The revolution will not be televised | |
The revolution is here | |
Yeah, it's Common Sense, with DJ Premier | |
We gonna help y'all see clear | |
It's real hip-hop music, from the soul, y'all | |
Yeah, check it, yo | |
The perseverence of a rebel I drop heavier levels | |
It's unseen or heard, a king with words | |
Can't knock the hustle, but I've seen street dreams deferred | |
Dark spots in my mind where the scene occured | |
Some say I'm too deep, I'm in too deep to sleep | |
Through me, Muhammed will forever speak | |
Greet brothers with handshakes in ghetto landscapes | |
Where a man is determined by how much a man make | |
Cop Cognacs and spit old raps with young cats | |
with cigarettes in their ear, niggerish they appear | |
Under the Fubu is a guru, that's untapped | |
Want to be in the rap race but ain't ran one lap | |
Ran so far from the streets that you can't come back | |
You tripping with nowhere to unpack, forgot that | |
Chorus: (Scratched by DJ Premier with variations): | |
'This is rap for real, something you feel' | |
'And you know, yes you know' | |
'Rap for the black people' | |
'Heeeeyyyy, heeeeeyyyy' | |
In front of two-inch glass and Arabs I order fries | |
Inspiration when I write, I see my daughter's eyes | |
I'm the truth, across the table from corporate lies | |
Immortilized by the realness I bring to it | |
If revolution had a movie I'd be theme music | |
My music, you either fight, fuck, or dream to it | |
My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it | |
Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it | |
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want millions | |
More than money saved, I wanna save children | |
Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity | |
A complex man drawn off of simplicity | |
Reality is frisking me | |
This industry will make you lose intensity | |
The Common Sense in me remembers the basement | |
I'm Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake shit | |
Chorus | |
Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world | |
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl | |
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from | |
In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum | |
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected | |
How many dead folks this art resurrected | |
How many nations this culture connected | |
Who am I to judge one's perspective? | |
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating | |
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating | |
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds | |
Travel the world and penetrate the times | |
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom | |
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em | |
For now I appreciate this moment in time | |
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like | |
Chorus til fade |
