Scott-Heron, Gil - Push Comes To Shove Lyrics
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
Ain't nobody seen you
Can nobody scold you
Can nobody blame you,
Nobody should tie you
Tell you I told you
Nobody should ride you,
About the commitments you had.
Cuz they done learned you
And they done burned you
Showed you idealistic is all you were
Everybody gotta realize
Had to put on suit and ties
When push came to shove
(it's seems like)
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
Nobody can know
Nobody should tease you
Not try to disown you (bizown?)
And make you feel strange
Nobody got to explain
Ain't nothing really to explain
Everything that rearrange--- (?)
and the weather can change (?)
But they done taught you
Cuz they done caught you
Showed you unrealistic is all you was
So everybody once believed
Was only showing how naive
Gotta give up to be free
When push came to shove.
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of
Well, everybody knew somehow we was somehow running late
And with the captains overboard, who was handling a ship of fate?
And all we knew was what we really did not know
And that's when push was sure 'nough coming to shove
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of...
Cuz they done learned you
And they done burned you
Showed you idealistic is all you was
Everybody gotta realize
That we all had to compromise
Had to put on suit and ties
When push came to shove
Push comes to shove once in your lifetime (yes and)
Push comes to shove to find out just what's on your mind
Push comes to shove to find exactly what you're made of

Staring down the wolf.
"and all we knew is what we really did not know!" just awesome. wish i would of met the man.
I wonder Do Ppl get the Deep profound implications here, of a Ppl Struggles against the most Inhuemane System (Whitesupremacy/Racism) That’s Probably Ever Existed
Systematic racism is fucked up, but it's not as bad as Wahhabism or Stalinism or some shit, persacuted minorities in those systems die before they get the chance to tell you how fucked up it is. But this song is deep, you was never wrong about that.
goosebumps.
Bottom line Revolution is beyond our wildest expectations/fantasy, Yet the Work must be done

No problem. I know that at certain points of the song it's hard to understand what he's saying, and I had to play parts a number of times before I got it, so you're not alone, LOL....
@mezzo1741 thx ;)
The lyrics are not in order, so you would have to read from the bottom(first) post to the top(last) post, but I just tweaked the lyrics because a few words were wrong........

Nobody gettin on you
Nobody should tease you
Not try to piss on you
And make you feel strange
Nobody got to explain
Ain't really nothing to explain Everything got rearranged
In a web of change
But they done taught you
Cuz they done caught you
Showed you unrealistic is all you was
So everybody once believed
Can't nobody shame you
Can't nobody scold you
Can't nobody blame you
And make you feel bad
Nobody should chide you
And tell you I told you
Nobody should ride you
About commitments you have
Cuz they done learned you
And they done burned you
Showed you idealistic is all you were
Everybody gotta realize
That we all had to compromise
Had to put on suit and ties
