Testo Revelation - The 2 Live Crew
Testo della canzone Revelation (The 2 Live Crew), tratta dall'album The Original 2 Live Crew
One, two
You don't stop
Huh!
A revolution of mass confusion, brothers killing each other
Robbing their mother, father, sister and brother
They don't wanna get a job or go to school
They think it's cool but they're playing the fool
It's now 1984, five hundred years later
We're dominating both sides of the equator
In sports, music and making love
But yet we still have trouble rising above
It's said that in the later days
People shall be moving in different ways
There'll be many false prophets, devils in disguise
Performing illusions before your very eyes
Some have eyes to see and ears to hear
But they cannot utilize them because of fear
You have sellout brothers who will sell their heart
For fame and fortune or to get a head start
But in the long run, they will see
That they are nothing else but victims of prophecy
Time is running short, the world is in damnation
Refuse to follow the laws of creation
We cannot all be Jesus Christ
But we still can make some sacrifice
If not for anyone, for yourself
'Cause you have nothing to prove to anyone else
We no longer have a shepherd, now we're lost sheep
Have to open your eyes, you can't afford to sleep
And the major factor is jealousy
Which stops us from obtaining their unity
Come on!
Ah, huh!
You don't stop
Times are hard and people are chilling
You can't get a job but you know you're willing
So you go down to the unemployment line
And the man throws you out on your behind
Then you find some transportation and you go back home
And find your wife crying on the telephone
The police called to say that your child is ill
He tried to OD on a bottle of pills
Now you're mad as hell and can't take it no more
So you grab your gun and walk out the door
You find another brother and you take their check
And deep down inside, you know you're risking your neck
How do you know they don't have a knife?
But you have your gun so then you take their life
Now your pocket is full but can't you see
That your soul will burn in hell for eternity?
See, I remember back in Brooklyn when I was a child
Acting wild 'cause that was the style
But as I grew older, I learned the deal
Because my old lady told me, "Son, be for real
You have a chance to be an architect or scientist
So why do you choose to be like this?
You have to get yourself together before it's too late
It's up to you to be a bum or someone great"
Huh, we all have it in us and that is why, check it out
They tell us lies to cover our eyes
So we are not able to see the light
And differentiate wrong from right
You see, the road to vanity is filled with flowers
You better be careful of its hypnotic powers
While the road to truth is long and full of distress
But if you make it through, you're truly the best
Come on!
