Change Lyrics

Why are we living to die

Black folk losing their lives

But I know change gon come

A great nation God gave dominion over the earth

Spiritual in they nature religion was of no worth

Inhabitants of the land astronomical from their birth

Chronicles from the bible tell stories before the church

Of a people mighty and strong and who multiplied all earth

The children chosen by God the likeness off all his works

The sparkle inside her eyes the light the shines in the dark

Temptation was always calling the serpents have always lurked

Forbidden fruit was the genesis of our sin

God tests the hearts of his own to know your his

God love you like nobody else love you more than you love yourself

We suffer cause we sin we sin and let them demons in

And you wonder why we in the predicament we in

The law is love your neighbour how you love yourself

Jesus died so we could live but you ain't living well

Shit might not live to tell

Hell on earth the time is near

False prophets everywhere

But I know change gon come

Why are we living to die

Black folk losing their lives

I feel your pain we feel the same somethings gotta change

But I know change gon come

How change gon come if we don't change our ways

Generations led a stray you do not know your name

Your claim to fame is the destruction you cause in the streets

Please don't talk to me bout beefing when your kids don't eat

You catching body's playing God another mother grieves

No super hero here to save you no Christopher Reeves

How change gon come if we never believe

Pull up our sleeves get in them trenches and fight for our seeds

Be the change they need to see in order to lead

Ain't no retreat in this life there ain't no guarantees

Either you in or you out ain't no in between

Got to stick together we equal like isosceles

Jim Crow is obsolete fuck these crooked ass police

Know they sweat the technique they study us like it's Socrates

Debris left from the colonies enslaved by all they policies

Sold us into slavery and created a monopoly

But change gon come

To my brother I say

I feel your pain we feel the same

Somethings gotta change

Why are we living to die

Black folk losing their lives

I feel your pain we feel the same

Somethings gotta change

To my sista I say

I feel your pain we feel the same

Somethings gotta change

Change gon come yes it will
