The revolution say not be televised
The revolution will be in your homes
There shall be anarchy
There shall be anarchy
We stand in this place, asking for nothing
Asking for answers, praying for freedom
From this false democracy
This unending mediocrity
To ask you to leave
To decide now, not after you've made a mess
Wasting money on funerals when the road still kills
Building churches, when fathers can't afford these bills
Changing names cuz it's such a neat trick
Selling us out cuz all we do is nag and you're so slick
You keep pushing us to the boundaries
Multicolored souls, we march out our worry
The pain, the depression, the torment, the lies
The hidden agenda, the broken system, the tears we shed all night
They say black matters, yet we don't see it
We are all equal, yet we don't live it
Sentence ain’t corporate enough, so we don't print it
Cry over split milk, while the cow's bleeding
How did we get here, as a people
How do we live with ourselves
Gender bias, yet we claim love for ourselves
Import everything and everyone wants a favor before they help you
Yet the youth ain't doing enough
Well damn it
I hate funerals
Y’all just liars
Pretending when they lived, y’all were lovers
Is this the Ghana, fought for by Nkrumah and the regime
Please stay away from my life, my art, my being, my dream
This is how I portray my scheme
Don't stand in your corner with no reference and blow steam
Don't feel like Prince Hakeem, royal with no cream
Night of the living dead and no one to scream
Helebaba, I see your prayer is true
Touch my wife too
Take my money and make me cool
Blast my morning with your message
Build a cathedral, all I need is another place to pray
Let me be more biased in my way
Gutters chocking yet we still partying
Slowly losing value as a people
This is the revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
Gonna get some real answers now
We ain't here to Kid around no more
Better be careful of what you say
This is the revolt
The revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
The revolt
Gonna get some real answers now
The revolt
We ain't here to kid around no more
The revolt
Better be careful of what you say
The revolt
This is the revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
Gonna get some real answers now
We ain't here to Kid around no more
Better be careful of what you say
This is the revolt
The revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
The revolt
Gonna get some real answers now
The revolt
We ain't here to Kid around no more
The revolt
Better be careful of what you say
The revolt
In this frequency, none understanding
Cram us in the corner, get us breaking
It feels like y'all never gonna get it
Never gonna get what's coming
To you
These promises you sell that we keep buying into
Faux dreams that ain't ever happen
It's us, it's us, it’s us
Making you feel way more important
Damn it
You way too corrupt for our believing
Way to corrupt for me to believe in
Commit these crimes smiling
In our solitude, we break down crying
Still we vote for you
Still we vote for you
If you could be poor one day, buh you’ve been rich forever
Your children never gonna feel the hustle, the struggle, the pain, the neglect
The rejection, the empty stomachs and thirsty throats
Then they gain your power and then it recycles
Then they gain your power and then it recycles
We've been hiding for way too long
Soaking in the crap for way too long
Cannot and will not take this anymore
In case you thought you can get away all the time, remember one day the system will collapse
The people will find strength
The poor will rise up and eat the rich
The poor will rise up and eat the rich
In case you thought you can get away all the time, remember one day the system will collapse
The poor will rise up and eat the rich
The poor will rise up and eat the freaking rich
And this the revolt
This is the revolt aah
This is the revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
Gonna get some real answers now
We ain't here to Kid around no more
Better be careful of what you say
This is the revolt
The revolt
Gonna break down all the bull you've done
The revolt
Gonna get some real answers now
The revolt
We ain't here to kid around no more
The revolt
Better be careful of what you say
The revolt
