Beautiful Struggle - Talib Kweli[00:00:00]
Written by:Talib Kweli Greene/Tony Cottrell[00:00:00]
This is a tear jerker[00:00:00]
The revolution is here the revolution is here[00:00:08]
Revolution is here people[00:00:10]
I said it once I'll say it twice say it twice[00:00:13]
You gots to be ready gots to be ready[00:00:15]
The revolution is inside of you inside of you[00:00:18]
People people the revolution is here yeah[00:00:21]
The revolution's here[00:00:24]
No one can lead you off your path[00:00:26]
You'll try to change the world[00:00:29]
So please excuse me while I laugh yeah[00:00:32]
No one can change your ways rock with me for a second[00:00:35]
Lead you off your path come on[00:00:38]
You'll try to change the world[00:00:41]
So please excuse me while I laugh[00:00:43]
Yo I heard it's said the revolution[00:00:46]
Won't be televised[00:00:48]
But in the land of milk and honey[00:00:49]
There's a date you gotta sell it by[00:00:50]
Otherwise it just expires and spoils[00:00:52]
And these folks jump out the pot when the water too hot[00:00:54]
'Cuz the fire boils inside[00:00:56]
You go to church to find you some religion[00:00:58]
And all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction and[00:01:00]
You try to vote and participate in the government[00:01:03]
And the muh'f**kin' Democrats is actin'[00:01:06]
Like Republicans[00:01:08]
You join an organization that know[00:01:09]
Black history[00:01:11]
But ask them how they plan to make[00:01:12]
Money and it's a mystery[00:01:13]
Lookin' for the remedy but you can't see what's hurtin' you[00:01:14]
The revolution's here the revolution is personal[00:01:17]
They call me the political rapper[00:01:20]
Even after I tell 'em[00:01:21]
I don't f**k with politics[00:01:23]
I don't even follow it[00:01:24]
I'm on some KRS Ice Cube Chris Wallace sh*t[00:01:26]
Main Source De La Soul bumpin' 2Pacalypse Now[00:01:28]
The revolution's here yeah[00:01:31]
No one can lead you off your path uh uh[00:01:34]
You'll try to change the world[00:01:37]
So please excuse me while[00:01:39]
I laugh ha ha ha ha[00:01:40]
No one can change your ways[00:01:43]
No one can lead you off your path uh uh[00:01:45]
You'll try to change the world 'scuse me[00:01:48]
So please excuse me while I laugh[00:01:50]
Yo I speak at schools a lot 'cause they say I'm intelligent[00:01:53]
Nervous 'cause I'm d**e if I was wack I'd be irrelevant[00:01:56]
I'm like the d**e in your tracks[00:01:59]
Until your high is settled in[00:02:01]
You leanin' to the left the laughter's the best medicine[00:02:02]
But the troubles you have today[00:02:05]
You just can't laugh away[00:02:06]
Stay optimistic they can change it's gon' come like Donny Hathaway[00:02:07]
You have to pray on top of that act today[00:02:10]
'Cuz opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in Cast Away[00:02:13]
Everybody pass away the past will pay the family mournin'[00:02:16]
Everybody act accordin' to the season[00:02:19]
That they born in[00:02:21]
You fight in the streets start bleedin'[00:02:22]
'Til the blood is pourin'[00:02:24]
In the gutter mothers cry 'til[00:02:25]
The Lord be livin' by the sword and[00:02:26]
All that folks want is safety[00:02:28]
They goin' gun crazy[00:02:29]
The same reason Reagan was playin' war games in the '80s[00:02:30]
The same reason I've always rocked dog chains on my babies[00:02:33]
The struggle is beautiful I'm too strong for you to slave me[00:02:36]
The revolution's here yeah[00:02:39]
No one can lead you off your path uh uh[00:02:40]
You'll try to change the world[00:02:44]
So please excuse me while I laugh ha ha ha ha[00:02:46]
No one can change your ways yeah[00:02:50]
No one can lead you off your path uh uh[00:02:52]
You'll try to change the world 'scuse me[00:02:55]
So please excuse me while I laugh yeah[00:02:58]
