[Intro: Asher Roth]
So I've got a few things on my chest, right?
And instead of rapping about how great I am all the time
I decided I'd bring a friend through
My man John Mayer
(What up, John?)
We wanted to tell you guys what we've been waiting on

[Chorus: John Mayer & Asher Roth]
That's why we're waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waited so long)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care (It's not that we don't care)
We just know that the fight ain't fair (I feel you, John)
So we keep on waiting (Actually, let me-let me say something)
Waiting on the world to change
(Check it, yo)

[Verse: Asher Roth]
Yeah, they say we got no motives
These pot smoking dopes with no hope for us to grow into grown ups
But I plan to show 'em that I know it
When I'm not smoking weed I have reason to believe there are people that are decent
Achieve to succeed, they read to decrease
The ignorance significance of cutting down the trees
Recycling recyclables that help break the cycle of what's rightfully destroying our world
I wanna tell the boys and girls the future of our Earth
We're hurting the world with every second that we burn
Unlearning what we've learned at birth to be a good person
Respect is what we deserve but first we must earn it
And it is earnest we've turned things around
Put a hand out and pull it off the ground
Until then we can all do the same
I'll be right here waiting on the world to change, come on
[Chorus: John Mayer & Asher Roth]
And we're still waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

[Outro: Asher Roth & Don Cannon]
