Just a child of the ghetto, yeah
Change gonna come
Yeah, uh-huh
ย
Change gonna come
Change gonna come
Change gonna come
Yeah
ย
They say a change gonna come
Well it's a long time comin'
My legs tired, hundred million miles runnin'
On life treadmill, runnin' in place
But still I run with the race
I think back on my wonder years
Food stamps, search for Wonder Bread
My mom goose loose, rolled the pegs
Young, wild, loose, learned the ledge
I got my truth from the older heads
You went to church and took a different route
You got your truth from out the bishop mouth
I drunk the juice that turned Bishop out
Them double deuces turned my system out
And the Xannies and the weed too
Fuck it, I'm still here
Though it's hard in this ghetto
Don't you let go
'Cause a change gonna come
Yeah, said a change gonna come
And though you're tired of waitin'
Hold your patience
'Cause a change gonna come
Yeah, I know it is (I know it is)
What a life (What a life)
The big house, two cars, a dog
Picket fence and you his wife (And I'm his wife)
But Lester Picket's life
You know them feds got them pictures, right? (Yeah)
I know you stressed, baby girl, feel what you goin' through
'Cause if they kick in that door, you know you goin' too
'Cause everything in your name
From the phone bill to the deed on the house
You tryin' to find a way to ease out
But you can't, you feel trapped
You think back
Was it really worth it?
This lifestyle, could you really afford it?
You done lost four lives
Yours and the three you brought
But it's hard when you settle with no income
But income steady comin' in
I need a change to come
I know I'm tired of the waitin'
Ain't got no patience
'Cause I don't think a change is gonna come
Please tell me when, oh
Damn, got you livin' good, you eatin' good
You dressin' good
Why you stressin' 'cause I'm still hood?
I know you one lil' cutie spent though
But you know I'm OT, I'm scoopin' that rent though
I put myself in your shoes at night
You huggin' the pillow, I'm huggin' the corner
Your pillow is soft, my corner is hard
But you won't see that, uh-uh
I bet your selfish ass don't see that
Instead, you think I'm up in the hood
Up to no good
Gotta come home to you blastin' L. Brooks
When it hurts so bad, why it feel so good?
But you love me like you should
You know I'd change if I could
See I know that I gotta shake it
But sometimes I just can't take it
Waitin' for a change to come
Waitin' on a change to come
And I know it gets hard in the struggle
So I gotta stay on top of my hustle, yeah
And I'm waitin' on the same change
Well I done waited a long time for a change to come
That change ain't came yet, so now I'm gone, baby
I don't think we on the same page
ย
Change gonna come
Change gonna come
Change gonna come
