Change - Kalifa, Devonté Hynes, Miss Geri

Skittles and an Arizona

And it’s like that from New York down to Arizona

It’s crazy mostly all over the whole world

My generation needs to come up 'cause it’s outta order

So, they say that life is love, or is that a facade?

If black is beautiful, why is it so hard?

That’s why I grew up hoping that there was no God

At least not the way they taught us on the Amistad

Whoever the Creator is, she made us all

So I don’t really know who should make that call

To say who is and who is not safe for work

To remove anyone’s life from this Earth

Uniforms got you thinking you a athlete

But it’s not a competition, if you ask me

Can real recognize real?

We’re on the backburner like we’re 3/5ths still

Nonstop, drop top

Baby, are you ready for a change?

You’re waiting for a change

You’re waiting for…

You won’t give up

Baby, are you ready for a change?

You’re waiting for a change

You’re waiting for…

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I can help you get what you wanna change

You’re waiting for a change

If you came from a hood with

Drug dealers and undercovers, all kinds of hustlers

And your grade school teacher never would teach you

The history of your own culture, intentionally misinform you…

If anyone’s ever read your name

And grouped you terrorists and criminals one and the same

Take one step forward

If you already know the aim is to try to put you to shame

Because you’re not the same…

Tired of waiting games?

Add some fuel to the flame

Come forth and stake your claim

If you’re living in a fear of events you think you can’t prevent

Stop questioning your strength

Take one step forward

Nonstop, drop top

Baby, are you ready for a change?

You’re waiting for a change

You’re waiting for…

You won’t give up

Baby, are you ready for a change?

You’re waiting for a change

You’re waiting for…

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I have just what you want

I can help you get what you wanna change

You’re waiting for a change

Do you think we can start a revolution, baby?

Do you think we could save the world?

I heard you had something to yell

You’re afraid to say it

I heard it before and I know

I know it too well

I know it too well

Always with the smoke and mirrors

Put your life in your hands

Come and see yourself clearer

Take the fog away
