lyrics

(Intro Poem)

Jovan:
I was gonna last in the end (end)
I was gonna last the 10 years (years)
I was gonna last the 50 years (years)
Can we listen to this later on and say its still relevant?
It always brings tears to my eyes cause Im sick of all of it
And Im sick of all the good ones dying
Im sick of all the good ones dying from trying
Pick up the torch
Make it to the finish
So we can always stay winning....

(Verse)

No more excuses for these institutions,
too rigged to fail,
making billions off my persecution,
they're building jails and the churches and the liquor stores
on a grand scale,
can't even tell me what I'm guilty for anymore,
BANG, BANG!
Uneven shots rang into another young frame,
a coverup,
got too caught up in a rappers chain swang.
Distractions to keep me inactive and lost in abstractions,
while the other faction learns to take the knife to my throat,
a killer toying with his human coat,
will i survive or even thrive,
is there a flicker of hope,
when in captivity?
My best guess would have to be, Yes!
so my proclivity to panic, Imma have to address.
so i can stand with the ones who ain't afraid to express,
that it's the system not the symptom,
refuse to take another victim!
Nothing changes when you waitin' on time.
The only change that really matters takes place in the mind, homie.

(Chorus)

*The first change, it takes place in the mind.*
Brothas.
*The first change, it takes place in the mind.*
Sistas.
Frist, change.
Revolt.
First Change.
Revolt.
First change.
Revolt.
Momma's
*The first change, it takes place in the mind.*
Papa's.
*The first change, it takes place in the mind.*First, change.
Revolt.
First Change.
Revolt.
First change.
Revolt.

[hook]
You know what you got to do!/
You must start a revolution!/
You know what you got to do!/
It’s time to start a revolution!/

(Jovan Verse)

We’re here to start a revolution, you thinking it’s convoluted/
Fight against the constitution, get on board and stop polluting/
I’m influenced by the nuisance, my words in which I am fluent/
And I believe that if you know the language, you should use it./
Articulate is what they say ‘bout me, fuck those that doubt me/
Who will you be without me, I have good vibes that surrounds me/
You know that I’m just, just tryna make a difference in the world/
With my little talents: For the brown girls./
The first-thing-takes place in your mind/
When you think about it first, it will manifest in your life/
All you gotta do is try, and keep your head to the sky/
One of the many things that I learned from the late Left Eye/
If I ever start a war, it would be forcing unity/
In our communities, removing all the stupidity/
If you’re an artist, artistry comes with responsibility/
Use with all your might, your insight, and your agility/

(Chorus)

(hook)

(verse)

Don't need no cautionary tale
from a young black male,
just peep the lesson.
America's the crook,
let's try to force a confession.
Apathy is key,
in this game of possession.
They're hacking at my knees
to try to halt this progression.
Viewer discretion advised,
in this relapse of time.
Static signals fucking with your mind,
and the tape on rewind
to keep the best of us blind.
Check the last date,
the crime rate ain't declined, homie.
It's all phony,
they want to think that we're from the bottom.
Even erase our principles so we're not sure we got em.
Doing damage with that heavy artillery.
You fight a beast you bound to lose some civility.
So let me learn ya.
Use you're mind as a burner.
Realize the lies and utilize your own eyes, hey.
Don't be a slave to those fuckin' dead prez.
Fuck Rahm & Anita Alvz,
we gotta get them out,
and re-route all their serpentine agendas.
To keep the woke ones, like you and I splinterd.
Lets not pretend to,
pat a pup on the head
but its a wolf
with it's teeth blaring,
hungrily staring at your dignity.
You're not my enemy
maybe my brotha or my sista,
you might be kin to me,
I rather hug you like I missed ya.

I rather hug you like I missed ya.

But first:

(Chorus)
