In order to change the world, We need to change our selves,

But its like we destined to fail, In a place called home,

But we living in hell, where kids to have mothers or fathers,

raised by grandpas and grandmas, where kids dont live to see 18, 

killed in these streets, by the lama because of the drama,

feeling lost feeling hopless, no where to go, searching for some change, 

the pastor be telling lies, he tryna sell you hope,

he tell you to invest, or you gone lose your sell,

now he got a new car, so you take em as a joke, I dont believe in no gimmicks,

Ima fight until I'm finished, If change is what you want then you better go get it, 

painting yall pictures of images in my head, 

and where I come from, they fill yo body up with lead, then they leave you left for dead, 

Now somebody's mother crying, Cuz her son is just dying, 

His body is just lying, Its all over the ground, 

You can hear the sirens coming, but, its too late,

His heart stopped beating, Looked his mother in her eyes and then he stopped breathing,

So what is change? when growing up seeing violence and killings everyday.........
