Change gonna come,change gonna come,

Change gonna come(x2)

Charles Hamilton:

Prisoner to my cerebellum,

So i reach out to the listeners

And my mission is i betta tell 'em

Our fear of a free mind is hearing your spirit can die anytime you need to cry so you hide it deep inside

Reason why?

How can you change what was written?

Easy don't focus your brain on what they mentioned

I got so used to tryin' to make due

I feel like I'm cheatin' when I'm faced wit a break through

The man in the mirror keep sayin' i hate you

I respond like lil' ***** i made you

Slay those sayin' they could break you

So when i take a break i go ape come back and play fool

When they think they won that's when i crush 'em

Change is imminent i evolve so its nothin'

What's the discussion?

Change gonna come,change gonna come,

Change gonna come,change gonna come

Asher Roth:

We've been pompous ever since Columbus couldn't work a compass

We've accomplished what we conjured up while conscious

And consciously we conquered all the eye can see

Constantly concocting more options but jobs are still obsolete

It seems so odd to me and odyssey how honesty is honestly the rarest thing upon us its astonishing

How did all the honest people vanish from the planet?

Leaving us a laundry list of problems to acknowledge

While plotting with my phonics me and sonic and Bob

Non chomp and vises as i sit down and sketch my rhymes

Stretch my mind to figure out whats next in line

The next Em, Ye, and Andre?

Nah homie its just been a long...

A long time commin'...

Hook:

But i kno change gonna come

Change gonna come,

Change gonna come,change gonna come

Its been a long..

A long time comin but i kno

Change gonna come,change gonna come,

Change gonna come,change gonna come

B.o.B:

While as you listenin' to this track

You probably about to blog about it maybe say its wack

Or maybe compare the verses to see which one of us wud snap

Completely ignoring the fact that this is way more than rap

Cuz i happen to be on a magazine you happen to see this issue

Some people wish you well man some people turn against you

Some people even call up to the station just to diss you

You ***** you,you only mad at your self here's a tissue

But that ain't even my focus man that hate ain't on my menu

I'm in a different city about to rock a different venue

My girl sent me a text message just to say "i miss you"

It wont be long before I'm home baby but the rents due,ha ha ha
