And I pray to God that one day
That this world sees a change
And they say we all was equally made
But that's not how we're treated day to day
Hands up seven shots to his chest
He ain't have a gun but you say he still was a threat
Five minutes you still got your knee up on his neck
How long it take for you to realize it before he's dead
And sometimes I just wanna unload the tech
But i'm gone do it how I know
Because we came a long ways from them slave ships
And singing them spirituals
And its been a long time coming
But i know a change gone come
Yeah a change gone come
My ancestors got hung from them trees
They steady putting blood on the leaves
Every night that's why I pray i'm on my knees
Pray to God that he helps us bring all the peace
Because we're tired of seeing our sisters and our brothers and our mothers and our Cousins being shot down in the streets
We got brought here from our homeland
Multiplied in numbers and now I feel like they want us all to leave
And if I see my brother fighting i'm gone fall in
Feeling like lil Baby the way I been all in
Tried to do it peacefully but now we're brawling
It's time to take a stand for problems that need solving
Mamma used to always tell me better be home before the street lights
Black kid in America you know that's how it be like
And I feel like the world will never change
But i'm still praying that we break through in Jesus name
That's them lights up in my rear view
Should I let blow thinking to myself they gone kill you
Because they're just judging you by your color they don't feel you
They ain't even met you they don't even know the real you oh
Wrong is wrong and right is right
I'm fighting for my people even if i gotta die tonight
And I pray to God that one day
That this world sees a change
And they say we all was equally made
But that's not how we're treated day to day
