Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
When they drop the bomb
Who will stay calm
Blood will spill
Who would you kill
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 has just begun
Walking down the road with my little rude gun
Top of 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 like the singles
I got the jingles
Bet you ate Springles
Walking on your road with my little rude gun
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 has just begun
Stepping on the street with my little rude girl
Tip of my toes
Top of my world
Top of my world
Top 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
This revolution has just begun
She was born in the ghetto outside the Bronx
In the project blocks
Where time stands still
It don't tick, it don't tock
Top of my sun
Tip of my land
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 span
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 has
Just begun, just begun, just begun, just begun
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 has
Just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mic
This revolution has
Just begun
The lyrics of Ed-ward's song "Evolution" can be interpreted as a call to action for change and revolution. The first verse suggests that now that someone has figured something out or come to a realization, love is needed to make things right. Love is seen as a powerful force that can bring about positive change.
The following lines delve into societal issues and the consequences of certain actions. It questions the need for sinners or immoral individuals to be accepted or welcomed. It also questions the use of artificial means, such as effects or paying for sex, when true connection and honesty should be valued instead. The mention of a bomb being dropped and the question of who would stay calm highlights the idea of chaos and destruction in the world. It makes us reflect on our willingness to cause harm and the potential consequences.
The second verse introduces the persona as someone walking down the road armed with a "rude gun." This can be seen as a metaphor for being bold and unafraid in facing challenges or fighting for what is right. The lines that follow seem to emphasize a sense of empowerment and confidence. The mention of "springles" suggests indulgence and pleasure in the persona's life.
The third verse introduces a "rude girl" who was born in the ghetto, emphasizing a sense of struggle and hardship. The persona describes themselves as walking on the road with their soul in their hand, which could imply vulnerability or being open to change. This section highlights the experiences and challenges faced by individuals living in difficult circumstances.
Overall, the song is conveying a message of understanding and empowerment. It serves as a call for individuals to take action, speak up, and bring about change in their own lives and society as a whole. The repetition of "Now that I understand this right, let me take it to the mic" emphasizes the importance of using one's voice and platform to initiate the revolution. It encourages listeners to be aware of their surroundings, question societal norms, and actively contribute to building a better world.
