| The revolution’s here
|
| No one can lead you off your path
|
| You’ll try to change the world
|
| So please excuse me while I laugh
|
| No one can change your ways
|
| No one can lead you off your path
|
| You’ll try to change the world
|
| So please excuse me while I laugh
|
| Yo, I heard it’s said the revolution won’t be televised
|
| But in the land of milk and honey there’s a date you gotta sell it by
|
| Otherwise it just expires and spoils
|
| And these folks jump out the pot when the water too hot
|
| Cause the fire boils inside
|
| You go to church to find you some religion
|
| And all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction and
|
| You try to vote and participate in the government
|
| And the muh’fuckin' Democrats is actin' like Republicans
|
| You join a organization that know black history
|
| But ask them how they plan to make money and it’s a mystery
|
| Lookin' for the remedy but you can’t see what’s hurtin' you
|
| The revolution’s here, the revolution is personal
|
| They call me the political rapper
|
| Even after I tell 'em I don’t fuck with politics
|
| I don’t even follow it
|
| I’m on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shit
|
| Main Source, De La Soul, bumpin' «2Pacalypse Now»
|
| Yo, I speak at schools a lot cause they say I’m intelligent
|
| No, it’s cause I’m dope, if I was whack I’d be irrelevant
|
| I’m like the dope in your tracks until your high is settled in
|
| You leanin' to the left, the laughter’s the best medicine
|
| But the troubles you have today you just can’t laugh away
|
| Stay optimistic, thinking change is gonna come like Donny Hathaway
|
| You have to pray, on top of that, act today
|
| Cause opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in «Cast Away»
|
| Everybody pass away, the pastor prays, the family mournin'
|
| Everybody act accordin' to the season that they born in (You'll try to change
|
| the world)
|
| You fight in the streets, start bleedin' 'til the blood is pourin'
|
| In the gutter, mothers cry 'til the Lord be livin' by the sword and
|
| All that folks want is safety, they goin' gun crazy
|
| The same reason Reagan was playin' war games in the '80s
|
| The same reason I always rock dog chains on my babies
|
| The struggle is beautiful, I’m too strong for your slavery
|
| It’s a beautiful thing that’s happenin' right now
|
| Right now G
|
| Yo, I’m rockin' with my man Hi-Tek on the track right now
|
| We fightin' the good fight
|
| The Beautiful Struggle
|
| Yeah, let’s go
|
| (So please excuse me while I laugh) |
