It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come
It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come

What more can I say? Will I see another day?
Will my children die by the pen or live by the blade?
My people catchin’ so many bullets I don’t know who to save
Who to save…who to save…who to save now?
I’ll stop Jackson right here and use his tears as polish
See how he likes it when his town gets demolished
I call it how I see it, man I’m just being honest
Some n***a in the future is going to keep it one hundred
Ménage e trois, just give me the ball
I’ll shake this spot like a house of cards
I know I shouldn’t get involved
But I got 99 problems only a gun can solve
Who’s the last man to enter with honest intentions?
Alexander the Great, I’m already a legend
I’ll conquer ‘til I die man who’s asking the question?
Give me an issue or a button, I’ll be happy to press it!

It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come
It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come
It’s revenge of the nerds when I spit this verse
We won with a groan, but lost with a curse
Thy foes themselves, but another one first
Woman's curse since birth, y’all lead her to the hearse, man
Who do I go to ask for my freedom?
What’s the point of rules if you don’t even read them?
They label us hunters, turned us into killers
Slaughtered our people and called us sinners?
Y’all butchered our name and then ate it for dinner
Cause it’s hard to lose when you’re already a winner
I got red on my skin like I won’t be missed
Like red won’t bleed from a cut on my wrist
Like you and your n***as are different from the Brits
Like we know the difference of who’s cracking the whip, man
Look me in the eyes while you talk that shit
I’ll put an arrow in your chest on some Skyrim shit, n***a!

Die!

I don't know what's up there…beyond the sky
Then I go to my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me please
It’s been too hard livin’, but I’m afraid to die
Please spare my mama, I don’t want to make her cry.”

It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come
It’s been a long, a long time comin’, comin’
But I know a change gonna come
