lyrics

They say the revolution won't be televised
I say it will be acted out in our daily lives
So I make love as a strategy of war
Pour my heart into my people
Raise my children as building block of a nation
Instead of the first swig of liquor as a ghetto libation
I build the future as a monument to the ancestors
Do what i can to help my brothers and sisters
Cause love will fuel the Revolution
To educate and enlighten, is to adopt the best tactics fighting our oppressor
you apply pressure to the system every time you
Hug you mother
Kiss you lover
Dap up you brother
And Communicate sincere love to one another
Cause love is the breaking of chains
the healing of pain
The knocking of the cycle of willie lynch off it's axis
Black love is the best course of action in the war on the black mind
Cause black on black crime plays into the hands of the enemy
so instead of hate i send out positive energy
And let love fuel the revolution
Cause love will fuel the revolution
I'm a warrior
The Vanguard of my village
And if i have to spill blood to protect it I will
But i won't be because hatred has tainted my soul
oh no. it will be because my people are my gold
My treasure and i'll never allow it to be plundered
Spiritual Rich
I'm high off the people
Using good to overcome evil
By any means necessary, legal or illegal
Cause black love is contraband in a system that prospers from black death
A system that took us from Pyramids to projects
Replaced the plantation with the prison industrial complex
So i guess black love is a threat to the economy
And financial analyst use black harmony or disharmony as barometer
To forecast profit margins
My goal is to crash the market
To bankrupt the institution
And let love fuel the Revolution
Let Love Fuel the Revolution
Let Love Fuel the Revolution
Let Love Fuel the Revolution

One Love
