Activist in the trench so many try to blick
Can't afford hospital bills leaving us sick
Speak out getting beaten all over again
Make a stand tortured and killed again,
Stuck in this never ending rendition
Many act militant under any condition
But fall back against any opposition
America an Belarus will it ever get fixed

The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life

Life's concrete in sprawling steel trees
Cracks in this asphalt always bleed
Rocks crumbling communities to sleep
It's a stones throw away from the elites,
From glass houses crushing our speech
Dialects restricted by steel toes in streets
Don't swallow your words if it costs teeth
Ask why they never want you to speak,
They'd rather see us kill all as we bleed
It's bipolar reality with this personality
Don't rush to dirt just to plant seeds
It's better ways to check trees & see green,
Don't ask for help just to build a monopoly
Life ain't a game calculate carefully
Diaspora in this beat is life's morality
Don't question the method enjoy mortality

The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life

Gotta code switch be taken seriously
The people like me who speak? Not many
Beat down KGB badges always grow
Murdering our language I'll make it flow,
Why's our language limited to home
I swear growing up time moved so slow
Now I'm speeding just so love will show
Gotta be quick to succeed on this road,
Don't be too fast cracking open a coke
If you wanna bag success just to blow
Package success with an actual goal
Your image is pictured if you ever show,
Televised because prison is your host
Some try to get close for some toasts
Others shake hands you're their hope
End of the day none will save or cope

The revolution ain't televised
This society's on a wild ride
Dictators demand an cops comply
Choking people strangling life

Trying to X leaders for waking the sleep
Martin to Catholics inspire infallibility
They murder for making truth seen
Why you think truth won't set scenes,
They'd rather choke others life for green
The only color here that reigns supreme
Privledge to dead presidents is nobility
That's why WASP call it blood money,
Inherit off sweat from others deeds
Why have equality truth's in equity
Claim to stand for anothers dreams
All while a heel restricts will to breathe,
Issue is I can't see in society
Blind to others plastic mentality
Soulless dreams you chase the greed
American dream exists to stifle needs
