Revolt by Codename.Chris


 

 

Everything is gonna be alright I promise you

For the critics who be hatin let me conquer and silence you

Don't be scared I know that we have to be let through

Black Power rising revolt now here's the interlude 

 

Now you can call me what you want

You can ball I see is a poor black excuse, where's your knowledge what's the use

I got knowledge for the young 

I got knowledge for the old

All the silver in the world couldn't change my skin from gold

You can stay a "believer" all I want from you is unity

Don't let them come in here and overtake our black communities

They ain't providing they're more like dividing 

Paradise lost it will come at a cost

It's surprising but uprising come in the Black Power

Don't you dare try to stop me you low coward

It's in no means that everything matters 

But with lives like us you better act like ours matter

 

It's a need for us to be us believe us 

Don't you bleed brother it's a creed that Jesus...wait

If he can see us deceive us

My grandfather looks more like Jesus than Jesus

It's funny got my butt rollin on the floor 

Getting lint in my hair and lint in my clothes

 

Listen to the words of my flow

I can make the sh*t miss the fan and fall right back on the floor 

I knocked on your door you were scared to answer

Look more shook than a private dancer 

Everything you do is a joke,

When will you quit when I spit on the mic you're gonna choke

I want the full black community to know 

That we will revolt like a colt on a ligthning bolt. 

Hotep.
