Change - J. Cole
My intuition is telling me
there'll be better days
Yeah
My intuition is telling me
there'll be better days
I like this tone
Yeah my intuition is telling me
there'll be better days
I sit in silence
and find whenever I meditate
My fears alleviate
my tears evaporate
My faith don't deviate
ideas don't have a date
But see I'm growing
and getting stronger
with every breath
Bringing me closer
to Heaven's doors
with every step
As we speak I'm at peace
no longer scared to die
Most niggas don't believe
in God and so they terrified
It's either that or
they be fearing
they gon' go to Hell
Asking the father
for forgiveness God
I'm overwhelmed Please God
I want to go to Heaven
As if he's spiteful like
them white folks
that control the jail
See I believe if God is real
he'd never judge a man
Because he knows
us all and therefore
he would understand
The ignorance
that make a nigga
take his brother's life
The bitterness
and pain that got him
beating on his wife
I know you desperate
for a change let the pen glide
But the only real change come
from inside
But the only real change come
from inside
But the only real
change come from
In cemeteries or
in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come
from inside
But the only real change come
from inside
But the only real
change come from
Yeah my chosen religion
Jesus piece frozen
from sinnin'
Doin' dirt hoping to God
He know my intentions
To see a million
'fore I see a casket
I got a baby on the way
know he gon' be a bastard
I'm living fast like
I'm in a drag race
how that cash taste
When I was a senior
I was ballin' on my classmates
Niggas put three bullets
in my car one hit the gas tank
Know I got a angel
cause I'm supposed
to have a halo
Right now
my lifestyle destined
for a federal facility
For my ability to make
them birds fly
Fiends wanna get higher
than a bird's eye view
And who am
I tell a nigga what to do
I just supply it's economics
My business
ain't got the suit and tie
Keep a pistol at all times
niggas want what's mine
I can't oblige dog
I work too hard
So reach for it get referred
to God I'm going hard nigga
I know you desperate
for a change let the pen glide
But the only real change
come from inside
But the only real change
come from inside
But the only real change
come from
In cemeteries or
in chains I see men cry
But the only real change
come from inside
But the only real change
come from inside
But the only real change
come from
Yeah prodigal son
got a new gun this one
Don't run out of ammo
lately been working
on my handles
Can I ball become a star
and remain my self
If I fall dust it off
and regain my self
Fuck 'em all
they don't know
all the pain I felt
I'm in awe after all the fame
I felt I evolve
I no longer bury demons
I be a vessel for the truth
Until I'm barely breathing
I'm singing
Life is all about the evolution
I give up I give in
I move back a little
I live up I look up
now I'm back for more
You can dream
but don't neglect the execution
I give up I give in
I move back a little
I live up I look up
now I'm back for more
Time is short that's
what somebody told me
I give up I give in
I move back a little
I live up I look up
now I'm back for more
Too short to keep
following your homies
I give up I give in
I move back a little
I live up I look up
now I'm back for more
I reminisce back to a time
where niggas threw they hands
All of a sudden niggas
pop a trunk and then we scram
Finger on trigger
make a little nigga understand
What it's like to finally
be the motherfuckin' man
Eyes wide that's from the power
that the coward feels
Niggas die over bitches
disrespect and dollar bills
Bloodshed that turned
the city to a battlefield
I call it poison
you call it real pop
pop pop pop
That's how you feel
Pistols be poppin'
and niggas drop
in a heartbeat
Scattered like roaches
a body laid on the concrete
Body laid on the concrete
Look somebody
laid on the concrete
No time for that
ain't no lookin' back
cause I'm running too
I made it home
I woke up and turned
on the morning news
Overcame with a feeling
I can't explain
Cause that was my nigga James
that was slain he was 22
Last night at around He was 22
22 year old black male
suspect poor
I swear to God bruh
We're gathered here today
I swear to God
To mourn the life
of James McMillan Jr
I swear to God nigga
I'mma kill them niggas man
A tragedy
another tragedy
in the black community
I promise you bro
We got to do better people
22 years old
this boy was too young
I promise you bro
Our condolences go to his family
our prayers
We know he's in a better place
We know he's in a better place
But this has got to end
ladies and gentleman
We've got to come together
this is this is beyond words
Now I'd like
to open this ceremony
with a verse fro
