[Chorus: KXNG Crooked]
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
When the revolution come
[Verse 1: KXNG Crooked]
A cop told me for a nigga like you
Nothing better than a jail
Then it made sense
Cause his idea of heaven is my hell
And fuck a politician
Cause the devil is the president as well
That's when these bars start marching through my dreams
Like Martin Luther King writing letters from his cell
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Welcome to the gutter
Where peanut butter jelly is a feast
And all we ever had was each other
I told you Machiavelli was a priest
He told me keep my head up
I listened to his sermons every day
I meditate on everything he preach
So when I get fed up
It'll send a nigga into peace
Till you bury me a G up in the streets
Let me continue
Let me just talk to the rebel within you
If the government pay for every inmate
And the judge own a stake in the penitentiary
Where the hell he gon' send you
Guilty or not, I just wanna build me a spot
Far from the drama for my family and my mamma
If I stay here Imma kill me a cop
[Chorus: KXNG Crooked]
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
When the revolution come
[Verse 2: Jai]
Rambunctious reckless rebels reverse and revenge
Reminded revelations recycle to reveal a tragic end
Erase empathy
Emotionless energy enslaved
Entitled envious enemies ready to engage
Vigilant violence and furnace filled volumes
Vaccinated visionaries vocal your visions at various volumes
Offend the offenders, oppressors and objectors
Open minds, outsource, outstand, outshine, outlast
They're outlandish at first
Lingering lobbyists listing logistics
Levitating laws, limiting living
Laugh long, lough loud
Lucifer is listening
Unaware, undecided, unwavering, united
[Interlude: KXNG Crooked]
When the revolution comes
[Verse 3: KXNG Crooked]
They let you get a little money
Now you can afford to buy new shit
Then you turned on us
That's how the empire do shit
Gave you a little coin
Now you selling your soul 'cause you ain't wanna lose it
When they tired of your ass
They gon' take that fake upper class pass
And show you where the noose is
Haha know I'm loving it
Another traitor double-crossed by the government
The original reptile
You a stepchild, you could never be one of them
Psych
Another bites the dust
That's the price of trust
It cost you twice as much
Now who gon' ride the bus to come fight with us
[Chrous: KXNG Crooked]
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
When the revolution come
What side will you be on
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
I'm on that wave, I'm on that wave
When the revolution come
