I want you to know
What's happening to us today
I don't see any American dream
I see an American nightmare
But we gonna change that baby
We want a change
We want a change
Throughout the country
We want a change
We want a change
Change
I'm talkin' about some real change
And people whether you believe it or not
I want you to know
What's happening to us today
I don't see any American dream
I see an American nightmare
But we gonna change that baby
We want a change
We want a change
Throughout the country
We want a change
We are sick and tired
Of seeing people shot down
In the name of law and order
All across the country
I want you to know
What's happening to us today
I don't see any American dream
I see an American nightmare
But we gonna change that baby
If I hate you
Because you hate me
I'm no better than you are
And I don't hate a person
Because they hate me
I'll try to free that person too
I don't see all people as bad
And I don't hate a person
Because they hate me
We are a part of America
But we do want to be treated
As human beings
And I'm fighting for human rights
Not for equal rights
We want a change
We want a change
Throughout the country
We want a change
We want a change
Change
And people whether you believe it or not
A house divided against itself cannot stand
A nation that's divided against itself cannot stand
And its two past midnight
And we on our way out
I don't see any American dream
I see an American nightmare
But we gonna change that baby
