B.o.B, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton - Change Gonna Come lyrics

It's been a long
A long time coming but I know
Change gonna come

Prisoner to my cerebellum
So I reach out to the listeners
And my mission is I better tell 'em
Our fear of a free mind is hearing
Your spirit can die anytime
You need to cry and 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 tryna make due
I feel like I'm cheating when I'm
Faced with a break through
The man in the mirror keeps saying I hate you
I respond like lil nigga 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 them
Change is eminent I evolve so it's nothing
What's the discussion charles Hamilton

It's been a long
A long time coming but I know
Change gonna come

We've been pompous ever since Columbus
Couldn't work a compass
We've accomplished what we've conjured
Up while conscious Unconsciously
We've conquered all the eye can see
Constantly concocting more options but
Jobs are still obsolete
It seems so odd to me, an odyssey
How honesty is honestly the
Rarest thing upon us it's 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 Conic and BoB nag Champa rises as I sit
Down and sketch my rhymes
Stretch my mind to figure out
What's next in line
The next Em, Ye and Andre?
Nah homie it's just been a long
A long time coming

It's been a long
A long time coming but I know
Change gonna come

Well as you listening to this track
You probably about to blog about it
And maybe say it's wack
Or maybe compare the verses to see
Which one of us has snapped
Completely ignoring the fact that this
Is way more than rap
Cause, 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 bitch 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
Im in a different city about
To rock a different venue
My girl sent me a text message
Just to say "i miss you"
It won't be long before I'm home
Baby but the rent's due ha ha ha

It's been a long
A long time coming but I know
Change gonna come
