peoples y'all

Somebody should have warned ya

That the day would come

When the truth would certify your lies

Nigga be dickriders, it's like undercovers wearing wires

Wanna infiltrate

Wanna know what makes the god tick

My voice is crucial to the track

Like the snare and hard kick

Each bar is sick, I spit phlegm in the form of gems

Listen how I glisten, watch the storm begin

Harsh winds, and then will come the downpour

Succas be faking, Jacks don't know what they're down for

I pop your dome with high incantation

Your feeble ass brain still enslaved like on a plantation

Like Frederick Douglass, I be the abolitionist

Breaking your chains, a modern revolutionist


[Chorus]

Too many tears of sorrow, too many years of struggle

Too many drops of blood, too many problems to juggle

Too few jobs available, too few schools equipped

Too few role models, so behold the revolutionist

Too many tears of sorrow, too many years of struggle

Too many drops of blood, too many problems to juggle

Too few jobs available, too few schools equipped

Too few role models, so behold the revolutionist


[Verse 2]

(Go ahead)

The revolutionist I blessed, refuse to kiss ass

Quit fast, I'm wearing the mask 'cause of my tormented past

Swallow the pain, follow the mental terrain

It takes a hell of [...] nowadays to maintain

[...] bloodstain

Face bruised and [...], eyes reflect agony

Of dreams that were shattered, it never mattered

To the so-called general public

About my nation's situation

And how we rise above it and they love it

When we self-destruct and kill our home

And the grade of responsability yes is still our own

We should know by now

That the system's designed for our demise

If we are wise we'll be left behind

The dollar size rule, but what about the fool

Who falls victim to the material world

Yo pick the jewel I can't see myself

All my fame in that type of gem

The rebel, the militant, yeah I'm not that type of man


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]

Worldwide famine, poor people demanded

That somebody do something soon

And let's examine the facts

Behind the violent acts, behind the daily gunplay

The cocaine and the crack

Thug season

That's the reason for the trees and everybody wants to eat

Some gotta resort the faithin', believin'

That the hustling help 'em get by

Well for anyone that gets over

Another hundred will die

Will I succumb? Will my heart grow numb ?

Or will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun

Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat

I know I carry mine, since the last time I got beat

Ain't nothing sweet

I turn a stickup kid to a soldier, put him down with the cause

Make him feel real bold and more intelligent

Plus aware of the tricknology, the revolutionist

Grab your shit and follow me


[Chorus]
