Lyrics

Never walk with ya head down, get up on the pedestal, gotta do numbers like the internal revenue, stepping out the nine dots creates a better you, they aint understand when obama said educate, 1814 state of mind segregate, jim crow laws in effect we was scared straight, couldn't put in the work nigga you was dead weight, buk buk buk, how they dead dat, hit you wit the whip like(sound) boy get back, couldn't have a mind of your own so forget that, do what I say or you can feel the wrizath, quick to pull the trigga on my black ass, destined to win but I lose so much, runnin top speed but I cant catch up, get a couple dollas but I don't get enough I can barely pay my bills the way prices go up, hard to survive, they telling us lies, conspiracy theory call it mel Gibson, brothas sittin in prison cause they knew too much peace to kwame cannon and mumia,


We gotta black president some say its heavensent, I say it's irrelevant, aint nuttin changing, but money from one hand to another, they wanna blame the fall of the country onna brother, why the hell everything gotta be about color, based onna decimal, based onna comma sign, prisons big business based onna dolla sign, can't tell me nothing, voice not recognized, kanye west without emotional ties, I try, but to no avail, thoughts of suicide but I'm scared I might fail, and who gone raise my kids if I'm dead or in jail, will I make it through the storm only time will tell, on my knees everyday pray to god I prevail, cause I'm in it to win I gotta get It by all means necessary let nothing discourage me from achieving my dreams, and if I don't make it then how would it seem, trying to make a dolla outta fifteen cents kind of hard when every thirty days you gotta pay rent

Make that change like Michael Jackson, obama said that it gotta happen, put the guns down and stop the clappin, life aint a game so whys ya laughing, change gotta come from deep withizin, everybody gotta try to make a difference, unh, and you can hear it in the hook, change gone come like sam cook

This to all the youngins out there shooting they way through life, put the guns down please, to all my young expectant mothers, keep ya head up, we all make mistakes, just learn from it. To the politicians of the world, wont yal come get to know our world.

Still I see no changes, all I see is angry faces, same poverty stricken hoods that I was raised in, same niggaz up on the corner that I was raised wit, man it's like a Polaroid picture imma rip off the back and send it to my nigga, listen my nigga don't come home to this, so slick I did it better than most kids, if you gonna do something you better be focused, I made the change you make the change too, change gone come but it starts with you, man in the mirror I believe I can fly, we are the world don't let it pass us by, whats the matter with the world lou rawls 79, inner city blues marvin gaye 71, get up stand up big up bob Marley nice track produce a seventy three, krs one him are the article don, himma try teach youth but them never understand, and this is word to my mother imma do what I gotta to be a better brother
