The problem is the politics
So busy lyin they forgot about common sense
Just bein’ honest, to me this is astonishing
Cause I’m not seein’ nothin’ but a bunch of broken promises
And this is what you do to us
So many lies that I don’t know who to trust
But inside the confusion I gotta keep it movin’
Because I know that music is the glue to love
It’s up to you to make the choice to choose up
I know you feel abused used and bruised up
So my goal is to lead ‘em to freedom
Concerned so I drive you to school like a school bus
And I know I gotta search to reach you
Every word heard to alert the people
From the church to the streets who are hurt from defeat
Til every single person is free
Just another ghost without a home
Lookin’ for some flesh and bone
Oh oh oh oh…..
This is a war inside your mind
Time to let the bullets fly
Oh oh oh oh…
I may not ever be the popular voice
Cause I wasn’t sellin’ rock on the block with my boys
I been shot tryin’ to run from the cops
Growin up in the hood was a lot to avoid
Lives were destroyed, pain & anguish
Or when the beautiful started changin’ faces like Frank Gallagher
For the show to go on the character within must remain as shameless
Even if I’m never famous my aim won’t change
I’m here to break the chains of a thousand youths
So prepare the army corrale the troops
I don’t care about your color creed race or language
How many times will you let ‘em just embellish lies
Street cred is a relic for whoever dies
Hate is just love through jealous eyes
The revolution won't be televised
Chorus
And I know I gotta search to reach you
Every word heard to alert the people
From the church to the streets who are hurt from defeat
Til every single person is free
