You will not be able to sit at home
Or even watch this on your phone
You will not be able to get high hide behind the lies and catch this moment later
Because the revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to you by iTunes
Commercial free or on Hulu
The revolution will not show pictures of Bush
Flying in his plane lookin down smilin while Katrina hit and staked her claim
No pictures of Dick or John tellin their lies
No Rush ranting over what makes no sense
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be brought to by the Academy’s or Grammy’s
And will not star Denzel or Halle
The revolution will not give you video hoes without self-worth or purpose
It will not make you rich or rid you of your insecurity
It will not fill you with silicone or false hope
Nor will it smooth down imperfections that make you less perfect
The revolution will not be televised
There will be no pictures of the dead
Floatin in the disasters from faults of man
No radios explaining how all this will begin
No Facebook statuses or Twitter feeds
For this revolution will not be televised for anyone to see
There will be no pictures of kids shooting kids
Or men abusing our precious women
There will be no pictures of the police draggin around the hopeless
Or the Government killin the less fortunate
There will be no pictures of neglect or homelessness
No television set can prepare you for this
This revolution will not be televised
Cause its already here and alive
This revolution is here
Here to make you stand up and take a chance
Here to allow you to choose and say no more
This revolution will make you proud
And bring you the glory that we have all been waitin for
This revolution will make your voice be heard and well known
Now the question is how many of ya’ll will be our next revolutionaries
