We gotta make that change /
We gotta make that change /
We gotta change the life /
Every day I turn on the TV watching all the violence /
So many dying, another moment of silence /
We gotta change this, not rearrange this /
Or wish I'll forever remain nameless /
Are we brainless, we fly aimless /
With no direction, no police protection /
Here's my suggestion: kill the egos /
Then hold the benefits, we can reap those /
If you have a dream，you can easily reach that /
Be who you want, never stop and look back /
Champions win, losers just complain /
Don't be a spectator ，you gotta play the game /
But if you play the game，you gotta change the game /
Extraordinary, never remain the same /
Nobody said life was going to be easy /
But I'm living proof，ya'll please believe me /
Oh I wish there was a place that I could find /
To shield you from the pain /
That you will see in this lifetime /
For now, just close your eyes /
Oh I wish there was a place that I could find /
To shield you from the pain /
That you will see in this lifetime /
For now, just close your eyes /
It's like I'm on one knee and asking lord to save us /
And give thanks for all the things you gave us /
And turn around and go and rob our neighbor /
And don't that sound just so outrageous /
Man, we so misdirected，having sex unprotected /
So we spend 24 hours a day on BlackBerries /
Cuz we feel so disconnected,Now check it /
We buy the latest kicks,But can't keep our phone on /
And rock Sean Johns sleeping on the futon /
Mercedes Benz but still living in projects /
We got toilets but we still piss on our steps /
Man, I can't begin to explain /
What types of thoughts running through our brains /
Mercedes getting hard to maintain /
Then we let go and pump poison into our veins, it's insane /
I wish there was a place I could fly /
Where the world didn't need to cry /
So now we just look to the sky /
Hoping now we make it /
We only get one chance, hoping now we take it /
I wish there was a place I could fly /
Where the world didn't need to cry /
So now i just look to the sky /
Hoping now we make it /
We only get one chance, hoping now we take it /
Oh I wish there was a place that I could find /
To shield your heart from the pain /
That you will see in this lifetime /
For now, just close your eyes /
Oh I wish there was a place that I could find /
To shield your heart from the pain /
That you will see in this lifetime /
For now, just close your eyes /
