Blue Scholars - The Long March lyrics
[Blue Scholars - The Long March lyrics]
Left, right left, check it out
It goes left, right
Left and we're marchin' on
Ya'll can pop your collars
Blue Scholars poppin' collarbones
Molotov cocktail party at the White House
Fire in the hole of the Oval Office
It's lights out
Alpha to Omega, Genesis to Revelation
The meek shall inherit but
They're still miseducated
By the colonized mind idolized in America
New people's era once again
Break the barriers to crush, kill, destroy
Stressin' over trying to find a job or
Just keepin' the one you got
Now war? Huh? What the fuck's it good for?
Absolutely everything that America
Has stood for
Some read a book but can't overstand one love
Like Radio Raheem's right hand
Two mics, two turns, two cats and no others
My hypeman's the spirit of
My still-born brother
Goin' left right, left and we're marchin' on
Left, right, left, keep it up ya'll
Left, right, left, keep marchin' on
Left, right, left (check it out)
It goes left, right, left like a pendulum
Swingin' the momentum in
The people's direction
I learned lessons never taught
In textbooks or chalkboards
Sittin' in the back of the class
The teacher talked more
Cock back this hammer to
Sickle-cell up you amateurs
Skills below average
You will always be a challenger
I walk like a champion, talk like a champion
Want to be somebody? Better
Get yourself some discipline
I spit good medicine, listen to the antidote
Clean the Clear Channel out
Your eardrums and throat
I wrote this manifesto for folks
Who can't afford most luxuries
And not those who boast that
They're broke when they're not
Walk now, proud and tall, the occasional fall
It keeps me humble through it all
Now Geo's chillin', Sabzi's chillin'
What more can I say?
We keep marchin' to the rhythm
Goin' left, right, left and we're marchin' on
Left, right, left, Blue Scholars ya'll
Left, right, left, it's the Long March
Left, right, left and it goes
Left, right, left
It goes left, right
Left and we're marchin' on
Ya'll can pop your collars
Blue Scholars poppin' collarbones
Molotov cocktail party at the White House
Fire in the hole of the Oval Office
It's lights out
Alpha to Omega, Genesis to Revelation
The meek shall inherit but
They're still miseducated
By the colonized mind idolized in America
New people's era once again
Break the barriers to crush, kill, destroy
Stressin' over trying to find a job or
Just keepin' the one you got
Now war? Huh? What the fuck's it good for?
Absolutely everything that America
Has stood for
Some read a book but can't overstand one love
Like Radio Raheem's right hand
Two mics, two turns, two cats and no others
My hypeman's the spirit of
My still-born brother
Goin' left right, left and we're marchin' on
Left, right, left, keep it up ya'll
Left, right, left, keep marchin' on
Left, right, left (check it out)
It goes left, right, left like a pendulum
Swingin' the momentum in
The people's direction
I learned lessons never taught

Left, right, left, Blue Scholars ya'll
Left, right, left, it's the Long March
Left, right, left and it goes
Left, right, left
