Beautiful Struggle
Talib Kweli

This is a tear jerkernnThe revolution is here, the revolution is here peoplenI said it once, I'll say it twicenYou gots to be readynThe revolution is inside of younPeople, the revolution is here, yeahnnThe revolution's herenNo one can lead you off your pathnYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laugh (yeah)nNo one can change your ways (rock with me for a second)nNo one can lead you off your path (come on)nYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laughnnYo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televisednBut in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gotta sell it bynOtherwise it just expires and spoilsnAnd these folks jump out the pot when the water too hotn'Cause the fire boils insidenYou go to church to find you some religionnAnd all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction andnYou try to vote and participate in the governmentnAnd the muh'fuckin' Democrats is actin' like RepublicansnYou join an organization that know black historynBut ask them how they plan to make money and it's a mysterynLookin' for the remedy but you can't see what's hurtin' younThe revolution's here, the revolution is personalnThey call me the political rappernEven after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politicsnI don't even follow itnI'm on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shitnMain Source, De La Soul, bumpin' 2Pacalypse NownnThe revolution's here (yeah)nNo one can lead you off your path (uh uh)nYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laugh (ha ha, ha ha)nNo one can change your waysnNo one can lead you off your path (uh uh)nYou'll try to change the world ('scuse me)nSo please excuse me while I laughnnYo, I speak at schools a lot cause they say I'm intelligentnNervous cause I'm dope, if I was wack I'd be irrelevantnI'm like the dope in your tracks until your high is settled innYou leanin' to the left, the laughter's the best medicinenBut the troubles you have today you just can't laugh awaynStay optimistic, they can change, it's gon' come like Donny HathawaynYou have to pray, on top of that, act todayn'cause opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in Cast AwaynEverybody pass away, the past will pay, the family mournin'nEverybody act accordin' to the season that they born innYou fight in the streets, start bleedin' 'til the blood is pourin'nIn the gutter, mothers cry 'til the Lord be livin' by the sword andnAll that folks want is safety, they goin' gun crazynThe same reason Reagan was playin' war games in the '80snThe same reason I've always rocked dog chains on my babiesnThe struggle is beautiful, I'm too strong for you to slave mennThe revolution's here (yeah)nNo one can lead you off your path (uh uh)nYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laugh (ha ha, ha ha)nNo one can change your ways (yeah)nNo one can lead you off your path (uh uh)nYou'll try to change the world ('scuse me)nSo please excuse me while I laugh (yeah)nThe revolution's herenNo one can lead you off your pathnYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laughnNo one can change your waysnNo one can lead you off your pathnYou'll try to change the worldnSo please excuse me while I laughnnIt's a beautiful thing that's happenin' right nownRight now GnYo, I'm rockin' with my man Hi-Tek on the track right nownWe fightin' the good fightnThe Beautiful StrugglenYeah, let's gonn(So please excuse me while I laugh)
