The Revolution Lyrics by Coolio

The Revolution Lyrics

    I'm seein' bodiez in the alley and blood in the valley
    From the shores of maine all the way to compton cali
    I'm 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 whit
    The first thing momma told him was don't take no shit
    Playin tag with body bag,
    Bullets,
    And bloody rag
    And did you put the dodge on the toe tag?
    Whoever the man today, might not be the man tomarrow
    Cuz life is full of hardships, pimpslaps, and sorrow
    Ya gotta believe in something, but whatever ya do
    Make sure what you believe is real and true
    Fuck the liez an' alibiez an' come to realize
    My vision won't assault of wasted on blind lil' eyes
    Like a t an' t ya gotta make a switch
    O' get pushed to the side like a lil' ol' bitch....



    -chorus-
    When the revolution come i'm gonna be up front
    With my finga on the trigga of a mossburgh pump
    When the revolution come i'm gonna be right there
    With my nine in my hand and braids in my hair




    I've been hollerin' and hoopin' yeah
    Lootin' an' shootin'
    I'm doin' some recruitin' to bring mo' troops in
    Niggaz don't be doin' what they 'posed to do
    They betta post on the corna with the busta crew
    Playin' games i used to play back in '79
    With the same bullshit an' the same ol' lie
    If you want some respect ya won't be individual
    On the nigga nuts cuz he rollin' in the sixty-fo'
    Yo favorite line is fuck all a y'all
    But one day there's gonna be a final call
    That's why i'm rollin' deep in the motherfuckin' jeep
    Always on the peep an' my crew don't fall asleep
    So pull your money outa your pocket an' put it in the middle
    This ain't no roosta 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 dayz we used to sling 'em in the street
    But now when niggaz 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
    I gotta dream that maybe one day
    Niggaz can't fight then walk away
    I'm talkin' fist to cuff with them pistols up, an'
    Shoot 'em from the shoulders
    To show them you can hold your
    I sing the song of the fight of the black man
    In america
    In a state of hysteria
    No longa will i accept the second rate
    I plan to set the record straight b'fore i disobey
    Its the one - two combination punch to the throat
    There's a hole in ya boat bitch
    That's all she wrote
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
    In my mothafuckin' self i trust....




    -chorus-




    When the revolution come i'm gonna be straight loc
    Goin' out in a cloud of pistol smoke
    The revolution come...........
    ........the revolution come.
