[Intro:]
My generation can't you see?
The media is trying to hypnotize me
But the revolution won't be televised
When I look at your face all I see is lies
(DRUMSUBS)
Look at your face all I see is lies. .
Look at your face all I see is lies. .
[Verse 1:]
(Uh)
Who are you fooling?
Who the f** are you fooling
I'm watching TV and drooling
This sh** ain't even amusing;
Abusing your power
You conditioned my generation to live like some cowards
Well most of them barely living like
No emotions; Zombies with no emotions
I wear my heart on my sleeves;
I'm tatted causing commotion
Thinking for myself without a biased opinion
I hate preaching to n***as cause I ain't tired of sinning
Never am I ever embracing your standards
I severed off the levers of levees with hammers;
Opened the floodgates, focused as blood raced
From my heart to my brain;
I'm tripping for f**'s sake
I'm simply a nutcase cause I don't follow your trends
The media's impact will surely be n***as end
My legacy will begin when you open your mind
Three eyes open I could never be blind
(n***a)
[Hook:] (x2)
Tell my generation can't you see;
The media is trying to hypnotize me;
But the revolution won't be televised;
When I look at your face all I see is lies
[Verse 2:]
Certain agendas destroying our image
I'm getting offended
Cause they delaying my mission
Every day that I'm living
I be projecting my vision
Like the light of the moon
They excited for doom
Looking right at the news like, "It's only entertainment"
Stupid a** commercials got a n***a feeling brainless
Cause if I had a brain
I would be considered dangerous
Still I see no changes;
Sparked and now the flames lit
(Huh)
All the demons that I came with
Do not need concealing
All they need is rearranging
Backward a** times that we living in
I'm putting up a fight and I ain't giving in
[Hook:] (x3)
