[Snoop Dogg, Bad Lucc, Mabvuto Carpenter - Change Gone Come lyrics]
Sam was born by the river
Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
So when is change gon' come?
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
They throw the rock
Hide they hand and wait for you to trip
Then show the worst on the news, "Look y'all
He was a Crip" now what am I supposed to do
When family's on the line?
And how am I to stay calm
With that still on my mind?
Bodies droppin' by the dozens
The people sworn to protect is
Killin' all my cousins
For that, I keep my head on a swivel
Dogg's out the kennel
Don't you want revenge just a little? Shit
What do you tell a mother in
Pain who lost a child
By the hands of the people she called?
For a situation across the street
When all he did was walk over
To keep the peace? Cold game
Now she gotta live with
Seein' that whole thing
Nobody got charged for the murder - more pain
They wonder why we out here trippin'
The least of your worries should
Be me and my Crippin', nigga
Sam was born by the river
Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
So when is change gon' come?
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
As the world comes crashin' down around you
You're sittin' in that fire like
Nothin' here can down you
You find ease in pain and some comfort
This life has consumed you
It's dark everywhere you look
My tears amuse you
You've gotta break free from
That trap, but trust, i get it
When hopeless start shapin' your focus
Life is wicked i used to be that type of guy
Who smiled in all the pictures
And then I had my face where I
Would drown it out in liquor
Told the world that I would
Be the man, and baby, i will
I tend to talk to the ancestors
When I'm prayin' for real hopin' for better
While capitalists capitalize
You had a heart of gold once
Don't matter the size
They put the pressure on a youngin'
Youngin' grew up to kill
And put that youngin' in a prison
Just to ruin his will
See, it's the hard pill to swallow
And faith is your throttle
Still find myself prayin' for tomorrow
Sam was born by the river (River)
And Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
(Change gon' come, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So when is change gon' come?
(Change gon' come)
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
Lookin' for a change to come
(When is change gon' come?) somebody tell me
Change gon' come, oh, oh, oh yeah
(When is change gon' come?)
When is change gon' come? (Somebody tell me)
Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
So when is change gon' come?
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me
They throw the rock
Hide they hand and wait for you to trip
Then show the worst on the news, "Look y'all
He was a Crip" now what am I supposed to do
When family's on the line?
And how am I to stay calm
With that still on my mind?
