Change (Feat. Wale) - Daniel Merriweather
I saw a dried up
river and a rich man
Turning on a garden hose
I see a young man
picking up a gun
I guess that's
where the money goes yeah
Am I just as good as a bad man
Sleeping while the rest are dying
Or am I just as bad as a good man
Saying there's no use of trying
Ooh tell me do you still believe
Ooh everything that you read
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't shit changing
but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background
singers singing singing
Okay singing
Some people do it all for money
And some do it all for their love
Some do it all for the glory
'Cause nothing else
they're thinking of
I saw a man in a
four door truck
Complaining that the
price is high
Like a well feed man
with a spoon in his hand
Saying who ate all the
apple pie yeah
Ooh tell me do you still believe
Ooh everything that you read
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
if nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothin gonna change
Ain't nothin gonna change
Ain't nothin gonna change
If I ain't ready to listen
I'm never gonna listen
Most follow intuition while
they wishing it would work
And my vision isn't perfect
so I will never learn for it
Don't wish for some change
like a church worker
Hallelujah
preacher I am not influenced
If I don't donate to
your movement
am I not improving
And while the poor kill the poor
for a portion
A piece of American society pie
I get high
the munchies I got
so bear witness
I got this girl looking at you
'cause my reps kissing
And I ain't ready to wait then
there's dollars on the brain
Why do you expect change
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothin gonna change
Ain't nothin gonna change
Ain't nothin gonna change no no
Ain't shit changing
but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background
singers singing singing
