1
This is a tear jerker
2
The revolution is here, the revolution is here people
3
I said it once, I'll say it twice
4
You gots to be ready
5
The revolution is inside of you
6
People, the revolution is here, yeah
7
The revolution's here
8
No one can lead you off your path
9
You'll try to change the world
10
So please excuse me while I laugh (yeah)
11
No one can change your ways (rock with me for a second)
12
No one can lead you off your path (come on)
13
You'll try to change the world
14
So please excuse me while I laugh
15
Yo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised
16
But in the land of milk and honey there's a date you gotta sell it by
17
Otherwise it just expires and spoils
18
And these folks jump out the pot when the water too hot
19
'Cause the fire boils inside
20
You go to church to find you some religion
21
And all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction and
22
You try to vote and participate in the government
23
And the muh'fuckin' Democrats is actin' like Republicans
24
You join an organization that know black history
25
But ask them how they plan to make money and it's a mystery
26
Lookin' for the remedy but you can't see what's hurtin' you
27
The revolution's here, the revolution is personal
28
They call me the political rapper
29
Even after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politics
30
I don't even follow it
31
I'm on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shit
32
Main Source, De La Soul, bumpin' "2Pacalypse Now"
33
The revolution's here (yeah)
34
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
35
You'll try to change the world
36
So please excuse me while I laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
37
No one can change your ways
38
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
39
You'll try to change the world ('scuse me)
40
So please excuse me while I laugh
41
Yo, I speak at schools a lot cause they say I'm intelligent
42
Nervous cause I'm dope, if I was wack I'd be irrelevant
43
I'm like the dope in your tracks until your high is settled in
44
You leanin' to the left, the laughter's the best medicine
45
But the troubles you have today you just can't laugh away
46
Stay optimistic, they can change, it's gon' come like Donny Hathaway
47
You have to pray, on top of that, act today
48
'cause opportunity shrivel away like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away"
49
Everybody pass away, the past will pay, the family mournin'
50
Everybody act accordin' to the season that they born in
51
You fight in the streets, start bleedin' 'til the blood is pourin'
52
In the gutter, mothers cry 'til the Lord be livin' by the sword and
53
All that folks want is safety, they goin' gun crazy
54
The same reason Reagan was playin' war games in the '80s
55
The same reason I've always rocked dog chains on my babies
56
The struggle is beautiful, I'm too strong for you to slave me
57
The revolution's here (yeah)
58
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
59
You'll try to change the world
60
So please excuse me while I laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
61
No one can change your ways (yeah)
62
No one can lead you off your path (uh uh)
63
You'll try to change the world ('scuse me)
64
So please excuse me while I laugh (yeah)
65
The revolution's here
66
No one can lead you off your path
67
You'll try to change the world
68
So please excuse me while I laugh
69
No one can change your ways
70
No one can lead you off your path
71
You'll try to change the world
72
So please excuse me while I laugh
73
It's a beautiful thing that's happenin' right now
74
Right now G
75
Yo, I'm rockin' with my man Hi-Tek on the track right now
76
We fightin' the good fight
