Dead Prez - We Need A Revolution (with lyrics)

I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired of struggalin dog
I'm tired of struggalin dog

The system ain't gonna change,
unless we make it change.

The white is the rock house,
Uncle Sam is the motha fuckin' 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 a melody?
Make it relevant? Hold a harmony hostage
to these people, army verses,
that's 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 Tom get nervous and reverse.
Revolutionary curse words
First come, first served.
It ain't no loss, love,
Freedom cost blood
that's the word to the Mossberg, nigga

We need a revolution,
We need a revolution,
The system ain't gonna change unless we make it change.
[x2]

(Black Power) We need a revolution, (RBG's)
We need a revolution, (RBG's)
The system ain't gonna change (RBG's) unless we make it change. (Nigga this that RBG's)
[x2]

Gotta 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 killin',
I can feed these hungry children,
I can stop racism, a product of cap-it-a-lism.
I can unpack the prisons,
and turn religion back to we livin'
I can stop the bloods from pillin'
caps
and the crips from pillin'
back
and get yo' cousin off crack,
I can stop the war,
that's in the black hood,
Send the money right back to the po' fo' sho an'
if you with me nigga, let me know
let's go, if ya really wanna know
(I wanna know.)
(We need a revolution)
Mutha fuck they constitution

RBG's off in this think
they hip to the game,
gettin' off the chains

The system ain't gonna change,
unless we make it change.

@JacqueFresco2012 I'd say Paramahamsa Nithyananda is the greatest person on this planet now... I've enjoyed a video of a lecture by Jacque Fresco some time ago... I'd say: meditate... (on the question, "Who am I?"). Or just watch your breath for 10 minutes a day. Be aware... Infuse Awareness in everything you do... Connect with the All-Knowing, He will answer all your questions...

@hayzymc: good question -- I was looking for it too...

...anyone..?

I don't like rap usually but damn, these lyrics are powerful. This is actually got some context to it unlike most rap artists these days... I'm impressed. Especially with the stanza that starts like "Gotta cure for AIDS and cancer". That blew my mind man, and the capitalist remark sealed the deal.

@mailw1n

for the people who listen to dead prez and really understand their message in all of their songs. you should look up jacque fresco. he has a plan for when we surpass things like CAPITALISM,MONEY,PRISONS,POLIC­E etc etc.When it all goes down we need a plan we have you cant just start building stuff we need to work together.

(if you look him up add a subject like racism or his plan, the venus project or whatever you want to know. he will answer all your questions)
