Now you will tell me that it's time for change
You have grown tired of the same ol' same
These men in suits don't know the time you've paid
Like bein' tied down wit' no restraint
[Verse 1: My Name Is...*B*]
As I sit back an' think about ma' life, glaze in ma' eye
Lookin' to the sky, in ma' minds eye, ma' spirit flies
Ma' soul is grounded but ma' Lord gave it wings to soar
Can I conquer all ma' flaws an' all ma' troubled thoughts? I
Wish on a star that I hope hasn't burnt out
Blowin' kisses to ma' Auntie Ann in heaven, couldn't doubt
She was the greatest joy ma' heart ever known
Wonder what she's thinkin' as I recollect in ma' home
All the times that I struggle, the times that I pray
Was jus' a baby boy, with no sense of the way
Either, or, I wanted more, put a pencil in ma' hand,
Come to terms with ma' losses, simply take it as a man
As the years pa** by, done grown up a lot
Tryna' figure out the purpose why I'm stuck in this spot
Situation so familiar, but the pain's non-intentional
Overcome mistakes, anythin' else is not conventional
[Hook: Joceline Ludiazo, Solange' Uanamputu, Amandus Kamran]
Now you will tell me that it's time for change
You have grown tired of the same ol' same
These men in suits don't know the time you've paid
Like bein' tied down wit' no restraint
[Verse 2: Lamin Koroma]
Lookin' back at them homeless days
I was trapped in the desert ??? in my face
Was thirsty, hungry, ???
Prayin', searchin', hopin' for rainy days
Catch up with the rain after all the long wait
Fresh water to drink fresh food on ma' plate
Now in my dreams I'm singin' songs, I'm happy
Rain, rain, rain please do not go away
Trapped in the desert an' I'm wantin' to say
A blessin' to how beautiful rain's today
??? away
Beautiful rain, set ma' life free
It's like they bless me like a tree by the sea
Need to feel the truth, peace, love an' unity
??? My brother, to ma' community
Rain do not go away, can you bless me?

Now you will tell me that it's time for change
You have grown tired of the same ol' same
These men in suits don't know the time you've paid
Like bein' tied down wit' no restraint
[Verse 3: Remi Adefeyisan]
Now I ??? half of the slaves ??? back in the day, ??? agnostic
Don't ??? Don't ever call me obnoxious
Runnin' ??? I'm not lookin' for easy options
I'm lookin' for answers that can't be given by a man
Who don't understand anything about their own land
Think that they clever, but can't follow a simple command
Actively question ??? requestin' ??? and try an' explain facts
Can't explain the un-explainable so they missin' the path
You can say I'm wrong if you want
But deny, it really doesn't help anyone for long
I gotta' know it all, I barely know all the basics
I'm jus' a bigger man, cuz' that's ???
???
??? Till the moment I die, I don't
Know what it's like, to know what's right
Then go for no ??? it's like suicide

???
Payin' your bills will give you peace of mind
Please tell me whatcha' gonna' do?
You can keep fightin' but one day you'll lose yeah
