Revolution by Lowkey
Revolution Lyrics
- Little man never did exams
- Got a particular bigger plan flipping grams
- When a bigger man in his gang gave him a stick to bang
- Or maybe just hold 'cos no one thought he would kill a man
- Till he caught a silly billy feelin & chilling in the jam
- Sipping cham', spliff in his hand checking to the jam
- Bang bang biddy bang biddy biddy bang
- Now he's in the can thinking damn what a pity fam
- Rappers are yapping and flapping their lips
- Bout how they're packing and clapping their sticks
- Has to be big
- The impact it has on the kids, tells me where the factory is
- The government kill, they're just stacking their chips
- You wonder why the youths are strapped and their pissed
- If not a nine, it's a knife getting jabbed in your ribs
- People die for the petrol, the gas and the whip
- In London, you can get shanked in the heart
- Still the government put more tanks in Iraq
- Ignorant little spitters are talking greezy
- Cos they bitten bits that the saw on TV
- If all you rap about is the hoes and the doe
- It's already too late, you sold 'em your soul
- You jokers act like you know but you don't
- Cos there's little kids dying all over the globe
- They used to put my lights out and nights out
- And days in spent blazing
- And tell me to not be gaining the mazes
- But why now it's right out amazing to think
- Now let the revolutionaries sing
- Stand up for your rights and fight for revolution
- Free your mind and so ignite constitution
- Cos they're killing us all...
- Little man never did exams
- He be chillin with his fam in a flat
- Spliff in hand and spittin raps
- But there's more than one way to skin a cat
- Gotta make up for the things he didn't have
- Wanna be a dan
- Little mans gott bigger plans
- Wanna be bigger than jigga and killer cam
- Picture that while hes sittin back sippin out a guinness can
- Feelin trapped
- Done with the chitter chat!
- Little man didn't crack for a bit of cash
- Got his shit all splashed
- Billin stack
- Livin isnt bad
- Untill a cat got in his flat
- And hit him with a bat
- And they found where he hid his stash
- Little man fouled it
- Get him back
- Now really mad
- Feelin militant put on his timberlands and headed to the flat
- Where the cats that had jacked him were chillin at
- Bowl full of gas in his gaff
- And lit a match
- Put it in a bad
- And away it goes BANG!
- But the cat's whole family was in the flat
- Now its definately different for little man
- He could of been one in a million he could've had the whole world in his hands
- But shit hit the fan
- When the cat came back
- With his strap
- Pulled the trigger back
- Finished little man in a flash
- Its a FACT!
- That he's dead now....
- They used to put my lights out and nights out
- And days in spent blazing
- And tell me to not be gaining the mazes
- But why now it's right out amazing to think
- Now let the revolutionaries sing
- Stand up for your rights and fight for revolution
- Free your mind so we can prise constitution
- Cos they're killing us all...
