It's the way it is but not the way it should be
I've been waiting for changes but nothing seems to change
And I've been waiting with strangers we all feel the same
And I've been waiting for summer but all I get is rain
I'll keep on waiting for changes to help me with the pain
All I see is racist faces cause this human race is stuck in the matrix
Wake up, stay up, no wonder why they hate us
Try to separate us and keep us slaves to the paper
While the rich are getting richer I'm painting a picture of real life
What it feels like labeled a sinner
Labeled a nigga cause they fear me
Be afraid been praying for better days
I'm just hoping that you hear me
I've been waiting for changes but nothing seems to change
And I've been waiting with strangers we all feel the same
And I've been waiting for summer but all I get is rain
I'll keep on waiting for changes to help me with the pain
I see no changes
I see no changes
I see no changes
I see no changes
Crooked cops want to see me popped
I'd rather team up with the opps to protect the block
All these protests with the same outcome
I treat women with respect 'cause I came out one
If you could read between the lines you could see between the lies
Fill the news with the blues put fear in front of our eyes
My whole country on fire all the animals dying
The prime minister lying while the rich are surviving
Now we under water no food for my daughter
No home where the heart is but we can't afford it
No hope won't ignore us no
Don't be afraid been praying for better days
It's time to make a change I'm just hoping that you hear me
I've been waiting for changes but nothing seems to change
And I've been waiting with strangers we all feel the same
And I've been waiting for summer but all I get is rain
I'll keep on waiting for changes to help me with the pain
Wake up and I ask myself, is life worth living? Should I blast myself?
Am I really being myself? I don't want to be nobody else
They want to put my mind in a cell
Where's heaven when you're going through hell
Love's the only thing that could help
You feel it like its written in braille
Still I see no changes
I see no changes
I see no changes
I see no changes
