I thought this was "Thou not kill" But police lettin' off on niggas in the Ville Claimin' he reached for a gun They really think we dumb and got a wish Now somebody's son is layin' I was a little boy my father lived in Texas Pulled up in Toyota, drove bitch like it was Lexus Put my bag in his trunk and off for Dallas Out there for the summer, feelin' just I was Alice in the Wonderland where niggas still sufferin' Just like they was back home, and that's So now "Fuck the government!" They see my strugglin' And they don't give a fuck at all, and that's wrong,

Here's a thought for my heart a deeper look at history, it's there to pick apart See, the people at the top, they get to do what they want 'Til a while the people at the bottom finally get smart they start to holla "Revolution!" Tired of livin' here, Fuck that lootin'! Can you tell me what's the solution? I to think it was to overthrow oppressors, see If we destroy the system, that means we'll less of greed But see, not that simple I got to thinkin' about the history of human While this instrumental Then I somethin' that made Me wonder if was really ever the way Before you trip and throw a fit over these I say Think this shit for second, you heard the way The children in abusive households up Knockin' girlfriends out cold—that's a cycle Abused the abuser and that's just how life go So You get the power, but you know power does to man? Corruption always leads us to the same shit So when you talk revolution Dawg, I hear just you sayin' good is takin' over When we what you gon' do? The real revolution happens right inside of you I said, what good is takin' When we know what you do? The only revolution happens right inside of you, nigga
