Listen up get ready, i'm not gonna
Take no more
There's a revolution, a revelation
Going on in my soul
Buckle up, get ready, we're not
Gonna sit back and wait
And allow ourselves, and each other
To lose control of our fate
There'll be no sacrifice, no more tears
No more pain, no more fears
I'm gonna make my move
Get out of my way
'cause we've been waitin' way too long
We don't weep, we don't moan
We've got a mind, of our own
That's right, we can't go wrong
If we, stand up and be strong
Get up everybody, get off your ass
We gotta do something, and we got
To do it fast
Cause the people are hungry, starvin'
And the fuel is low
Don't wait for jesus, he ain't comin' back no mo'
We gotta sacrifice, have no fear
Shed no blood, shed no tears
We've gotta make our move, get out of our way
'cause we've been waiting way too long
We don't weep, we don't moan
We've got a mind, of our own
That's right, we can't go wrong
If we, stand up and be strong
