Coolio - The Revolution (Amended)(1995)

[00:21.92] I'm seein' bodiez in the alley and blood in the valley
[00:24.02] From the shores of Maine all the way to Compton Cali
[00:26.32] I'm callin' rally to the homies in the street light
[00:28.90] Take a real close at what it look like
[00:31.30] A young nigga in the ghetto raised up on whit
[00:34.46] The first thing momma told him was don't take no shit
[00:37.26] Playin tag with body bag,
[00:38.55] Bullets,
[00:39.31] And bloody rag
[00:40.07] And did you put the dodge on the toe tag?
[00:41.91] Whoever the man today, might not be the man tomarrow
[00:45.13] Cuz life is full of hardships, pimpslaps, and sorrow
[00:47.75] Ya gotta believe in something, but whatever ya do
[00:50.04] Make sure what you believe is real and true
[00:52.62] Fuck the liez an' alibiez an' come to realize
[00:55.65] My vision won't assault of wasted on blind lil' eyes
[00:58.39] Like A T an' T ya gotta make a switch
[01:00.93] O' get pushed to the side like a lil' ol' bitch...
[01:03.97] -Chorus-
[01:05.25] When the Revolution come I'm gonna be up front
[01:06.79] With my finga on the trigga of a Mossburgh Pump
[01:08.63] When the Revolution come I'm gonna be right there
[01:11.46] With my nine in my hand and braids in my hair
[01:14.18] I've been hollerin' and hoopin' yeah
[01:25.06] Lootin' an' shootin'
[01:27.66] I'm doin' some recruitin' to bring mo' troops in
[01:30.30] Niggaz don't be doin' what they 'posed to do
[01:32.78] They betta post on the corna with the busta crew
[01:35.34] Playin' games I used to play back in '79
[01:38.41] With the same bullshit an' the same ol' lie
[01:40.67] If you want some respect ya won't be individual
[01:43.45] On the nigga nuts cuz he rollin' in the Sixty-fo'
[01:46.32] Yo favorite line is fuck all a y'all
[01:48.61] But one day there's gonna be a final call
[01:52.36] That's why I'm rollin' deep in the motherfuckin' Jeep
[01:54.01] Always on the peep an' my crew don't fall asleep
[01:56.57] So pull your money outa your pocket an' put it in the middle
[01:59.51] This ain't no roosta ass Chicken George nigga on a fiddle, huh
[02:01.97] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[02:04.28] In my mothafuckin' self I trust...
[02:07.50] -Chorus-
[02:08.18] Way back in the dayz we used to sling 'em in the street
[02:29.21] But now when niggaz get beat
[02:32.44] They wanna go an' get their heat
[02:33.72] Everybody know that you know how to kill
[02:36.31] But tell me do you how to let a nigga live
[02:38.88] I gotta dream that maybe one day
[02:41.60] Niggaz can't fight then walk away
[02:44.25] I'm talkin' fist-a-cuffs put the pistols up and shoot 'em from
[02:47.05] The shoulders to show that you can hold yours
[02:49.95] I sing the song of the fight of the black man
[02:52.36] In America
[02:55.38] In a state of hysteria
[02:55.72] No longa will I accept the second rate
[02:58.32] I plan to set the record straight b'fore I disobey
[03:00.43] Its the one - two combination punch to the throat
[03:02.79] There's a hole in ya boat bitch
[03:05.34] That's all she wrote
[03:06.10] Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
[03:07.83] In my mothafuckin' self I trust...
[03:09.53] -Chorus-
[03:47.18]
