Dante Ross - Change Gonna Come lyrics

Intro: Yeah positivity over comes negativity check it A gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat So stop with the black on black (x2) Verse 1: We got black on black Black on crack Knowledge of self is what the black people lack Grew up in the projects with the welfare and the food stamps Modern day concentration camps Where we lost all our unity Because the negativity pulls us down like gravity Black people on each others' back Little shortie sedated thinkin' the way out is by selling cracks I seen black brothers cry like day by day the number multiply And the devil don't give a damn long as a black man k**s another black man It makes his job more eaiser As the tick goes with the tock he's just gettin' sleezier and sleezier Here's a good example of yourself Talkin' about a devil on a record they put you on the shelf As long as you talk about "Yo I bust this n***a and I bust that n***a" You grow bigger as a rap figure But that's still black on black welcome back It's time to graduate from that Hook: Change gon come change gon come time to free the dumb time to free the dumb (x3) Change gon come say what say what so get up out the slum Verse 2: Now let's deal on the real don't you set sick of this? The way we hate eachother the sh**'s ridiculous It's time to move on to the next phase Cause there's too many shorties gettin' boxed in the grave Some think respect is an uzi or a tech But when he steals your intellect it's like a rope around your neck That's the 2000 tricknowledge That's the sh** you won't learn in college, but a You get to be strong you got to hold on You got to know the ledge before you hit the edge Time to get wise and civilize Open up your eyes all three eyes and recognzie What your doing all that bullsh** you pursueing Put your whole life on ruin Let's k** the black on black vigga Cause it only gets us locked up or in the box quicker And that ain't how you get the cheese Cause now ya locked up or gunned down by your enemy But I'm a deader that gat Remember a gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat Word is born Keep it true God keep it true (x8) Puba talking: KnowhatI'msayin'? Time to civilize you know get wise. Think. Stop and think YouknowhatI'msayin'? No doubt. Check it so just... Stop think, listen to the God hear what he's sayin'. (x2) Hook Outro: No doubt I'd like to send this one out to all the people still striving and Stugglin'to keep it real youknowhatI'msayin'? Not actin' like we keepin' it Real no doubt. Peace and love. That's D on the hook off
