Change (feat. Wale)

I saw a dried up river and a rich man

Turning on a garden hose

I see a young man picking up a gun

I guess that's where the money goes, yeah

Am I just as good as a bad man

Sleeping while the rest are dying?

Or am I just as bad as a good man

Saying there's no use of trying?

Ooh, tell me do you still believe

Ooh, everything that you read?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start asking who's in charge?

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies

Get higher than the background singers singing

Singing

Okay singing

Some people do it all for money

And some do it all for their love, yeah

Some do it all for the glory

'Cause nothing else they're thinking of

I saw a man in a four door truck

Complaining that the price is high

Like a well feed man with a spoon in his hand

Saying who ate all the apple pie? Yeah

Ooh, tell me do you still believe

Ooh, everything that you read?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start asking who's in charge

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

Na, na, na na-na-na

If I ain't ready to listen, I'm never gonna listen

Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work

And my vision isn't perfect so I will never look for it

Don't wish for some change like a church worker

Hallelujah, preacher I am not influenced

If I don't donate to your movement am I not improving?

And while the poor kill the poor for a portion

A piece of American society pie

I get high, the munchies I got so bear witness

I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing

And I ain't ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain

Why would you expect change?

Till we learn to get together

And see who we really are

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

If nobody's gonna wake up

And start asking who's in charge?

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change

Ain't nothing gonna change, no, no

Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies

Get higher than the background singers singing

Singing
