Lyrics

I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired of struggalin dog
I'm tired of struggalin dog

The system ain't gonna change
Unless we make it change

The white is the rock house
Uncle sam is the motha fuckin' pusher man
What I gotta do to make sure ya understand?
Spinnin' on the beat-box timbaland
What I gotta do?
Kidnap aaliyah
Take her melody?
Make it relevant? hold a harmony hostage
To these people, army verses
That's the arms in the churches
Bombs in the purses
Just when you think it's calm on the surface
We bomb on the first
Uncle tom get nervous and reverse
Revolutionary curse words
First come, first served
It ain't no loss, though
Freedom cost blood
That's the word to the mouth bird, nigga

We need a revolution
We need a revolution
The system ain't gonna change unless we make it change
(X2)

(Black power) we need a revolution, (army g's)
We need a revolution, (army g's)
The system ain't gonna change (army g's) unless we make it change. (nigga this that army g's)
(X2)

Gotta a cure for aids and cancer
Wanna know come follow me now?
Diabetes and citracelli and mad cow wanna know how?
I can stop these cops from killin'
I can feed these hungry children
I can stop racism, a product of cap-it-a-lism
I can unpack the prisons
And turn religion back to we livin'
I can stop the bloods from pillin'
Caps
And the crypts from pillin'
Back
And get yo' cousin off crack
I can stop the war
That's in the black hood
Send the money right back to the po' fo' sho an'
If you with me nigga, let me know
Let's go, if ya really wanna know
(I wanna know.)
(We need a revolution)
Mutha fuck they constitution

Army g's off in this think
They hip to the game
Gettin' off the chains

The system ain't gonna change
Unless we make it change

You are now listening to wibg
The people's radio
