From the recording Revolution Essentials
Lyrics
Beware of the snakes in your garden.
The white man killed Malcolm and Hampton.
Then he left you with the pretenders.
Black excellence is not Black liberation.
Don’t trade your roots, your name, your rhythm —
All just to sit at a table
War is the only way to restore
Human rights for all.
They hid the truth — but now we know.
No more illusions, no more compromise.
Fuck what they say — we can see with our own eyes.
They wear kentes and kneel, yet the black man die.
When will you realize
They’ve been paid to pacify
War is the only way to restore
Human rights for all.
They hid the truth — but now we know.
War — every people must rise.
Flood the streets, burn the lies.
Drag all the monsters from their thrones
We gotta stand for ourselves.
The rich will always chase more wealth.
No more begging the man —
It’s time we drag him to hell.
We gotta stand for ourselves.
The rich will always chase more wealth.
No more begging the man —
It’s time we drag him to hell.
War is the only way to restore
Human rights for all.
They hid the truth — but now we know.
War — everybody rise.
Flood the streets, burn the lies.
Drag all the monsters from their thrones —
War is the only way to restore
Human rights for all.
They hid the truth — but now we know.
War — everybody must rise.
Flood the streets, burn the lies.
Drag all the monsters from their thrones —
