Theres a time to fight

A time to write

Undo all the things that the devil made right



Brown man, black man, yellow man, blue

Everything I thought was true was based on a lie

I learned in school

We all be from Africa

Scientist can back it up



Race is a concept

Created to oppress

Made by the White Man

So they can treat us less



Take all our land

And respect

Colonize Culture

A knee on my kneck

They wanna take us out

WE bout to get lit

You know the time it’s 8:46



You know the time (3X)





A Change Gonna Come (2X)

And we aint gonna stop (2X)

It’s been a long time coming

It’s been too long

Its been a long time coming

Its been too long


From the ancients, to attainments of today's kin

Tenacious, we rebels raised in a stolen nation

They shameless, since the days when there was enslavement

The anguish, it don't make sense, so we can't quit

With raised fists, counter-attacking the heinous

Racist, ignoramus, can't detain us

Courageous on a daily basis, the greatest

We say this, it's in our destiny, it awaits us

Rather be hated for being real, than loved for being fake

Made it this far on truth and good faith

Don't sale yourself short, we are not what they say

I know change is gonna come, let's make it worth the wait

We can't wait on them though, the change is ours to take

Each one teach one, from the cradle to the grave

With blood sweat and tears we have overpaid

Now it's time to collect

give me my change


A Change Gonna Come (2X)

And we aint gonna stop (2X)

It’s been a long (3X)

Coming

Sing it with me

Say it with me now

Sing it with me

So let me hear you sing

Let me hear

So let hear you sing

Let me hear you

Let me hear you sing



Just cry with me

Don’t die with me

Put your fist in the air and fight with me

The cops in the streets kill violently

The judges in the courts they lie to me

Close your eyes so you can see

Close your eyes and let’s get free


Its been a long time coming

Its been too long

Its been a long time coming

Its bee a long time coming

(Sing it with me)

It’s been a long time

(Say it with me)

Its been a long time coming

(Sing it with me now)

So let me hear you sing
