dead prez — We Need a Revolution

[Intro] I'm tired... I'm tired... I'm tired of struggling, dog... I'm tired of struggling, dog... The system ain't gon' change Unless we make it change [Verse 1] The White House is the rock house Uncle Sam is the motherfucking pusher man What I gotta do to make sure ya understand? Spit it on a beat by Timbaland? What I gotta do? Kidnap Aaliyah? Take her melody? Make it relevant? Hold her harmony hostage To these People Army verses Stash the arms in the churches Bombs in the purses Just when you think it's calm on the surface We bomb on the first, Uncle Toms gets nervous every verse Revolutionary curse words, first come first serve It ain't no lost love, freedom cost blood That's word to the Mossberg, nigga [Hook] We need a revolution We need a revolution The system ain't gon' change Unless we make it change We need a revolution We need a revolution The system ain't gon' change Black power! RBG's, RBG's, RBG's - nigga this that RBG's! Black power! The system ain't gon' change Unless we make it change [Verse 2] Got a cure for AIDS and cancer Wanna know? Come follow me now Diabetes and sickle cell even mad cow - wanna know how? I can stop these cops from killing I can feed these hungry children I can stop racism, a product of capitalism I can unpack the prisons and turn religion back to we livin' I can stop the Bloods from peelin' caps And the Crips from peelin' back And get your cousin off crack I can stop the war, that's in the black hood Get the money right back to the poor for sure and If you with me nigga , let me know Let's go, if ya really wanna know (I wanna know) We need a real solution - motherfuck they constitution!
