Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama Mavis, oh mama, they tried my patience
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
So together we mourn, I'm praying for my neighbors
They say the devil's at work and Trump is calling favors
You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers
If the change don't come, then the change won't come
If the bands make 'em dance then the rain gon' come
(woo)
[Verse 2]
Am I passing into the light
Look into your eyes
All the world is out of your hands
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it
[Verse 3]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times but I don't get tired at all
Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times but I don't get tired at all
[Verse 4]
Look into my eyes, mama tell me what you see
Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets
Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my neice
Promise me my pastor isn't lying as he preach
Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace
But until then I keep my piece in arm's reach
[Verse 5]
Am I passing into the light
Look into your eyes
All the world is out of your hands
You've got to die a little if you wanna live
Change coming you best be ready for it
[Verse 6]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times but I don't get tired at all
Something I've begun to fear is about to change it's form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times but I don't get tired at all
You best be ready for it
You best be ready for it
