We mourn I'm praying for my neighbors They say the devil's at work and is calling favors You say I'm dangerous I speak for the nameless I fly with the vultures I be with them bangers If change don't come then the change won't come If the bands make 'em dance then the rain gon' come Woo Am I passin' into the light Am I looking into mercy's eyes Look into your eyes All the world is out of your hands Then ascending into the dark
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all
Let me out
Look into my eyes mama tell me what you see Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace But until then I keep my piece in arm's reach Yeah Am I passin' into the light Am I looking into mercy's eyes Look into your eyes All the world is out of your hands Then ascending into the dark
You got to die a little if you wanna live
Change come to pass Change come to pass
You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all You'd best be ready for it Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form
Yeah yeah yeah it's a shift in times But I won't get tired at all
You'd best be ready for it
