"RAP FOR CHANGE"
Lyrics

[Verse]
Another law about weed in the paper
Another teen gettin' beat by the taser
Another body in the street
We should play another beat for the poor people takin' out the anger
A child is born with no state to belong to
Now, how is he to eat? We ain't doin' what we ought to
You're too cold to the boys in the corner
Then expect the world to treat your son like a baller?
You mad 'cause he smokin' on a pipe
Instead of spendin' his life sittin' on the sidelines?
He get his cake and he eat it at the same time
A brown man with a tan, but he shines
The police is a block away
Gettin' high as a motherfucker, puffin' a jay
What's the point in a law if it don't apply
To the people that it's written for?
We ain't gonna listen, boy

[Chorus]
Riding around in the city in a four-door
People yellin', "What they did to you, oh, Lord?"
They ain't worried 'bout you or the peace
So don't get caught sleepin' in the street

[Verse]
What do you do when you live in the states?
And you a good kid, but your color ain't the same
As the people on the TV screen
And you wonder if they treat you the same?
Hell, nah, I was only ten years old
Walkin' home with my brother and my older sister
Police in the street, heard a voice yellin', "Freeze"
And I knew right then they weren't playin' with us
Damn, and they wonder why I don't wanna hang out
And play with their kids
Your parents were too busy payin' the rent
My people were gettin' killed by the ones you defend
Your life, you can have it
I can't believe you would let it happen
When I look in your eyes
I don't see what you see
You were blind to the fact that it coulda been me

[Chorus]
Riding around in the city in a four-door
People yellin', "What they did to you, oh, Lord?"
They ain't worried 'bout you or the peace
So don't get caught sleepin' in the street

[Verse]

Before a death wish, a will to live

Society put us at a disadvantage

They tell us "You can make it if you want it bad enough"

And we make it

Then they say "You lucky bastards"

They ain't have it like us

Can't compare our conditions

The house ain't a home

We build a culture of tripping

Forgetting who we are

That results in division

Crabs in a bucket

Cause the system to fishin'

Cause the system deficient

When you dig in the kitchen

And lookin' at the plate and got no nutrition

Say, "God is the mission"

Say, "All of us Christian"

But there are too many souls that are missing

Too many getting over our prisons

God, please give me the vision

And get me away from the hell

But don't turn your back on my people

I'm bringing them with me

[Chorus]
Riding around in the city in a four-door
People yellin', "What they did to you, oh, Lord?"
They ain't worried 'bout you or the peace
So don't get caught sleepin' in the street
