The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

 

 

You will not be of the minority my brother

You will not be another gunned down black man just trying to make a way for himself

You will not have to pull out your glock to cock back click clat bang to defend what’s yours

And throw away your life showing the government  that us negroes will never amount to anything

Because the Revolution will not be televised

 

The Revolution will not be televised

 

The Revolution will not be brought to you by MTV or VH1  

You will not be 16 and pregnant while fist pumping down jersey shore

The revolution will not show you how to be single ladies

Nor show the men how to love New York

You will not be another stereotypical black catfishing their way through reality

Because the Revolution will not televised

 

The Revolution will not show you how to rock your hips

nor spread your legs

Allowing every type of germ

from bacteria

to a perverted man to enter inside you.

The revolution will not show our young women being beat down and shunned out.

It will not show you how to shake what your momma gave ya on Lil Wayne’s next rap video

Because the Revolution will not be televised

 

Instead The Revolution will be brought to you by our future Huxtable’s.

Allowing the world to see that a strong black family still exists in America.

 

The revolution will show that freedom is ringing and that freedom will continue to ring

As all walks of life come together as a united front teaching later generations that love is the unified theory of everything.

 

The Revolution will not be televised, will not be televised

Will not be televised, will NOT be televised

The revolution will be no re-runs family

The revolution will be live.
