Revolution was released February 5 2020
In Adelamonica’s song “Revolution”, the word “Revolution” is used in the context of change. The line in the song “Call for Revolution” is not intended to be interpreted as a call for war and uprising. Although the world “Revolution” is defined as: [ a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system ], force does not necessarily need to entail violence. This song is not about the kind of revolution that is sought via means of violence and insurrection.

Written by Adela Claudia Monica Lewis (Adelamonica)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Had enough of working hard every day
Just to get paid in nickels and dimes
If you won’t pay me what I’m worth
Am outta here
No I ain’t settling for lemons and limes
Yeah I could make lemonade
And I’m sure there would be days
It would go down like a glass of wine
But I will not be made to slave
For a glass of lemonade
Nah nah
I’m gonna rise up and
(Chorus)
Say no to poverty
Call for revolution
Stand up for change
Demand an end to exploitation
Say no to having generation after generation
Living in poverty
Dying in misery
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Call for revolution
Verse 2
Nah nah nah
It’s not my fault that I’m poor
That’s just the game you play
The way that you keep me out
Try to get inside my head
make me believe
I’m only worth
Whatever you pay out
You expect me to agree
Expect to believe
I don’t deserve to live the life like you
And then
you think up
All the ways
You can come and
take my money
But I’m on to your scheme
And
I’m fighting back
I’m gonna
(Chorus)
Say no to poverty
Call for revolution
Stand up for change
Demand an end to exploitation
Say no to having generation after generation
Living in poverty
Dying in misery
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Call for revolution
Yeah yeah
You better believe
You’re being played like a fool
You are the butt of the joke
And every day they’re amazed
They can’t believe it
Just how easy it is
To keep you slaving away
Making the money
They pay you nothing
And then they turn around
And they make you give back
what they paid
To keep the lights on
And the water running
And you never complain
Because you think it’s OK
That’s just the way that it is
(Chorus)
Say no to poverty
Call for revolution
Stand up for change
Demand an end to exploitation
Say no to having generation after generation
Living in poverty
Dying in misery
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Call for revolution
