From the shores of Maine all the way to Compton Cali
~#**************#~
Im callin rally to the homies in the street light
~#**************#~
Take a real close at what it look like
~#**************#~
A young nigga in the ghetto raised up on grift
~#**************#~
The first thing momma told him was dont take no shit
~#**************#~
Playin tag with body bags
~#**************#~
Bullets
~#**************#~
And bloody rags
~#**************#~
Intent to put the dodge on the toe tag
~#**************#~
Whoever the man today, might not be the man tomarrow
~#**************#~
Cuz life is full of hardships, pimp slaps, and sorrow
~#**************#~
Ya gotta believe in something, but whatever ya do
~#**************#~
Make sure what you believe is real and true
~#**************#~
Fuck the lies an alibis, I come to realize
~#**************#~
My visual assault are wasted on blind eyes
~#**************#~
Like AT&T ya gotta make a switch
~#**************#~
Or get pushed to the side like a lil ol bitch….
~#**************#~
-Chorus-
~#**************#~
When the Revolution come Imma be up front
~#**************#~
With my finger on the trigger of a Mossberg Pump
~#**************#~
When the Revolution come Imma be right there
~#**************#~
With my nine in my hand and braids in my hair
~#**************#~
Ive been hollerin and hoopin yeah
~#**************#~
Lootin an shootin
~#**************#~
Out doin some recruitin to bring mo troops in
~#**************#~
Niggas dont be doin what they ‘posed to do
~#**************#~
They betta post on the corner with the busta crew
~#**************#~
Playin games I used to play back in 79
~#**************#~
With the same bullshit an the same ol line
~#**************#~
If you want some residual be an individual
~#**************#~
On a nigga nuts cuz he rollin in a Sixty-fo
~#**************#~
Your favorite line is fuck all a yall
~#**************#~
But one day theres gonna be a final call
~#**************#~
Thats why Im rollin deep in the motherfuckin Jeep
~#**************#~
Always on the peep an my crew dont fall asleep
~#**************#~
So pull your money out your pocket an put it in the middle
~#**************#~
This aint no rooster ass Chicken George nigga on a fiddle, huh
~#**************#~
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
~#**************#~
In my mothafuckin self I trust….
~#**************#~
-Chorus-
~#**************#~
Way back in the days we used to sling em in the street
~#**************#~
But now when niggas get beat
~#**************#~
They wanna go an get their heat
~#**************#~
Everybody know that you know how to kill
~#**************#~
But tell me do you how to let a nigga live
~#**************#~
Ive got a dream that maybe one day
~#**************#~
Niggas can fight then walk away
~#**************#~
Im talkin fisticuffs, put them pistols up, an
~#**************#~
Shoot em from the shoulders
~#**************#~
To show that you can hold your
~#**************#~
I sing the song of the plight of the black man
~#**************#~
In America
~#**************#~
In a state of hysteria
~#**************#~
No longer will I accept the second rate
~#**************#~
I plan to set the record straight before I dissipate
~#**************#~
Its the one – two combination punch to the throat
~#**************#~
Theres a hole in ya boat bitch
~#**************#~
Thats all she wrote
~#**************#~
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
~#**************#~
In my mothafuckin self I trust….
~#**************#~
-Chorus-
~#**************#~
When the Revolution come Imma be straight loc
~#**************#~
Going out in a cloud of pistol smoke
~#**************#~
When the Revolution come….
