[Intro: Talib Kweli]
Revolutions require participation
But sometimes people be hesitating
The government must respect the will of the people
The government serve the people, the people don't serve the government
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Voter registration with no scope of education is a waste of time with no hope, it's just frustration
It's ain't no choice when you're picking the voice of a nation
You're just contributing to the status quo's preservation
Plus we ain't got no universal health care and who the hell care about crack mothers on welfare?
Listening to Dead Prez, hell yeah, but Jay Z first
Thinking of how we was snatched like old ladies' purses
Dropped on american soil for a greater purpose
Plus I know my people got layers, you gotta break the surface
The way I rap got the man nervous
Frodo failed, Bush got the ring snitching like he's got a sink
Fixing elections like it's not a thing
Somebody please expose the fact that it's going back to one party
They called president Bill Clinton a whoremonger
Voted him out and replaced with a warmonger
[Hook]
It's like a jungle sometimes, I'm at the front of the line
I ain't tripping, but I stumble sometimes
Then I get right back up
Then I get right back up
Revolutions require participation
But sometimes people be hesitating
The government must respect the will of the people
The government serve the people, the people don't serve the government
