1. Riot, Rebellion,
Revolution!
“Riot, Rebellion, Revolution!”
Let’s start a revolution evolution evolve
Hatred is destruction, we have problems to solve
No matter if you’re back, yellow, brown, or white
Forever we’re together, always unite
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
Listen up cuz I’m the real M.C.
If you’re talkin’ revolution then come to me
When I’m spittin’ my verses, don’t interrupt my flow
We’re revolution for a change, so we gotta overflow
The system is a mess, functioning is surprising
The way to cause change is to start an uprising

2. We’re tired of this pain, what do we gotta gain
Cops against the world killing all the boys and girls
Chaos in the street, city to city, stand up on your feet
Crowd control, cops in riot gear, there’s no stopping us, we have no fear
Enough standin’ by and being quiet, it’s time to stand up and start a riot
Let’s start a revolution evolution evolve
Hatred is destruction, we have problems to solve
No matter if you’re back, yellow, brown, or white
Forever we’re together, always unite
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
Resist the wrong
Shine a light and overcome
Stand up, speak out
Choose your future and open mouths
Look around through the chaos
If you wanna make a difference
Shine a light and show ‘em how
Let’s do this right now
Let’s start a revolution evolution evolve
Hatred is destruction, we have problems to solve
No matter if you’re back, yellow, brown, or white
Forever we’re together, always unite
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
No more excuses
No more blind eyes
It’s time to get up
Stand up and fight
Forever we’re together, always unite
Forever we’re together, always unite
Forever we’re together, always unite
