[00:00:01] Written by：Abiodun Oyewole

[00:00:01] When the revolution comes

[00:00:03] When the revolution comes

[00:00:05] When the revolution comes

[00:00:07] When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV

[00:00:10] with chicken hanging from our mouths you'll know its revolution

[00:00:14] Cause there won't be no commercials

[00:00:16] When the revolution comes

[00:00:18] When the revolution comes

[00:00:19] When the revolution comes

[00:00:21] Preacher pimps are gonna split the scene with

[00:00:22] The communion wine stuck in their back pockets

[00:00:25] Faggots won't be so funny then and all the junkies will quit

[00:00:28] Their nodding and wake up when the revolution comes

[00:00:31] When the revolution comes

[00:00:32] Transit cops will be crushed by the trains after losing their guns

[00:00:36] And blood will run through the streets of Harlem drowning anything without substance

[00:00:40] When the revolution comes

[00:00:42] When the revolution comes

[00:00:43] When the revolution comes

[00:00:45] When the revolution comes

[00:00:46] Our pearly white teeth froth the mouths that speak of revolution without reverence

[00:00:50] The cost of revolution is 360 degrees understand the cycle that never ends

[00:00:55] Understand the beginning to be the end and nothing is in between but space and

[00:00:59] Time that I make or you make to relate or not to

[00:01:03] Relate to the world outside

[00:01:04] My mind your mind speak not of revolution

[00:01:07] Until you are willing to eat rats to survive

[00:01:10] When the revolution comes

[00:01:13] When the revolution comes

[00:01:15] When the revolution comes guns and rifles will be taking the place of poems

[00:01:18] And essays black cultural centers will forts supplying the revolutionaries

[00:01:23] With food and arms when the revolution comes

[00:01:26] When the revolution comes

[00:01:27] White death will froth the walls of museums and churches breaking the lies

[00:01:31] That enslaved our mothers when the revolution comes

[00:01:34] When the revolution comes

[00:01:35] Jesus Christ is gonna be standing on the corner of

[00:01:37] Lennox ave and 125th st

[00:01:39] Trying to catch the first gypsy cab out of Harlem when the revolution comes

[00:01:44] When the revolution comes

[00:01:46] Jew merchants will give away motzah balls and gifilte fish to anyone

[00:01:49] They see with afros Frank Shieffin will give away the Apollo to

[00:01:52] The first person he sees wearing a blue dashiki

[00:01:55] When the revolution comes

[00:01:57] When the revolution comes afros gone be trying to straighten their heads

[00:02:00] And straightened heads gone be trying to wear afros

[00:02:03] When the revolution comes

[00:02:04] When the revolution comes

[00:02:06] When the revolution comes

[00:02:07] When the revolution comes

[00:02:08] But until then you know and I know niggers will party and bullsh*t

[00:02:13] And party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party

[00:02:22] Some might even die before the revolution comes
