Change - J. Cole
词曲：Jermaine Cole
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
Yeah
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
I like this tone
Yeah my intuition is telling me there'll be better days
I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate
My fears alleviate my tears evaporate
My faith don't deviate ideas don't have a date
But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step
As we speak I'm at peace no longer scared to die
Most don't believe in God and so they terrified
It's either that or they be fearing they gon' go to hell
Asking the father for forgiveness God
I'm overwhelmed
As if he's spiteful like them white folks that control the jail
See I believe if God is real he'd never judge a man
Because he knows us all and therefore he would understand
The ignorance that make a take his brother's life
The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife
I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from
Yeah my chosen religion Jesus piece frozen from sinnin'
Doin' dirt hoping to God he know my intentions
To see a million 'fore I see a casket
I got a baby on the way know he gon' be a bastard
I'm living fast like I'm in a drag race how that cash taste
When I was a senior I was ballin' on my classmates
Put three bullets in my car one hit the gas tank
Know I got a angel cause I'm supposed to have a halo
Right now my lifestyle destined for a federal facility
For my ability to make them birds fly
Fiends wanna get higher than a bird's eye view
And who am I tell a what to do
I just supply it's economics
My business ain't got the suit and tie
Keep a pistol at all times want what's mine
I can't oblige dog I work too hard
So reach for it get referred to God I'm going hard
I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from
Yeah prodigal son got a new gun this one
Don't run out of ammo lately been working on my handles
Can I ball become a star and remain my self
If I fall dust it off and regain my self
F**k ''em all they don't know all the pain I felt
I'm in awe after all the fame I felt I evolve
I no longer bury demons I be a vessel for the truth
Until I'm barely breathing I'm singing
Life is all about the evolution
I give up I give in I move back a little
I live up I look up now I'm back for more
You can dream but don't neglect the execution
I give up I give in I move back a little
I live up I look up now I'm back for more
Time is short that's what somebody told me
I give up I give in I move back a little
I live up I look up now I'm back for more
Too short to keep following your homies
I give up I give in I move back a little
I live up I look up now I'm back for more
I reminisce back to a time where threw they hands
All of a sudden pop a trunk and then we scram
Finger on trigger make a little understand
What it's like to finally be the motherf**kin' man
Eyes wide that's from the power that the coward feels
Die over bitches disrespecting dollar bills
Bloodshed that turned the city to a battlefield
I call it poison you call it real
That's how you feel
Pistols be poppin' and drop in a heartbeat
Scattered like roaches a body laid on the concrete
Body laid on the concrete
Look somebody laid on the concrete
No time for that ain't no lookin' back cause I'm running too
I made it home I woke up and turned on the morning news
Overcame with a feeling I can't explain
Cause that was my James that was slain he was 22
Last night at around
He was 22
