2 Live Crew - Ravelation Lyrics
One twoWe don't stopHuh[ VERSE 1 ]A revolution of mass confusion, brothers killin each otherRobbin their mother, father, sister and brotherThey don't wanna get a job, or go to schoolThey think it's cool, but they're playin the foolIt's now 1984, five hundred years laterWe're dominating both sides of the AequatorIn sports, music, and makin loveBut yet we still have trouble rising aboveIt's said that in the later daysPeople shall be movin in different waysThere'll be many false prophets, devils in disguisePerformin illusions before your very eyesSome have eyes to see, and ears to hearBut they cannot utilize them because of fearYou have sell-out brothers who will sell their heartFor fame and fortune or to get a head startBut in the long run they will seeThat they are nothin else but victims of prophecyTime is running short, the world is in damnationRefuse to follow the laws of creationYou can not all be Jesus ChristBut you still can make some sacrificeIf not for anyone for yourselfCause you have nothin to prove to anyone elseWe don't longer have a sheperd now, we're lost sheepHave to open your eyes, you can't afford to sleepAnd a major factor is jealousyWhich stops us from obtainin the unityCome onYou don't stop[ VERSE 2 ]Times are hard, and people are chillinYou can't get a job, but you know you're willinSo you go down to the unemployment lineAnd the man throws you out on your behindThen you find some transportation, and you go back homeAnd find your wife cryin on the telephoneThe police called to say that your job is illShe tried to o.d. on a bottle of pillsNow you're mad as hell, and can't take it no moreSo you grab your gun and walk out the doorYou find another brother and you take their checkAnd deep down inside you know you're riskin your neckHow do you know they don't have a knife?But you have your gun, so then you take their lifeNow your pocket is full, but can't you seeThat your soul will burn in hell for eternity?See, I remember back in Brooklyn, when I was a childActin wild, cause that was the stlyeBut as I grew older, I learned the dealBecause my old lady told me, "Son, be for realYou have a chance to be an architect or scientistSo why do you choose to be like this?"You have to get yourself together before it's too lateIt's up to you to be a bum or someone greatWe all have it in us, and that is whyThey tell us lies to cover our eyesSo we are not able to see the lightAnd differentiate wrong from rightYou see, the road to vanity is filled with flowersYou better be careful of its hypnotic powersWhile the road to truth is long and full if distressBut if you make it through, you're truly the bestCome on
