Final Call
Kenny Dope Raheem DeVaughn Rhymefest Lyrics

The revolution will be televised... televised... televised
The revolution will be broadcasted everywhere and will not be ignored.

I remember Marvin Gaye use to sang to me, had me feeling like black was the thang to be.
Marvin Gaye's music inspired a feeling of black pride.

Now if you know like I know, then turn this up on your radio.
If you understand the message, play this on your radio.

Don't turn me down man keep me up
Don't lower the volume, keep it loud.

Fathers teach your baby (teach your babies)
Fathers should teach their children important values and lessons.

Mothers raise your ladies
Mothers should teach their daughters how to be strong women.

Prepare for struggle, prepare for grief
Expect obstacles and hardships in life.

But teach them love, teach them peace
Despite the struggles, teach children to be loving and peaceful.

In a world of wealth, poverty
The world has both wealth and poverty.

A world of sex and HIV
The world deals with issues such as sex and HIV.

Sisters killings, trappers, dealing
There are problems with violence, drug dealing, and crime.

A world of recession, repossession
These problems occur during tough economic times.

Foreclosure and homelessness
People lose their homes and become homeless.

But don't you let up, keep your head up
Despite these challenges, keep going and stay strong.

Preachers, preach them scriptures (preach them scriptures)
Preachers should spread the message of scripture.

Sing them good hymns
Sing good religious songs.

In a world of addicts, alcoholics, non-believers, and false prophets
The world has problems with addiction, disbelief, and deceitful leaders.

Self destruction and freedom fighters, US soldiers and al-Qaeda
There are people who promote self-destructive behaviors as well as those who fight for freedom, including soldiers and terrorists.

Mother is there UFOs
The existence of UFOs is questioned.

Do we come in peace
People wonder if extra-terrestrial life comes in peace.

Man I don't know
The artist doesn't know the answer.

In a world of rock music, hip hop, R&B, soul and pop
There are a variety of music genres in the world.

Our elders are scared, they avoid our stares
Older generations are hesitant to face the problems of the younger generation.

They don't realize the similarity between Common and Roy Ayers
They don't see that current artists are similar to ones from the past.

I guess to you we all players, Ohio Players
To some people, everyone is just a pawn or a game piece, like the Ohio Players band.

Outkast
The hip hop duo Outkast is mentioned.

Yeah you knew one day the music will outlast your ass
The music created will outlive those who made it.

So now we taken the future back to the past
The artist is going back in time to bring back important values from the past.

Making it right
Trying to correct past wrongs.

Bringing the colors out
Showing the beauty of diversity.

Al Green, James Brown, Berry White

I'm a king like Coretta's son

Never, ever, done
Music will always continue.
