[00:01.779]When the revolution comes
[00:03.628]When the revolution comes
[00:05.241]When the revolution comes
[00:07.726]When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV
[00:10.764]with chicken hanging from our mouths you'll know its revolution
[00:14.243]Cause there won't be no commercials
[00:16.664]When the revolution comes
[00:18.649]When the revolution comes
[00:19.965]When the revolution comes
[00:21.094]Preacher pimps are gonna split the scene with
[00:22.738]The communion wine stuck in their back pockets
[00:25.084]Faggots won't be so funny then and all the junkies will quit
[00:28.319]Their nodding and wake up when the revolution comes
[00:31.297]When the revolution comes
[00:32.565]Transit cops will be crushed by the trains after losing their guns
[00:36.373]And blood will run through the streets of Harlem drowning anything without substance
[00:40.336]When the revolution comes
[00:42.108]When the revolution comes
[00:43.631]When the revolution comes
[00:45.004]When the revolution comes
[00:46.252]Our pearly white teeth froth the mouths that speak of revolution without reverence
[00:50.240]The cost of revolution is 360 degrees understand the cycle that never ends
[00:55.720]Understand the beginning to be the end and nothing is in between but space and
[00:59.985]Time that I make or you make to relate or not to
[01:03.001]Relate to the world outside
[01:04.389]My mind your mind speak not of revolution
[01:07.710]Until you are willing to eat rats to survive
[01:10.428]When the revolution comes
[01:13.825]When the revolution comes
[01:15.577]When the revolution comes guns and rifles will be taking the place of poems
[01:18.975]And essays black cultural centers will forts supplying the revolutionaries
[01:23.250]With food and arms when the revolution comes
[01:26.001]When the revolution comes
[01:27.618]White death will froth the walls of museums and churches breaking the lies
[01:31.340]That enslaved our mothers when the revolution comes
[01:34.105]When the revolution comes
[01:35.286]Jesus Christ is gonna be standing on the corner of
[01:37.724]Lennox ave and 125th st
[01:39.878]Trying to catch the first gypsy cab out of Harlem when the revolution comes
[01:44.255]When the revolution comes
[01:46.569]Jew merchants will give away motzah balls and gifilte fish to anyone
[01:49.202]They see with afros Frank Shieffin will give away the Apollo to
[01:52.931]The first person he sees wearing a blue dashiki
[01:55.579]When the revolution comes
[01:57.003]When the revolution comes afros gone be trying to straighten their heads
[02:00.694]And straightened heads gone be trying to wear afros
[02:03.260]When the revolution comes
[02:04.862]When the revolution comes
[02:06.574]When the revolution comes
[02:07.814]When the revolution comes
[02:08.826]But until then you know and I know niggers will party and bullsh*t
[02:13.973]And party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party
[02:22.782]Some might even die before the revolution comes
