So,
U wanna be a Revolutionary?
First Brother..TAKE OFF THEM FRUIT OF THE LOOMS!
Don't U know our people picked cotton
For 400 years?!?
Buy some silk pee catchers and then
Put in your application
So,
U wanna be a Revolutionary?
Cash in Ur 401k
And use the money 2 purchase some AK's
Oh, and sell the Lex
The Rolex
Have no regrets
Becuz U will be a target
Not shopping at Target
Or Wall-Mart
I hope Ur lady can sew
And U have enuough land 2 grow
Ur own produce
A Revolutionary has no use
For government approved
Clothes, fruits, vegetables, meats, water, or milk
While U at it
Buy a cow
Go on the Internet and learn how
2 milk
By the way
Did U buy those silk underwear yet?
So,
U wanna be a Revolutionary?
Don't demand justice
If U talk the Christian game
WALK like Jesus
Let's do the Jesus Checklist
No, no I insist!
Knowlegable in his ancestral history?
Check
Questioned and probed accepted truths
Even as a 12 yr old youth?
Check
Walked away from the family business
To persue a higher learning and consciousness
While delving into other cultures?
Check
Sought the blessings of John the Baptist
(An original O.G.R.- Original Gangsta Revolutionary)
Upon returning to his(Jesus) native land?
Check
Taught(to the dismay of the local government)
That what once was exclusive(Judaism)
Must, 4 ultimate victory, become INCLUSIVE?
Gentiles (non believers)
Line up single file!
Check
Assembled the Posse (oh, my bad)
The Apostles and selected them
Based on their specific fields of expertise?
Memo
To those who don't know
Judas,remember him, was known
By his title..ISCARIOT
Ain't too many last names in the Bible
(Ex..Jesus the Christ)
And if memory serves ISCARIOT
Translates into DAGGER or knife
Which means Judas was a...
How do I say this politely..
A DUDE WHO SMOKED PEOPLE 4 A LIVING!!
Oh yeah,
And find a dedicated group of women
To assist in the financing of your organization
Remember what I said about Biblical Titles?
Mary MAGDALENE
The femme the Bible makes out to be a..%#&@$!
Was a magdala..or hairdrersser
One of the few women to own and operate
Her own business
Hey, how do U think she could afford to pour
Expensive perfume on Jesus's feet?
And talk about courage!
Who was there when he died dog?
THE WOMEN!
Check
So,
You wanna be a Revolutionary?
Rage against the Machine
Create a disturbance to get yourself noticed
By the federales (the Romans)
After all, there were a lot of cats PREACHING
The end of time game
BUT my man Jesus was TEACHING
The keys to aquiring the Kingdom of Heaven
Memo..in the time of Christ the Kingdom
Was meant to define a JEWISH state FREE
Of Roman occupation
Kind of like By the People
FOR THE PEOPLE
Check
So,
U wanna be a Revolutionary?
Martyrdom is NOT required BUT..
Hey what whould Jesus Do?
Die for the cause right?
Die for the will of God right?
Die so his people could be free right?
Check
So, U wanna be a Revolutionary?
Sell 6 million..lemme repeat that
SELL 6 MILLION BOOKS
Like Sir Sam Greenlee
Author of The spook Who Sat by the Door
And be prepared to be broke and harrassed
With only your pride and self esteem to keep U going
Quick math..6 MILLION X !0 bucks a pop
DAYUM!
60 MILL!
That's LeBron type Skittles!
And, you WON'T enjoy a penny of it
So,
U wanna be. Revolutionary?
NEE-GRO PLEEZE!
U ain't even get rid of them cotton pee catchers yet!
