Beautiful struggle lyrics by Talib kweli

Album: Beautiful struggle


Sample
This is a tear jerker

Intro - echoes
The revolution is here, the revolution is here people
I said it once, I'll say it twice
You gots to be ready
The revolution is inside of you
People, the revolution is here, yeah

Hook
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 yeah
No one can change your ways rock with me for a second
No one can lead you off your path come on
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh

Verse 1: Talib Kweli
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
Cuz 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 an 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"

Hook
The revolution's here yeah
No one can lead you off your path uh uh
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh ha ha, ha ha
No one can change your ways
No one can lead you off your path uh uh
You'll try to change the world 'scuse me
So please excuse me while I laugh

Verse 2
Yo, I speak at schools a lot cause they say I'm intelligent
Nervous cause I'm dope, if I was wack 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, they can change, it's gon' come like Donny Hathaway
You have to pray, on top of that, act today
Cuz opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away"
Everybody pass away, the past will pay, the family mournin'
Everybody act accordin' to the season that they born in
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've always rocked dog chains on my babies
The struggle is beautiful, I'm too strong for you to slave me

Hook
The revolution's here yeah
No one can lead you off your path uh uh
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh ha ha, ha ha
No one can change your ways yeah
No one can lead you off your path uh uh
You'll try to change the world 'scuse me
So please excuse me while I laugh yeah
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

Outro: Talib Kweli
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
