Busta Rhymes - Revolution lyrics

[Prelude: 2Pac speaking] You know what gang violence is, mostly? [And the people dont want you to hear this] If somebody shoots your family member Of course you retaliate, You know what I mean? Same thing the U.S does except nobody even shot their family members They see that, somebody bomb a school And all these people get k**ed So the united states feel like ooh thats messed up We gotta go show em who tha real k**ers This country was built on gangs, you know I think this country still is run on gangs Republicans, Democrats, The Police Department, The FBI The CIA, those are gangs, you know what I mean The correctional officers I had a correctional officer tell me straight "We the biggest gang in New York state Straight up." [Verse 1: 2Pac] Suppress the revolution of premeditated scheme Introduce a drug called crack, to us ghetto teens Got a law for raw n***as, now playa what it be like? When will n***as see they got us bleeding with three strikes Can't seem to focus hopeless, with violent thoughts I wrote this Got these Devils petrified, hiding from my hocus-pocus And so I learned to earn my currency in over time Affiliated, clearly click a military mind May God forgive us though we dwell inside a paradox Thugged out and drug dealin, from the womb to the block My live mind got me survivin five rounds My forty-five got my fortified with live rounds When sh**'s thick we plot hits, when our Glock spits All hail, Out on Bail, Wrath of the 2Pacalypse Forever ghetto necessary picture food stamps Outlaw Thug n***as never left the boot camp [Hook: Busta Rhymes] We got the real live sh** from front to back To my n***as in the world, 2Pac is back Where my soldiers is at? (2X) Where the f** my soldiers at? Where my soldiers is at? [Verse 2: 2Pac] Now I was born as a rebel, making trouble for the devil Take this gang bang sh**, to a whole (a)nother level Can you feel me now? Armies in every city Definition of power Players are you with me? See the war is the prophecy Survival is the strategy Rest in peace to my comrades that deceased [Busta Rhymes: yells "Notorious B.I.G!"] [Verse 2 Cont'd: 2Pac] Walking down the streets of time Youll have these devils petrified of a n***a in his right mind They tell us that we hopeless and hell bound This fo the brothers in penetentiaries jailed down I got you in my heart till tha day I die Think of tha damage we can do, if we wasn't high Can you picture me loc? Its a thugs wrath Political contracts and blood baths For Matulu Shakur up in the Rikers Though they got you, I never let them stop me The struggle continues [Skit: 2Pac Speaking Again] Now if we do want to live a thug life and a gangsta life and all of that Ok, so stop being cowards and lets have a revolution But we dont wanna do that, dudes just wanna live of character They wanna be cartoons, but if they really wanted to do something If they was that tough, alright, lets start our own country Lets start a revolution, lets get out of here, lets do something [Hook: Busta Rhymes] We got the real live sh** from front to back To my n***as in the world, 2Pac is back Where my soldiers is at? (2X) Where my soldiers at? Where my soldiers is at?
