Wu-Revolution (feat. Poppa Wu and Uncle Pete) Lyrics


These things just took over me
Just took over my whole body
So I can't even see no more
I'm calling my black woman a bitch
I'm calling my peoples all kinds of thing that they not
I'm lost brother, can you help me?
Can you help me brother, please?You see what we did, we lost the love
I'm talking 'bout the love, the love of your own
But brother, but brother, but brother, check this out
I still don't understand, man, I'm all high off this shit, manWell, what I'm trying to say my brother
Why, why do we kill each other?
Look at our children, what kind of a future?
This is the training that's gonna be given to you
By the Wu, brothers and sisters, the revolution, the revolution
It's time to rise and take our place
Will be televised, televised, so we can inherit the universe
The planet earth belongs to God, this is ninety, ninety, ninety-sevenEvery square inch of it that he chose for himself is the best part
Yeah, the revolution should be, televised

By every strong woman to the highest power
You'll find a strong man and by every strong man
You'll find a strong woman, won't you agree?
The universe is not completed without the sun, moon, and stars
Won't you be for real? That's man, woman, and child
To the highest power, to all you fake ass niggasWho think you gonna survive out here
Without your black woman, you're wrong
They have attraction powers on the planet, I wanna be free
We are original man, the Asiatic black man
The maker, the Arthur, the cream of the planet earth
Wanna be free, yeah
Father of civilization and daughter of the universe
Want to be free, oh yeahThe population was seventeen men with the two man Indians
Making a total of nineteen men for all
Being, for all men, all over the planet earth
Magneta, magneta, magneta, Wu revolution king, yeah
Arise you God's 'cuz the time for the revolutional war
That's the mental war
Malcolm X, Malcolm X, Malcolm X
That's the battle between God and devil, gonna be freeTake the devil off your plane, take him off your mental mentality
Take him off your brain, make a change from my mind
Leave all the cigarettes and guns, the alcohol and everything
That's the mental devil that exists within your body
Take this pain that's destroying and decaying your mind
Take these chains off my mind, the mind controls the body
Everything within must come out, want to be free
Don't look towards the sky 'cuz there's no heaven aboveDon't look down beneath your feet, there's no hell below
Want to be free but heaven and hell exist within
Heaven is what you make it and hell is what you're going through
There is only one God, there is a whole new one, faith
There is a holy one world, revolution, yeah
At one time it was told to me, yeah
That man came from monkeys, ha ha ha
That we were swingin' from treesI hardly can believe that unless I'm dumb deaf and blind
Save the children, you ever heard about, the ape man?
Gonna be free and the ape woman?
Hey, want to be free
You have a mankind, that has a beginning to him
And his ending is about to come, ooh, yeah
If you take one step I will take one with you
Through the stormy vein swim the deepest sea, with you my brotherI know, you got to be strong, gotta hold on
Now the story is about to close, it was a hundred percent of us
Save the children that came on the slave ships
Eighty five percent of our people, they're our future
Was uncivilized, poison animal eaters
They're slaves of the mental powers, save the children
They don't know who the true and living God is
And all the orchards in the world, save the childrenSo they worship what they know not
And they're easily lead in the wrong direction
And hard to be lead in the right
And now you got the ten percent
Who are rich slave makers of the poor
Who teach the poor lies that make the people believe
That the all mighty true and living God is a spook in the sky
Save the children and you can't see him with the physical eyes
They're also known as blood suckers of the poorSave the children and then you got the five percent
Who are the poor righteous teachers
Who do not believe in the teachings of the ten percent
Save the children
Who is all wise and know who the true and living God is
And teach that the true and living God is
Supreme being black man from Asian
Otherwise known as civilized people
Also Muslims, and Muslims sons, peace we outI have given it much thought
It seems, disaster must come
At best, only postponed, Shaolin Kung-Fu
To survive must now be taught, to more young men
We must expand, get more pupils
So that the knowledge will spread

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wu-Tang Clan is a New York City rap group with individuals hailing from Staten Island, Brooklyn and Bronx. They have gone on to become multi-platinum record producers, Grammy winners, TV and film stars, screenwriters, product spokespersons, business owners and, most recently, major motion picture composers. The Clan featured nine MCs until the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004. One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan shot to fame through their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. Since their debut, they have introduced or launched the careers of numerous other artists and groups, and already in 1994 there were credited to be over 300 Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, consisting of rappers, producers, and record label CEOs.

The founders of the Wu-Tang Clan were RZA, GZA/Genius, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, who had previously formed the group Force of the Imperial Master (later known as All In Together Now after the release of a popular single by that name). The group attracted the attention of some notable figures in the industry, including Biz Markie, but did not manage to secure a record deal. After the crew dissolved, GZA/Genius and RZA (then known as Prince Rakeem) embarked on their solo careers with Cold Chillin' Records and Tommy Boy Records respectively, but to little success. Their frustration with the workings of the hip hop music industry would provide the main inspiration to Wu-Tang Clan's revolutionary business plan. According to The Wu-Tang Manual, at the group's inception, RZA promised the members that if he had total control of the Wu-Tang empire, it would conquer the hip hop world within a dynastic cycle, after which he would relinquish his total control.

Wu-Tang Clan was gradually assembled in late 1992 from friends and accomplices from around Staten Island, New York, with RZA as the de-facto leader and the group's producer. Two of the cousins, GZA/Genius (pronounced Jizza) and RZA (pronounced Rizza), created their new Wu-Tang aliases by mimicking the sound that the words "genius" and "razor" would make when scratched on a turntable.

"Wu-Tang" comes from the name of the Taoist holy mountain Wu Dang in northwest Hubei Province in central China; it was also the site of the Ming Dynasty Purple Imperial City built during the reign of the Yongle Emperor in the early 15th century. RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after seeing the Kung fu film Shaolin and Wu Tang, which features a school of warriors trained in Wu-Tang style. The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections and using dialogue excerpts as skits.

The group have also developed various backronyms for the name (as hip hop pioneers like KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane did with their names), including "We Usually Take All the Niggas' Garments," "Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game" and "Wisdom, Universe, Truth, Allah, Nation, and God".

Method Man has also mentioned that the "Wu" is the sound a sword makes when cutting through the air, and "Tang" is the sound it makes against a shield.

The Clan first became known to hip hop fans, and to major record labels, in 1993 (see 1993 in music) following the release of the independent single "Protect Ya Neck", which immediately gave the group a sizeable underground following. Though there was some difficulty in finding a record label that would sign Wu-Tang Clan while still allowing each member to record solo albums with other labels, Loud/RCA finally agreed, releasing their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in late 1993. This album was popular and critically-acclaimed, though it took some time to gain momentum. Though hip hop had long had a gritty texture, the surreal aggression and minimalist production of 36 Chambers nevertheless had a huge impact on the genre, and was to prove massively influential over the next decade. By the beginning of the 21st century, the album had become a regular fixture on "Best Albums Of The 90s" lists as well as a frequent choice for "Best Albums Of All Time" lists. The success of Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers established the group as a creative and influential force in early 1990s hip hop, allowing GZA/Genius, RZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa to negotiate solo contracts.
The son of Old Dirty Bastard with the name Young Dirty Bastard is slated to release an upcoming album in 2011. He will be the first new artist under the Wu banner and the album will be called "Food Stamp Celebrity".
