Ty Graves - A Change (feat. ADØE)

We're getting tired of the system
Injustice we've been given
We just been wanting a change
Mama's out here crying
Children killed from gun violence
We just been wanting a change
Police killing sisters and brothers
Just because our skin color
We just been wanting a change
And we not falling down for nothing
We gone stand for something
We gone be the change
We tired of waking up
Feeling like we're not safe enough
To do what we gotta do
For our families and neighborhoods
The police don't favor us
They so quick to label us
Sellers and bangers, huh
That's all that they make of us
Then when we make a fuss
We're considered dangerous
We taking care of us
The system wasn't made for us
Picked our ancestors up
Then separated us
Tell us we're equal
Then screaming go back to Africa
Cop pull his gun out
And he firing it
These kids in the streets
Because they tired of it
I refuse to see
My mama crying and shit
Cuz a cop wanna decide
That I'm hiding some shit
And our elected officials don't even care
They messing up the system
And messing up Donald Trump's hair
But that's just a little joke
But my main point here is stay woke
They gotta know
We're getting tired of the system
Injustice we've been given
We just been wanting a change
Mama's out here crying
Children killed from gun violence
We just been wanting a change
Police killing sisters and brothers
Just because our skin color
We just been wanting a change
And we not falling down for nothing
We gone stand for something
We gone be the change
If you want a change
You gotta be the change
It starts with you and me
Wanting the whole world to see
If you want a change
You gotta be the change
It starts with you and me
Wanting the whole world to see
How my sister suspicious
When she be at home sleeping
How my uncle suspicious
Selling CD's on the weekend
How my son suspicious
Playing with a water gun
How my brother suspicious
Going on a jog or run
Somebody tell me
When can we get some respect
Sir you know that I can't breathe
Why is your knee on my neck
Hell yeah we gone riot
How can't we be threatened
When they recorded bro dying
In 8 minutes and 46 seconds
Damn
We're getting tired of the system
Injustice we've been given
We just been wanting a change
Mama's out here crying
Children killed from gun violence
We just been wanting a change
Police killing sisters and brothers
Just because our skin color
We just been wanting a change
And we not falling down for nothing
We gone stand for something
We gone be the change
If you want a change
You gotta be the change
It starts with you and me
Wanting the whole world to see
Yeah
If you want a change
You gotta be the change
It starts with you and me
Wanting the whole world to see
Yeah
We're getting tired of the system
Injustice we've been given
We just been wanting a change
Mama's out here crying
Children killed from gun violence
We just been wanting a change
Police killing sisters and brothers
Just because our skin color
We just been wanting a change
And we not falling down for nothing
We gone stand for something
We gone be the change
We're getting tired of the system
Injustice we've been given
We just been wanting a change
Mama's out here crying
Children killed from gun violence
We just been wanting a change
Police killing sisters and brothers
Just because our skin color
We just been wanting a change
And we not falling down for nothing
We gone stand for something
We gone be the change
