Lyrics

Evolution Revolution Love

Now that you got it right
Bring love and it'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right

Who wants the sinner coming 'round for dinner?
Who needs effects, who needs to pay for sex?
When they drop the bomb, who will stay calm?
Blood would spill
Who would you kill?

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution (has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution
Has just begun

Walking on the road with my liquor and gun
Tap on my gun, cock it for fun
Block on ya tongue
Top of my earth, tip of my birth
Top of my death
Tip of my breast, top of my chest
Tip of my guess

I've got the singles
I got the jingles
Bet you eat sprinkles
Walking on the road with my liquor and gun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution (has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution
Has just begun

Stepping on the street with my little rude girl
Tip of my toes, top of my world
Top of my world, tip of my earth
Top of my rock, tip of my block
Now that you got it right
Bring love and I'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonight
Now that you got it right

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic (now that you got it right)
This revolution (has just begun)
Has just begun

She was born in the ghetto outside the Bronx
In the project blocks
Time stands still
It no tick, it no tock

Top of my sun, tip of my lung
Top of my chest, tip of my breast
Top of my earth
Tip of my rock
Walking on the road with my soul in my hand
Tip of my toes, top of my spine

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution (has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution
Has just begun
Just begun
Just begun
Just begun, yeah, yeah

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution (has just begun)
Has just begun (now that you got it right)

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution
