The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Letras
You will not be able to gaslight, brother
You will not be able to block, unfollow, mute
Or swipe left to disengage with the revolution
It will be immersive, live-streaming in its
Entirety and uninterrupted on every platform
But the revolution will not be televised
There will be no monologue at the top
No choose-your-adventure midway through or panel discussion to
Follow as we drone shot into the previously scheduled program
The link is absolutely in the bio
You cannot hit that like button and subscribe
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be lit
You won't find a discount QR code to it in your junk email along with
Coupons for the Presidents Day sale at Overstock.com, eBay, or Amazon
The revolution is not made possible by the
Mellon Foundation and listeners like you
The revolution is not gon' come, it has come in
The form of a rude awakening to the current
Paradigm shift and the acknowledgement of a new day
We are currently living in the proverbial future
It is now more important than ever to prioritize
Living by example as we emulate the divine
It is now more important than ever to exercise
Self-love as a people and to consider how our
Generation will be regarded by generations to come
The revolution is young, hungry, and strong, courageous and wise
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be covered on Fox News, nor does it feel
Threatened by those who look, think, or behave differently than it
The revolution does not require you to observe
What it observes or to believe what it believes
It's not preoccupied with whether you stand, sit
Stoop, dance, or take a knee during the national anthem
The revolution is more concerned with change
The revolution is all-inclusive and non-exclusive
It transcends time, space, race, and religion
It is wide awake at all times and understands that
Accepting, addressing, and correcting the transgressions
Of the past is the only path to a better tomorrow
The revolution is the solution
It is both the question and the answer in these uncertain times
It is the end-all, be-all with regards to
What has happened and what happens next
Because like evolution, the revolution has long been in effect
Go get a late pass
It's been an uphill climb
Manual transmission and no four-wheel drive
The clock, one hand missin', had to tell real time
My fuel and ambition to compel real minds
To say my beginnings was humble be more than an understatement
Every odd is a rumble I face comin' to greatness
Insanity's evasive and lately mortality's starin'
Me in the face, it's been tearin' me different places
God's revealin' these dealin' me different aces
The job is healin', my history's been abrasive
It's hard to feel like your body house is vacant inside
Or like the draw of the wild is too persuasive
So energy I've been playin' is super safe with
Barely breakin' even while battlin' human nature
The revolution's so close that I can taste it
So patiently I'm waitin', I'm posted at the station, word
