i need a change

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky

It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

yo a change gotta come standing on the block wit my hand on my gun
watchin 4 cops and shots that may come it’s the furthest thing from fun
the other day I sold crack to a lady and realized I’m friends wit her son
but the block was slow and I had to take any money that come
it just haunt me she copped while holding on to her young
wearing the smell of the slums, dried up cum and lord knows what on her son
and this is where the fuck I am from my only escape is the cypher
its like I’m locked on the block and they just told me I’m a lifer
and the mysteries of life getting harder to dissifer
I look back to what I did as a kid I was doing wrong constantly
and I’d like to take time to tell those I offended pardon me


It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

Then I go to my father
I say father help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees


please my father wasn’t never there not even when he was here
some say the drugs took him but I say he drowned in my tears
as he went from his sons hero to his sons worst fear
I used to hate when people was like u walk like him talk like him
but worst of all I hated worst of all when people said I thought like him
like I could look at my son and tell facts thats fiction
tell I get to the point that the boy no longer listen
like I could not worry about how the mother of my seed could fill the kitchen
but I learned more from him missing then seeing him beating my mother in the kichen
there for I refuse to for u to take this as if I was bitching


There's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
