A Change Gon’ Come
Intro: Antwon Lamar Robinson
Yeah come on, ohh, come on, change gon' come, ohh, sing!
[Verse 1: Sabac]
I sense the presence of war, it's upon us all
I saw the rain out the window, as darkness falls
I saw the lights go out, heard the propellers again
Search and destroy, take cover under umbrellas and tents
My defense mechanisms activated by my wisdom
Pussy MC's got saturated in the kingdom
Time to decontaminate racist stink that feed evil
Fuck the radio and TV, it ain’t easy, lead the people to validity
Consider me the brain and the ability, to change what is killing me
Change the vicinity, identity ain’t faced by your shape and taste
But the honor of your persona is gon' save your face
Amazing Grace, man, how sweet the shots that pop off
And clear out all the streets and blocks
I make protest music, protest music
If we ever really gon' blow, let’s use it
[Chorus: Antwon Lamar Robinson]
No matter how hard they try (Come on!), we won’t be victimized
They can’t look me in the eyes, so I won’t fall for the lies (Won’t fall for the lies!)
Won’t compromise themselves, for the sake of what they done (The sake of what they done!)
For the struggle and the pain (Come on ah!), you know a change is gon' come (A change gon' come come on!)
[Verse 2: Sabac]
I rise in the morning seeking sought through rhymes
I wrote little something and read the New York Times
I separate the truth, I don’t get caught on lies
'cause the media is a way to distort your minds
And I'm a soldier in a war that never seems to end (yeah)
I’m on the frontlines but will I ever breathe again?
I’m like a pastor, a master when I roll the Dutch
Lately my voice been changing, I smoke too much (Oh yeah!)
Stressed the fuck out, the C.I.A. still wanna blast me (Come on!)
They pull me over, tryna ask me
“Where was you on New Year’s Eve?”
I’m like look, man, I was wilding, riding violent in Thailand
“What about in February?”
You ain’t even close enough
I was in Cuba with The Buena Vista Social Club
Smoking Cubans, doing new things
They go accusin', me and some shit
But they don’t know the revolution's comin'
My weapons and words, the way I kill it
Playing low-key then rise the fuck up like David Hilliard (Come on!)
Will it be Heaven or war?
Peep the lessons I taught
I teach you how to take your guns
And use your weapons for cause like
Aim, shoot, fire, buck at the enemies who want to stay lying to us (Come on!)
I take matter in my own hands, I’m my own man
This is survival skills, dog, what a performance
[Chorus: Antwon Lamar Robinson]
No matter how hard they try (Come on ah!), we won’t be victimized
They can’t look me in the eyes, so I won’t fall for the lies
Won’t compromise themselves, for the sake of what they done
For the struggle and the pain, you know a change gon' come
[Outro: Antwon Lamar Robinson]
A change gon' come, won't be victimized, I won't fall for the lies, won't fall for the lies, yeah, ohh! For the struggle and the pain yeah ohh! come on ohh! Yeahh! No matter how hard they try-try, come on, 'cause a change gon' come, 'cause a change gon' come, 'cause a change gon' come say, won't be victimized! Say I won't fall for the lies! They can’t look me in the eyes! Come on uh, for the struggle come on!
[Chorus: Antwon Lamar Robinson]
No matter how hard they try (Come on ah!), we won’t be victimized
They can’t look me in the eyes, so I won’t fall for the lies
Won’t compromise themselves, for the sake of what they done
For the struggle and the pain, you know a change gon' come
