(Carl Thomas)
I was born by the river.. in a little tent
No just like that river I've.. been running ever since
It's been a long.. a long time coming
But I knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will..
It's been tooooooo hard living
But I'm afraid to die..
Cause I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky
It's been a long tiiiime.. a long time coming
But I knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will..
And I go.. to my brother (yes I do)
And say, "Brother - help me please" (well well)
But he winds up, knocking me..
I got on my knees, oahhhoooohhhhh
There's been times, that I thought
I wouldn't last too long..
(C) Capone-N-Noreaga
.. but I think I'm able
(C) Son we gotta do this
.. to carry on..
It's been a long..
(C) It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time since you heard Capone-N-Noreaga right?
A long time coming, but I knowowowww..
(C) It's like you my n***a though
A change gon' come..
(C) We starved for too long baby
Oh yes it will..
(C) Mami and Mambo..
