We live in a state
of constitutional prostitution
It's moral pollution
with no absolution
The only resolution is revolution
We need a revolution
to combat the political illusions
No weapons of Mass Destruction
but weapons of Mass Distraction
and weapons of Mass Confusion
Ironically it's amusing
Bush its time for a political blood transfusion
We need a resolution
We need a revolution
But I want my idea
to live longer than Aaliyah
Unlike Dr. Martin Luther King
I want to live to see the reality of my dream
Fuck equal
I want to see blacks treated like Kings
and Queens
turn this urban nightmare
into an utopian dream
We need a resolution
We need a revolution
But we have to be conscious
of the mental manipulations
that continue to seize us
We collectively live
in the United States of Amnesia
We forget about the group lynching
multiple rapes
and abductions
multiple rapes
abductions
and group lynching
We forget about that
A southern white judge
wanted to be a nigga for Halloween
So he painted his face black
with black face
Blacks face blatant racism
coupled with deep rooted corruption
We forget about the secret deals
between political parties to abandon Reconstruction
and the further African American demoralization and destruction
We need a resolution
We need a revolution
We don't remember because we learn our past
through a racially bias looking glass
We only have one month dedicated to our history
The fact that it's the shortest month of the year is no mystery
and typically the most bitter and cold
All symbolic of a hatred that's hundreds of years old
We need a resolution
We need a revolution
But, see me, I haven't forgotten
how my people were humiliated and down-trodden
I can imagine my ancestors being whipped
until blood ran from their eyes
while others gagged on the foul taste
of swallowed pride
Like the first of February
after a hell of a January
It's cold outside
and it's a war going on outside
This was another attempt to open ya'll eyes
Resolution or Revolution
Perhaps the only Resolution is Revolution
