(This is a tear jerker)

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

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

(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

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 motherfuckin' 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' 2 Pacalypse now

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

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 gonna 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 passed 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 meThe 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

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

Yeah let's go

So please excuse me while I laugh
