Yo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised </br>But in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gotta sell it by </br>Otherwise it … - Talib Kweli

Hip-Hop's last hope like Obi-Wan Kenobi </br>Through your television I'm shining light like a train </br>Comin out like earthworms when it rains, bringing it </br>like the C.I.A. be bringing in crack cocaine bailing out of planes </br>with the George Bush connections, I push Reflection </br>like I'm selling izm, like a dealer building the system </br>Supply and the demand it's all just capitalism </br>Niggaz don't sell crack cause they like to see blacks smoke </br>Niggaz sell crack cause they broke

Creating crime rates to fill the new prisons they build </br>Over money and religion theres more blood that spills </br>Like the wounds of slaves in cotton fields that never heal </br>Whats the deal?

These cats drink champagne and toast to death and pain, </br>Like slaves on a ship talking about who's got the flyest chain
