It's the way it is but not
The way it should be
I've been waitin' for changes
But nothin' seems to change
And I've been waitin' with strangers
We all feel the same
And I've been waitin' for summer
But all I get is rain
I'll keep on waitin' for changes
To help me with the pain
Yeah, all I see is racist faces
'Cause this human race is stuck in the matrix
Wake up, stay up, no wonder why they hate us
Try to separate us and keep
Us slaves to the paper
While the rich gettin' richer
I'm paintin' a picture of real life
What it feel like labelled a sinnеr
Labelled a nigga 'cause thеy fear me
Be afraid been prayin' for better days
I'm just hoping that you hear me
I've been waitin' for changes
But nothin' seems to change
And I've been waitin' with strangers
We all feel the same
And I've been waitin' for summer
But all I get is rain
I'll keep on waitin' for changes
To help me with the pain
I see no changes i see no changes
I see no changes i see no changes
Crooked cops wanna see me popped
I'd rather team up with the
Opps to protect the block
All these protests with the same outcome
I treat women with respect 'cause
I came out one
If you could read between the lines
You could see between the lies
Fill the news with the blues
Put fear in front of our eyes
My whole country on fire
All the animals dyin'
The Prime Minister lyin' while
The rich are survivin'
Now we under water, no food for my daughter
No home where the heart is
But we can't afford it, no
Hope won't ignore us, no
Don't be afraid, been prayin' for better days
It's time to make a change
I'm just hopin' that you hear me
I've been waitin' for changes
But nothin' seems to change
And I've been waitin' with strangers
We all feel the same
And I've been waitin' for summer
But all I get is rain
I'll keep on waitin' for changes
To help me with the pain
Wake up and I ask myself
"Is life worth livin'? Should
I blast myself?" am I really bein' myself?
I don't want to be nobody else
They want to put my mind in a cell
Where's heaven when you're
Going through hell?
Love's the only thing that could help
You feel it like it's written in braille
Still, I see no changes i see no changes
I see no changes i see no changes
