AlpineK Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 I like this so I thought I'd paste the whole thing  The revolution will no be televised You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised.  The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions. The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.  The revolution will not be televised. The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia. The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal. The revolution will not get rid of the nubs. The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.  There will be no pictures of you and Willie May pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 or report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised.  There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers in the instant replay. There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process. There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion.  Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised.  There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth. The revolution will not be televised.  The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.  The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 your revolution will not happen between these thighs your revolution will not happen between these thighs  the real revolution ain't about booty size the Versaces you buys or the Lexus you drives  and though we've lost Biggie Smalls your Notorious revolution will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche in my bush  your revolution will not be you killing me softly with Fugees your revolution ain't gon' knock me up without no ring and produce little future MCs because that revolution will not happen between these thighs  your revolution will not find me in the backseat of a Jeep with LL hard as hell ya know, doin' it & doin' it & doin' it well ya know, doin' it & doin' it & doin' it well  your revolution will not be you smackin' it up, flippin' it, or rubbin' it down nor will it take you downtown or humpin' around because that revolution will not happen between these thighs  your revolution will not have me singin' ain't no * like the one I got your revolution will not be you sending me for no drip drip VD shot  your revolution will not involve me feeling your nature rise or helping you fantasize because that revolution will not happen between these thighs and no, my Jamaican brother, your revolution will not make you feel boombastic and really fantastic have you groping in the dark for that rubber wrapped in plastic  you will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of french vanilla butter pecan chocolate deluxe or having Akinyele's dream a six-foot blowjob machine  you wanna subjugate your queen; think I'ma put it in my mouth just 'cause you made a few bucks please brotha please!  your revolution will not be me tossing my weave making believe I'm some caviar-eating, ghetto mafia clown or me givin' up my behind just so I can get signed or maybe have somebody else write my rhymes? I'm Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown  your revolution makes me wonder, where could we go if we could drop the empty pursuit of props and the ego we'd revolt back to our Roots, use a little Common Sense, on a Quest to make love De La Soul, no pretense...but  your revolution will not be you flexing your little sex and status to express what you feel; your revolution will not happen between these thighs will not happen between these thighs will not be you shaking and me faking between these thighs because the revolution, that's right, I say the real revolution, you know the real revolution, when it finally comes, it's gon' be real Quote
olyclimber Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 We shall overcome, we shall overcome, We shall overcome some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day  We shall all be free, we shall all be free, We shall all be free some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day  We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace, We shall live in peace some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day   Quote
Dechristo Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 The revolution will not be televised You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised. Â I was glad to see this and AlpineK's post of the complete lyrics; I was thinking of this tune by Gil Scot-Heron not long after this thread was started. Â If more people heard this dude's music, he'd have a whole new audience. "Winter In America" has such a fine, soulful groove...mmmmmmm. Â Being slightly anebriated, my appreciation is fueled in part by sentimentalism. Quote
G-spotter Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 When the revolution comes When the revolution comes When the revolution comes some of us will probably catch it on TV with chicken hanging from our mouths You’ll know its revolution cause there won’t be no commercials  When the revolution comes When the revolution comes Preacher pimps are gonna split the scene with the communion wine stuck in their back pockets Fagots wont be so funny then and all the junkies will quit their noddin and wake up when the revolution comes  When the revolution comes Transit cops will be crushed by the trains after losing their guns and blood will run through the streets of Harlem drowning anything without substance when the revolution comes  When the revolution comes When the revolution comes Our pearly white teeth froth the mouths that speak of revolution without reverence The cost of revolution is 360 degrees understand the cycle that never ends Understand the beginning to be the end and nothing is in between but space and time that I make or you make to relate or not to relate to the world outside my mind your mind Speak not of revolution until you are ready to eat rats to survive  When the revolution comes When the revolution comes When the revolution comes guns and rifles will be taking the place of poems and essays. Black cultural centers will be forts supplying the revolutionaries with food and arms when the revolution comes  When the revolution comes White death will froth the walls of museums and churches breaking the lies that enslaved our mothers when the revolution comes  When the revolution comes Jesus Christ is gonna be standing on the corner of Lenox Ave and 125th St trying to catch the first gypsy cab out of Harlem when the revolution comes When the revolution comes Jew merchants will give away matza balls and gifilta fish to anyone they see with afros Frank Shieffin will give away the Apollo to the first person he sees wearing a blue dashiki when the revolution comes  When the revolution comes afros gone be trying to straighten their heads and straighten heads gone be tryin to wear afros  When the revolution comes When the revolution comes When the revolution comes But until then you know and I know that niggers will party and bullshit and party and bullshit and party and bullshit and party and bullshit and party…  Some might even die before the revolution comes.

AlpineK Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Maybe I'd have to hear the song Dru, but that's no Gil Scott Heron. Quote
