Farron Michaux - Revolution lyrics

[Hook] (x8) The revolution will not be televised [Verse 1] Diamonds, j**els, cash, and the cars Look at how these motherf**ers flashing them all Television Gods, got you on pause Worship the stars, while people just starve Try to take our knowledge but the pyramids ours Back to the basics, no such thing as race Take it back to Egypt, they erased our faces Brought us to a new world, taught us self hatred Wise up, rise up, new world, times up Only love here, cause they feed off of tears Devils in your prisms, and they feed off of fear GMO food you'll die in a couple years [Hook] (x2) [Verse 2] F.Michaux, the new Van Gogh They campaign for money, what the f**, they ain't broke And now days n***as so pro-government But bush still won, that's why the f** I ain't vote Attacking the system or I could attack what they lack in the system I don't cut em slack when I rap put the clip in and bup-bup-brrrat Another black in the prison, listen How many times when I rhyme, must i be inclined These n***as vision, not clearer than mine The pyramids here, pay attention to signs Looking for knowledge, see pictures of violence It's blacks in the college, but whites get the scholarships [Hook] (x8) [Verse 3] n***a Rachel shot the doctor Hard to prosper in a nation filled with hate so why I bother Questions that you can't relate to Can't debate, and can't escape Octagons are built with eight, sides The rhymes I build despised by those in suits with bright blue eyes
