Tanya Stephens Welcome To The Rebelution
SShhhhhh!!!
If youre readin the booklet,
Or you're listenin to Track 1,
Youre evidence that the Rebolution has began.
You're not a statistic,
No matter how many or few,
In reality, all I need to change this shit is you.
Came to past in the days of glorifying everything wrong,
That the standard for girls became a bra and a thong,
Wholesome values like curling up with a good book and a bong,
Went out the window along with making a good song.
Everybodys got a new image, new management team,
New lawyers negotiating new dreams,
Even if they come true, I still would'nt wanna be ya,
Got everything new except a new idea.
Why do I get the feeling I heard all this before?
I guess its because I've heard all this before,
And Im sure Im gonna hear it some more,
Cuz everbody thinks he's the one who invented being the bore.
If these are the last days then im using my music,
As my Jesus save me from this musical slavery,
When non-believers try to nail my hand to the mic stand,
I get my with the love of my fans.
They've given me so much,
I think its only fair that i stay in touch with the movement,
Every year its a steady imrovement,
Stay grounded and not get caught up with this this illusion,
Cuz that the problem and right now im only into solutions.
So I say to you now, the Rebolution is urgent,
Stand befor you not as queen, but as your humble servant,
fake leaders claim thrones without building kingdoms,
Same as the music business in Kingston.
We need to fight for the future, for our daughters and sons,
Instead you're trippin your brothers, fightin for crumbs,
But we will no be deterred by knives or guns,
Go tell it on the mountain, THE REBOLUTION HAS COME.
Well You can fight it or hide it,
Or seize the moment and ride it,
Instead of fallin divided,
Why dont we stand up united,
Differences put aside it would be easier had if we tried it,
But even if we dont,
CHANGE MUST COME,
CHANGE MUST COME.
If its peace or its violence,
If its talkin or silence,
If you're with me then fight it,
If you're not then sill do,
Cuz no matter what you do,
It will affect you,
CHANGE MUST COME,
CHANGE MUST COME.
Its time to separate the now from the then,
The boys from the men,
Separate the ways of the righteous from the ways of this wicked world,
And definately time to separate the ladies from the girls.
Are you ready for a Rebolution??
I cant hear you,
I said, R U READAY FOR A REBOLUTION???
