you ain't got time

to have once been a criminal

there's no disgrace

to remain a criminal

is the disgrace

politics is a pile of tricks

eight years

what do we get out of it?

more chatter

more gun splatter

more dumb rappers

and dumb athletes and actors

my name's revolution

open your eyes

i'm not on tv

cuz the revolution will not be televised

they telling lies

we better rise and get a plan

the us president? he's endorsed by the clan

damn

you don't understand what's going on?

slavery coming back and most of y'all just gonna go along

not me

they ain't veiling me

you can see

i ain't vote for the president or hillary

america tryin' to put the fear in ya

they the reason for the fake war there in syria

so when i grab the mic

i spit a full-clip

wake up

you ain't got time for this bullshit

to have once been a criminal

there's no disgrace

to remain a criminal

is the disgrace

to have once been a criminal

there's no disgrace

to remain a criminal

is the disgrace

this what the boom bap sound do

since way back in the bronx

i had a sound view

if you hearin' this

the truth

it just found you

i'm in his town

her town

your town too

man

i stay ahead like a crown do

look around you

knowledge reigns supreme

this is what it comes down to

people talkin'

but ain't doin' nothin'

krs ain't about frontin'

let me tell you somethin'

we need unity at all cost

or everything is all lost

these lessons are hard

that tweeter shit is so soft

brothers killing brothers killing brothers with the sawed off

no remorse

brothers are hauled off up north

we off course

believe in the hype

honesty

we ignore; but that deceiving

we like

these rappers are corny

but you like he aight"
