And if you don’t like this thing, let’s get ready to change it!

[Verse 1: Chuck D and (Flavor Flav)]

It got the summer written all over it

It is time, time for it to happen

What the fuck is it? (Get it!)

Some still can’t deal with it

Kill fast until they kill it

DJ Lord, Public Enemy, they be killin’ it

Still don’t get it confused

Shit I be killin’ it dude

Elevated

It ain’t the shoes

It is what it is

So be it

Ain’t just pointin’ to my fitted

It’s what’s inside it (Get it, get it, get it)

It’s happenin’

It’s got feeling, it’s got groove

Power to the people

It’s got nothing to lose

You can bob it, weave it

Some love it some leave it

Knowledge is power but

Some keep it a secret

Some really need it

Some say it from the rooftops

It’s doorstops and stoops

Till it’s livin’ and breathin’

Yo

Yo one two

So bet it and let it be

[Chorus]

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

[Verse 2: Chuck D, Jahi, and (Flavor Flav)]

It can be whatever you believe in

It can’t stop, won’t stop

Not a one size fit

Whatever you want in the world

Start by being it

I’ll never star it, spangle it, banner it

Some voted it

It is what it is

Hope got choked out didn’t it (Get it!)

Press secretaries in suits that just don’t fit

Chuck I got it, can’t stop it

Or cock block it

Ignore these false prophets

Blinded by fake profit

It is a damn shame

It is the same game

It is too late to complain

Can’t stand it (Get it!)

Loud and proud, too strong to ignore it

Either you against it, huh yeah, or you for it

Lie for it, die for it, do your damn best

At the test, come on uh, yeah try for it

Political landscape morbid

Seen my ancestors forbid it

Jahi and Marcus wrote it

(Wooo-eee!)

[Chorus]

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

[Verse 3: Chuck D and Jahi]

But you can quote it if I spoke it

I spray words on the target

Hold my pen the same way they hold an AK

Cause you can still lose your life for it

Some belief in me is all that I need

I know it, so be it, it be so, so it be

I never ask for it, that’s just me being me

State of the free it

As I see it through world eyes

Not on the demise

Global people on the rise

Don’t sit!

You pick up the pieces I’ll bring the glue

So be it for me, so you can be you

You pick up the pieces I’ll bring the glue

So be it for me, so you can be you

You pick up the pieces I’ll bring the glue

So be it for me, so you can be you

One two

One two

So be it and let it be

[Chorus]

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known (Come on!)

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

Y’all know it

So be it

Then be it so

So it be

Revolution

Then let it be known

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be

[Outro]

Get up, it’s the moment they fear

Can’t stop won’t stop

Be the change you wanna be

Be the change you wanna see

Get up, it’s the moment they fear

Get up, it’s the moment they fear

C-H-A-N-G-E-I-T

So be it and let it be
