Revolt Ain't a Revolution (For the People of Haiti and Berkino Faso)
Why are we fightin' each other Tryin' to overthrow our brother Why are we still sayin freedom Still freedom can't com We have to learn things from ancient history To help build a new society We have to remember nkrumah and garvey To build our own economy
Now a revolt ain't a revolution Coup is still not the solution We have to plant some food on the land Agriculture is the key for buildin' a nation
Why are we measurin' progress As determined by the west Why are we still sayin' yes To all their industrial mess We have to understan' the times we are livin' in And remember where we have been We have to remember what happen in slavery So as not to repeat that history
Now a revol ain't a revolution Killin' leaders is not the solution We have to build schools in the community To get rid of illiteracy
Why are we listening to these preachers Who pose as moral teachers Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Why are we still sayin' amen To the very thing that put us in this pen We have to return to ancient philosophy And reveal all of earths mystery We have to live by our own spirituality To determine our own destiny
Now a revolt ain't a revolution Foreign aid is still not the solution We have to understand Afrika for Afrikaans To build a new nation
Why are we discussin' problems With people who refuse to solve them Why are we still beggin' for freedom While lookin' down the barrel of a gun We have to seek shaka Hannibal In these times of aggression And understand what was their mission We have to advance to victory with truth and right Known that right must overcome might
Now a revolt ain't a revolution Buildin' nuclear weapons is not the solution If some thing is not worth diein' for Its not worth livin' for But if it takes war to free us Then is just war.
