C.O.T.I. (Captains Of The Imagination) - Trying To Make A Change lyrics

[Verse 1: Imagine] Your new jeans don't fit you? Tell you what, this society never suited me Listen to the pain, get bitten by the flames Of a generation, tamed in vain Read the signs, read these lines To tease your time, and ease your mind For I'm pleased to rhyme: Embrace your nature The love, the peace, Mother of all creators U.N.I.T.Y., gets us so high It don't take long to recognize we fly When we're connected to the essence No need for answers We let our hearts keep guessing We don't need money or weapons We need honey and blessings Ain't nothing funny to mention When it's your life that they're spending To get your attention I bathe my thoughts in puddles of dreams Now I let my heart fumble my way Through the jungle of schemes (Come on!) [Chorus: Evita Koné (with scratches by Dj Tiny Tim)] 'Cause we trying to make a change (Just trying to make a change) We all need to rearrange (Just trying to make a change) How we thinking, how we living How we breathing, how we teaching How we eating We all need to make a change (Beats and rhymes that might change ya) [Verse 2: Dr Koul] Outcast by persistence as we weave between Our past and existence are the realest dreams We recreate the history of our genetics Coded in a language eroded by academics But it's time to take the power back: Bring up the banner masts Flyers are the flags we pa** For our brothers and admirers to gather en-ma**e Together we can challenge the authority That ravaged the cla** Whether a dinner jacket, or a military pamphlet Suit-and-tie rack, who's plans are in the happening? Ripped pants, nice hat, no matter a man's things The swagger of damned kings With understanding Carry a big stick and talk soft A firm grip and mad love Pimp sit, or stand up! We are the pirates of beats Hijacking the industry's methods to inspire PEACE [Chorus: Evita Koné (+ Dj Tiny Tim)] 'Cause we trying to make a change (Just trying to make a change) We all need to rearrange (Just trying to make a change) How we thinking, how we living How we breathing, how we teaching How we eating (Beats and rhymes) We all need to make a change (Beats and rhymes that might change ya) [Outro: Dj Tiny Tim] Beats and rhymes that might change ya
