๐ Lyrics
I'm seeing bodies in the alley and blood in the valley
From the shores of Maine all the way to Compton Cali
I'm calling rally to the homies in the street light
Take a real close at what it look like
A young in the ghetto raised up on whit
The first thing momma told him was don't take no
Playing 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 tomorrow
'Cause 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
The lies and alibis and come to realize
My vision won't assault of wasted on blinded eyes
Like A-T and T you gotta make a switch
Or get pushed to the side like a lil' old
When the revolution come I'ma be up front
With my finger on the trigga of a Mossberg pump
When the revolution come I'ma be right there
With my in my hand, raising my hand
Make everyone aware, that the rebels arise fill smokes in the skies
Like New York, Chicago, Chicago and Washington
I've been hollering and hooping yeah, looting and shooting
I'm doing some recruiting to bring more troops in
Don't be doing what they 'posed to do
They betta post on the corna with the busta crew
Playing games I used to play back in '79
With the same and the same old lie
If you want some respect ya won't be individual
On the nuts 'cause he rolling in the 64
Yo' favorite line is all a y'all
But one day there's gonna be a final call
That's why I'm rolling deep in the
Always on the peep and my crew don't fall asleep
So pull your money outa your pocket and put it in the middle
This ain't no rooster Chicken George on a fiddle, huh
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
In my self I trust
When the revolution come I'ma be up front
With my finger on the trigga of a Mossberg pump
When the revolution come I'ma be right there
With my in my hand, raising my hand
For they dont believe the revolution is coming with news
You know I don't, you know I don't
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't mind folks
Way back in the days we used to sling 'em in the street
But now when get beating, they want to go and get their heat
Everybody know that you know how to kill
But tell me do you how to let a live
I gotta dream that maybe one day can't fight then walk away
I'm talking fist to cuff with them pistols up
And shoot 'em from the shoulders, and show that 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 be 'fore I disobey
Its the one, two combination punch to the throat
There's a hole in ya boat, that's all she wrote
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in my self I trust
When the revolution come I'ma be up front
With my finger on the trigga of a Mossberg pump
When the revolution come I'ma be right there
With my in my hand, raising my hand
When the revolution come I'ma be straight leveled
Though I know in the gutter pistol small
Revolution come(back in the days when you get into trouble)
When the revolution come (you are going to get yourself killed)
Sure will, sure will
South-Central Los Angeles is a holocaust with flames and smoke
As proud black warriors are all comfortable
To reclaim our destiny, restore our hold
To make everyone aware
That the rebel arise still smokings in spots
From the shores of Maine all the way to Compton Cali
I'm calling rally to the homies in the street light
Take a real close at what it look like
A young in the ghetto raised up on whit
The first thing momma told him was don't take no
Playing 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 tomorrow
'Cause life is full of hardships, pimp slaps, and sorrow
