[Keedron Bryant, Symba, Gary Clark Jr. - I Know I Been Changed lyrics]
I know I been changed (Know I been changed)
I know I been changed (Know I been changed)
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name, well
Well, tell me what are we supposed to do?
We've been marching instead of
Shooting since Martin Luther
Our necks been in nooses
That's never loosened
Our freedom seems elusive
We're due for a revolution
Can't find a single solution
Within this crooked constitution, well
It hasn't been that long since you
Acknowledged me as a human
Three-fifths can't compromise or
Demoralize our contributions
You call us thugs and gangsters to
Justify when you shoot us
Well, everything you say I am, you
About to turn me into it, yeah
Well, you don't believe that I been redeemed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name well, follow me down to
That old Jordan stream
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name
I know I been changed you know that
I know I been changed good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name, well
You see, riots ain't changing rules and
Looting's not changing laws
Marches ain't helping shit 'cause they
Fight us with firearms
So maybe we should go get
A license to fire ours
And turn the gangsters and the mob
To a ghetto National Guard
We pressing all oppressors that stretch
Us 'cause it's their job
To detect us by complexion and strip
Us from who we are
If I pulled a gun on you and
You aim one back at my dome
And we shot at the same time whose
Side would God be on? Man
I know I been changed you know that
I know I been changed good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name
Amen
I know I been changed (Know I been changed)
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name, well
Well, tell me what are we supposed to do?
We've been marching instead of
Shooting since Martin Luther
Our necks been in nooses
That's never loosened
Our freedom seems elusive
We're due for a revolution
Can't find a single solution
Within this crooked constitution, well
It hasn't been that long since you
Acknowledged me as a human
Three-fifths can't compromise or
Demoralize our contributions
You call us thugs and gangsters to
Justify when you shoot us
Well, everything you say I am, you
About to turn me into it, yeah
Well, you don't believe that I been redeemed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name well, follow me down to
That old Jordan stream
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name
I know I been changed you know that
I know I been changed good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name, well
You see, riots ain't changing rules and

I know I been changed good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven
Done signed my name
