Revolution Lyrics

Revolution

Bob Marley [ from 'Time 

Will Tell' documentary]: 

Within 2000 years Christ shall return 

'and when I return I goin' to be king of kings. 


Marley 

Brothers: 

That's rev-, that's 

rev-, that's rev-, that's rev-. 

Krayzie: 

Get up, get up, get up, get 

up, get up, get up, my soldiers, ride. 


Bob Marley: 

Revolution in my heart. Oh, they tearin' us apart. 

We been wastin' so much time. Revolution on my mind. 

Everyday problems 

in the world they maximize. Now tell me how much 

blood must be shed, oh realize things and times get 

drastic--a revolution is 

the only way. Stop 

this internal warfare, yeah. 


Marley 

Brothers: 

That's rev-. That's 

for the revolution. 

Bob Marley: 

Roll in a 

bomb-drop cry. 

Marley 

Brothers: 

That's rev-. That's 

for the revolution. 

Bob Marley: 

Soldiers all 

positions. 


Krayzie: 

I wanna talk about a revolution. Should we talk about 

a revolution, a revolution? Come on, I think it's 

time, it's already 1999. 

This is real--we ready for revolution. We said that 

we tired, we ready tonight, and we gon' ride, ride, 

ride, with the warriors. 

We makin' a push on Babylon the Great, better 

hurry up. We doin' it like that: combat on contact. 

So the police get 

bombed. That gunpowder from my gun got my palms 

black. As we roll and we hit up the rest we chase the 

police--we done 

flipped the script and set a new record. We send 

'em to fire, to flames, we heat and we hot. Cussin' 
 

while they flossin' shots. 

Marchin', double barrels buckin'. Mark the target, 

ain't for talkin'. Squashin' every enemy walkin' and 

bomb 'em. We need to 

suit up in boots, recruit us some troops to start 

mashing. I'm packin' my sawed off and I'm called off, 

I'm called off. 


Bob Marley: 

Revolution on my mind. We been wastin' so much 

time. Revolution in my heart. They been tearin' us 

apart. Everyday 

problems in the world they maximize. And tell me 

how much blood must be shed, oh realize things and 

times get drastic--a 

revolution is the only way. 

Stop this internal warfare, yeah.

Roll in a bomb-drop cry and

Krayzie: 

Get up, get up, get up, get 

up, get up, get up, my soldiers, ride.
