Generate meaning
1
The revolution will not be televised
2
The revolution is here
3
Yeah, it's Common Sense, with DJ Premier
4
We gonna help y'all see clear
5
It's real hip-hop music, from the soul, y'all
6
Yeah, check it, yo
7
The perseverance of a rebel, I drop heavier levels
8
It's unseen or heard, a king with words
9
Can't knock the hustle, but I've seen street dreams deferred
10
Dark spots in my mind where the scene occurred
11
Some say I'm too deep, I'm in too deep to sleep
12
Through me, Muhammed will forever speak
13
Greet brothers with handshakes in ghetto landscapes
14
Where a man is determined by how much a man make
15
Cop Cognacs and spit old raps with young cats
16
With cigarettes in their ear, niggerish they appear
17
Under the Fubu is a guru, that's untapped
18
Want to be in the rap race but ain't ran one lap
19
Ran so far from the streets that you can't come back
20
You tripping with nowhere to unpack, forgot that
21
This is rap for real, something you feel
22
And you know, yes you know
23
This is rap for real, something you feel
24
And you know, yes you know
25
This is rap for real, something you feel
26
And, this is rap, and, this is rap for real
27
And you know, yes you know
28
This is rap for the black people
29
In front of two-inch glass and Arabs I order fries
30
Inspiration when I write, I see my daughter's eyes
31
I'm the truth, across the table from corporate lies
32
Immortalized by the realness I bring to it
33
If revolution had a movie, I'd be theme music
34
My music, you either fight, fuck, or dream to it
35
My life is one big rhyme, I try to scheme through it
36
Through my shell, never knew what the divine would bring to it
37
I'd be lying if I said, I didn't want millions
38
More than money saved, I wanna save children
39
Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity
40
A complex man drawn off of simplicity
41
Reality is frisking me
42
This industry will make you lose intensity
43
The Common Sense in me remembers the basement
44
I'm Morpheus in this hip-hop Matrix, exposing fake shit
45
And you know, yes you know
46
This is rap for real, something you feel
47
And you know, yes you know
48
This is rap for the black people
49
This is rap
50
This is rap for real
51
And you know, yes you know
52
This is rap for real
53
Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world
54
Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl
55
She recited raps, I forgot where they was from
56
In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum
57
I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected
58
How many dead folks, this art resurrected
59
How many nations, this culture connected
60
Who am I to judge one's perspective?
61
Though some of that shit y'all pop true it, I ain't relating
62
If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating
63
I just want to innovate and stimulate minds
64
Travel the world and penetrate the times
65
Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom
66
Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em
67
For now I appreciate this moment in time
68
Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like
69
And you know, yes you know
70
This is rap for real, something you feel
71
And you know, yes you know
72
This is rap for real, something you feel
73
This is rap
74
This is rap for real
75
And you know, yes you know
76
This is rap for the black people
77
And you know, yes you know
78
This is rap for [Incomprehensible]
79
And you know, yes you know
80
This is rap for real, something you feel
81
This is rap
82
This is rap for real
83
And you know, yes you know
84
This is rap for real, something you feel
85
And you know, oh yeah
86
Yeah
