Urban Mystic, Trick Daddy - Let's Make A Change lyrics
[Urban Mystic, Trick Daddy - Let's Make A Change lyrics]
Look in the mirror, check ya self, yeah
(M-m-m) all black folk stand up (Oh, yeah)
Keep your hands up high in the air
It's gon' get better
We might see the sunshine
Even though it snow sometimes
(The more you complain 'bout it
The harder it's gon' get)
And the world might never see the rain
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
(We got to better ourselves) listen, yeah
How 'bout a song for them single baby mamas
With them sorry ass baby daddies
Y'all niggas
How you gon' have kids out there
And you don't nothin' for 'em
And actin' like you don't care
How the hell we gonna better ourselves
If we just let our self, self-destruct
And how the fuck we gon' ever have somethin'?
When niggas always wantin' but don't
Wanna work fo' nothin'
But ain't nothin' left to blame it on
Don't sing no slave song 'cause
Niggas gotta move on
Hell, it's been over seventy years
And seems shit's gettin' worse and worse
Each and every year
We might see the sunshine
Even though it snow sometimes, yeah
And the world might never see the rain
Oh yeah
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
Listen, yeah
We need a world that's free
Where kids can breathe
Not worry how the police harass our teens
And, whatever happened to the man you heard?
Show black people struggle for pain endured
James Byrd was his name, see it pays to learn
But, it's hard when the dope
Is yo' main concern
Gotta, get it together that's
What mama would say
Some days pour with the thunder
But the sun'll come way
Maybe we could find a day, not far from now
When our troops come home no gunshots now
When our mouth move Harris
And Fredrick's goal
The way we livin' right now is unacceptable
Young babies bein' found in receptacles
And the drugs in the streets too acceptable
When you live this life
It's really hard to change
But, I know we shall overcome someday
We might see the sunshine (Oh, we might see)
Even though it snow sometimes
(Even though it might snow)
And the world might never see the rain
(And it might never see the rain)
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
(Oh we can all make a change, yeah)
Listen, yeah
We need us another Dr king
'Cause since we've been free
We done forgot our dream
Now I done, read books about how Rosa Parks
Played a part in all of this, yes
And about the gangstas they had
Slaved like Kunta Kinte
Who held it down back in them days
And 'bout the long trips, on the slave ships
When we captured us and
Brought us from Africa
And how the bastards made call 'em masters
Break our world with them mix
Breedin' all of our children
What the use of us growin' old?
When all of our children dyin' young
Or in jail 'fore they 21? Tell me that
I don't know, but I know we might see
We might see the sunshine (Ohh, we might see)
Even though it snow sometimes, yeah
(Ohh, it might snow, y'all)
And the world might never see the rain
(Might never see the rain)
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
(Ooh, we can all make a change, y'all)
Listen, yeah
Come on, come on ohh, we might see
Come on, come on ohh, it might show, y'all
(M-m-m) all black folk stand up (Oh, yeah)
Keep your hands up high in the air
It's gon' get better
We might see the sunshine
Even though it snow sometimes
(The more you complain 'bout it
The harder it's gon' get)
And the world might never see the rain
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
(We got to better ourselves) listen, yeah
