Beautiful Nubia and the Roots Renaissance Band — Revolution Time lyrics

Lyrics

Living in a real and true revolution time — fight
the good fight
(Stand firm, stay the course)
Gotta wake up now from deep slumber
Break away the chains that hold us down
True freedom does not come to those who sit and
pray,
Stand up raise your voice and be heard, living
true.
Time to throw away the yoke of slavery
We’ve been used and abused far too long
Even as I speak the exploitation continues
The master takes the gold and we get the pain,
just like before.
Doesn’t matter the colour of his skin
The man in Washington only cares for America
So when you need some help, don’t you go there
for salvation
Gotta learn to depend on ourselves and look
inwards.
Gotta wake up now from deep slumber
Break away the chains that hold us down
Seek ye first the peace of the neighbours all
around you
Make this house of a place of happiness just like
before
