Lyrics

You will not be able to gaslight, brother You will not be able to block, unfollow, mute, or swipe left to disengage with the revolution It will be immersive, live streaming in its entirety and uninterrupted on every platform But the revolution will not be televised There will be no monologue at the top No choose your adventure midway through Or panel discussion to follow As we drone shot into the previously scheduled program The link is absolutely in the bio You cannot hit that like button and subscribe The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be lit You won't find a discount QR code to it in your junk email along with coupons for the president's day sale at overstock dot com eBay or amazon The revolution is not made possible by the Mellon foundation and listeners like you The revolution is not gon' come, it has come, in the form of a rude awakening to the current paradigm shift and the acknowledgment of a new day We are currently living in the proverbial future It is now more important than ever to prioritize living by example as we emulate the divine It is now more important than ever to exercise self love as a people and to consider how our generation will be regarded by generations to come The revolution is young, hungry and strong, courageous and wise The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be covered on Fox news Nor does it feel threatened by those who look, think, or behave differently than it The revolution does not require you to observe what it observes or to believe what it believes It's not preoccupied with whether you stand, sit, stoop, dance, or take a knee during the national anthem The revolution is more concerned with change The revolution is all inclusive and non exclusive It transcends time space race, and religion It is wide awake at all times It understands that accepting, addressing, and correcting the transgressions of the past is the only path to a better tomorrow The revolution is the solution It is both the question and the answer in these uncertain times It is the end-all be-all with regards to what has happened and what happens next because like evolution, the revolution has long been in effect Go get a late pass [instrumental break] It's been an uphill climb Manual transmission no four wheel drive The clock, one hand missing, had to tell real time My view and ambition to compel real minds They say my beginnings were humble be more than an understatement Every odd is a rumble I face coming to greatness Insanity's evasive And lately mortality's staring me in the faces been tearing me different places God's revealing these dealing me different aces The job is healing my history's been abrasive It's odd to feel like your body house is vacant inside Or like the draw of the wild is too persuasive So energy - I've been playing it super safe with barely breaking while battling human nature The revolution's so close that I can taste it But patiently I'm waiting I'm posted at the station Word
