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
