Revolution Has Come

It is time Time It is time that everybody understand We been trying to move this struggle from a lower to a higher level All the people who sacrificed their lives We understand that fascism exists in America And we are going to create an American liberation front To combat the avaricious businessman, the demagogic politician And the fascist pig cops who murder, brutalize, and terrorize the people The people The future The very near, near future Revolution Revolution Revolution Revolution Revolution has come Time to pick up the gun Revolution Revolution Time to pick up the gun The unemployed graduate, the teachers ain't having it Cameras everywhere, but the kids is gang bangin' There ain't no war on drugs, it's a war on the 'hood The Democrats and Republicans, both up to no good They both got in bed with the multi-nacionales They sendin' us to prison instead of sending us to college The janitor's mop can't clean the situation When the dictator of a nation is called a corporation Swear to God on my mama, never supported Obama I'm a Chicago Riot Starter like a Haymarket Martyr I'd rather focus on the streets organizing the tribes Go against the grain, and know that I tried I'm not into working backwards, I'm talkin' direct action I'm talkin' fighting for freedom for the poor and working classes I won't work for reform, this is for my unborn I'm putting on a ski mask, and this weapon is drawn Revolution Revolution Revolution Revolution Revolution has come Time to pick up the gun Revolution Revolution Time to pick up the gun Muchas pistolas, we quick to reach for the holsta This is the culture of violence in which I've grown up They say "Grow up, make a livin'" in these miserable conditions Schools look more like prisons, and they shuttin' down the clinics If employment ain't an option, you ain't got shit, what you do?
