[Spoken Intro]
Friends, homies, and countrymen
Lend me your ears
Let me holla at you for a minute
We found ourselves at a unique moment in time
A time to seize upon a golden opportunity
A time for the overthrow
A time to give a voice to those who have lost their voice
To speak for those who have no status in the current status quo
A time for us to make history by simply changing history
It starts here, it starts now
It's the overthrow
[Verse 1]
Now I'm pleased to profess, from the east to the west
That there's something going on that I need to address
Some feelings in my heart that I need to express
And some possible solutions I need to suggest
The world I see is a world of excess
That's enjoyed by a few and in spite of the rest
The words that they speak and the way that they dress
And the rest fall back because we say we're impressed
I see a lot of good people go through stress
Because they won't sell their soul for the gold of success
I know I'm not alone in pointing out this mess
But to get a coalition, you gotta coalesce
Suppose this one goes out to those who oppress
Don't care about your clothes or the roads you possess
To make progress, I gotta let you know
You must bear witness to the overthrow
