When the Revolution Comes - The Last Poets[00:00:00]

Written by：Abiodun Oyewole[00:00:01]

When the revolution comes[00:00:01]

When the revolution comes[00:00:03]

When the revolution comes[00:00:05]

When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV[00:00:07]

with chicken hanging from our mouths you'll know its revolution[00:00:10]

Cause there won't be no commercials[00:00:14]

When the revolution comes[00:00:16]

When the revolution comes[00:00:18]

When the revolution comes[00:00:19]

Preacher pimps are gonna split the scene with[00:00:21]

The communion wine stuck in their back pockets[00:00:22]

Faggots won't be so funny then and all the junkies will quit[00:00:25]

Their nodding and wake up when the revolution comes[00:00:28]

When the revolution comes[00:00:31]

Transit cops will be crushed by the trains after losing their guns[00:00:32]

And blood will run through the streets of Harlem drowning anything without substance[00:00:36]

When the revolution comes[00:00:40]

When the revolution comes[00:00:42]

When the revolution comes[00:00:43]

When the revolution comes[00:00:45]

Our pearly white teeth froth the mouths that speak of revolution without reverence[00:00:46]

The cost of revolution is 360 degrees understand the cycle that never ends[00:00:50]

Understand the beginning to be the end and nothing is in between but space and[00:00:55]

Time that I make or you make to relate or not to[00:00:59]

Relate to the world outside[00:01:03]

My mind your mind speak not of revolution[00:01:04]

Until you are willing to eat rats to survive[00:01:07]

When the revolution comes[00:01:10]

When the revolution comes[00:01:13]

When the revolution comes guns and rifles will be taking the place of poems[00:01:15]

And essays black cultural centers will forts supplying the revolutionaries[00:01:18]

With food and arms when the revolution comes[00:01:23]

When the revolution comes[00:01:26]

White death will froth the walls of museums and churches breaking the lies[00:01:27]

That enslaved our mothers when the revolution comes[00:01:31]

When the revolution comes[00:01:34]

Jesus Christ is gonna be standing on the corner of[00:01:35]

Lennox ave and 125th st[00:01:37]

Trying to catch the first gypsy cab out of Harlem when the revolution comes[00:01:39]

When the revolution comes[00:01:44]

Jew merchants will give away motzah balls and gifilte fish to anyone[00:01:46]

They see with afros Frank Shieffin will give away the Apollo to[00:01:49]

The first person he sees wearing a blue dashiki[00:01:52]

When the revolution comes[00:01:55]

When the revolution comes afros gone be trying to straighten their heads[00:01:57]

And straightened heads gone be trying to wear afros[00:02:00]

When the revolution comes[00:02:03]

When the revolution comes[00:02:04]

When the revolution comes[00:02:06]

When the revolution comes[00:02:07]

But until then you know and I know niggers will party and bullsh*t[00:02:08]

And party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party and bullsh*t and party[00:02:13]

Some might even die before the revolution comes[00:02:22]
