Revolution Song
Lee/ B. Wolfe
Nacido Libre Music/ Think Of One (ASCAP)

We keep dying so y'all can keep living/ They always taken and we keep giving
One day the world gonna turn upside down/ Another mother cries while her child falls to the ground
Street soldiers sell boulders to queens and make crack babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe
I say poison and the boys ran/ They wouldn't listen/ Trying to beat the hustle to find what was missing
And the answers they seek wouldn't be found in beer bottles
Need the father's to raise their daughters so they could be role models
Instead it’s Escalade dreams in VIP/ A man recognizes that that don't make he
Needed to find a place and space of his own comfort/ Needed to find a part in his heart that don't hurt
So he can give love to that woman he held clothes
So he can understand that's what she needed the most/ Now that's revolution

They keep fighting/ What they need is loving/ She's always yelling/ What they need is hugging
One day their house is gonna turn into a home/ One day this family will right their wrongs
Fathers scream and holler at innocent babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe
I say teach them and you can reach them they'll listen/ Give them the love that they've been missing
And the answers that they seek will be found in the truth each one teach one/ Be living proof
Instead it's tough love and welfare victims/ It’s everyone problems so each home fix them
Needed to find a place and space to communicate/ Needed to find a part in our hearts before it's too late So we can give love to that family, our owned
Miss us while we're here and not after we're gone/ Now that's Revolution

Show me respect and I'll show you some back/ We'll all get along both white and black
One day the world gonna turn over to peace/ When we get wise and all the fighting cease
Soldiers wage war on villages, killing women and baby babies/ Is that revolution? Some say maybe
I say evil we will the truth recognize/ Tired of beating on each other/ Tired of all the lies
And the answers that they seek will be found in the heart/ Needed nations to unite and no longer be a part Instead it's Exxon dreams and wars over oil/ A man recognize that the Earth is all's soil
Needed to find a place and space to come together
Needed to find a part in our heart where dreams last forever
So we could give love/ That's what we need to be closed
So we could understand that's what we needed the most/ Now that's revolution
