Beautiful Struggle Lyrics - Beautiful Struggle - Talib Kweli

(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 

No it's 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 your slavery 

(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)
