I'm on some KRS, Ice Cube, Chris Wallace shit
I don't even follow it
When the water too hot
You'll try to change the world
Until your high is settled in
In the gutter, mothers cry 'til the Lord be livin'
Songwriters: Tony Cottrell, Talib Kweli Greene
Stay optimistic, they can change
The laughter's the best medicine
Main source, De La Soul, bumpin' 2 Pacalypse now
You just can't laugh away
You'll try to change the world
So please excuse me while I laugh
And the motherfuckin' Democrats is actin' like Republicans
No one can change your ways
The revolution's here
'Cuz opportunity shrivel away
Everybody act accordin' to the season
No one can lead you off your path
So please excuse me while I laugh
No one can change your ways
People, the revolution is here, yeah
I'm too strong for you to slave me
The past will pay, the family mournin'
So please excuse me while I laugh
There's a date you gotta sell it by
You'll try to change the world
The same reason I've always rocked
You go to church to find you some religion
The struggle is beautiful
So please excuse me while I laugh
You'll try to change the world
{This is a tear jerker}
You try to vote and participate in the government
So please excuse me while I laugh
But you can't see what's hurtin' you
But ask them how they plan
Yo, I speak at schools a lot
So please excuse me while I laugh
You'll try to change the world
The revolution is here people
The revolution is inside of you
'Cuz the fire boils inside
To make money and it's a mystery
The revolution's here
No one can lead you off your path
And these folks jump out the pot
Lookin' for the remedy
It's gonna come like Donny Hathaway
You gots to be ready
By the sword and all that folks want is safety
Even after I tell 'em I don't fuck with politics
So please excuse me while I laugh
I'm like the dope in your tracks
But in the land of milk and honey
The revolution's here
And all you hear is connivin' and gossip and contradiction and
Yeah, let's go
So please excuse me while I laugh
You have to pray, on top of that, act today
The revolution's here
No one can change your ways
Dog chains on my babies
'Cause they say I'm intelligent
(Come on)
The revolution's here
Like Tom Hanks in Cast Away
The revolution is personal
No one can lead you off your path
You leanin' to the left
You fight in the streets
No one can change your ways
(Rock with me for a second)
You'll try to change the world
Yo, I heard it's said the revolution won't be televised
No one can lead you off your path
The revolution is here
Otherwise it just expires and spoils
No one can lead you off your path
You'll try to change the world
But the troubles you have today
War games in the '80s
The same reason Reagan was playin'
Nervous cause I'm dope
Start bleedin' 'til the blood is pourin'
That they born in
I said it once, I'll say it twice
So please excuse me while I laugh
No one can lead you off your path
No one can lead you off your path
They goin' gun crazy
Everybody passed away
They call me the political rapper
You join an organization that know black history
You'll try to change the world

No one can lead you off your path
If I was wack I'd be irrelevant
