[Spoken] We gotta make a change It's time for us as a people to start making some changes Let's change the way we eat Let's change the way we live And let's change the way we treat each other You see, the old way wasn't working So it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive 2Pac Shakur [Verse 1] Feel that? There's urgency in the air Emergency flairs falling in front of foreign affairs Feel it? I know that's your fear You're scared to hear it But if I am not there Then I am near in spirit 24 hours to live if you don't change it You could go on embrace it Or waste it if you don't face it You could prolong your fate for a moment by staying home But in a moment you could be moaning and groaning from complications Who knows? Better pick up your phone Say hello to your homies, and say goodbye to your folks Cancel plans for the future and say you probably won't go Say I am sorry to Jesus and hopes he your soul Hope he sends a gust of wind that sweeps right off your toes Ask the Father for forgiveness of your sins Take ‘em farther in the distance, oh And if you ever wanna try to find a new way Remember if you're early, you're probably too late You better run [Hook:] Whatever it is, it's coming to get you Whatever it is, it's coming your way Whatever it is, it's coming to get you Whatever it is, it's coming your way [Verse 2:] I told you not to be brave, but you won't listen You tryin' to figure a way to get credit, b**h you don't get it You tryin' to be Martin Luther revisited You should run from your tunnel vision And come to your senses This is none of your business People floating on doors torn off their hinges Couture's getting torched, getting tossed from broken bridges Pause Get your logic restored That's your only resort There'll be no remorse for all the k**ings Of course, better get off your porch Come to grips with your anger And try to summon your force Creep a murk with a pistol And go to work with your sword Go and get you a chamber and try preservin' your corpse Dress as if it was the winter when you're going up north If you feel like you were sinnin', then repent, say a prayer before you enter Oh and if you ever wanna try find a new way Remember, if you're early, you're probably too late You better run [Hook] [Bridge: x6] Better run!! As fast as you c-c-c-c-can Better run!! [Spoken] I am a reflection of the community I am not saying I am going to rule the world or that I am going to change the world But I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world 2Pac Shakur [Verse 3:] My darling, I pray that I'm alive to see the morning There's no need to talk, do whats important Just give me your heart, spare me your comments I kept you in the dark to protect you from the dark, I protected you from walking into carnage I presented you with options, I brought you to the arts While I covered up my scars as an artist There's nothing like a heartbreak from someone being honest All you feeling is heartache, I'm going through it the hardest I'm steady trying to soar, you're biting down my harnest I'm supposed to fight with the gods, im fighting with my goddess The golden days are gone now. You're telling me let my guard down I'm trying not to let my God down. I could't be left unguarded God-willing I got it Instead of you telling me calm down I'm watching it all get torn down I got to do something about it
