Change

Lyrics

[Intro: Daniel Merriweather] La, la-la-la, la La, la-la-la La, la-la-la, la La, la-la-la [Verse 1: Daniel Merriweather] I saw a dried up river and a rich man Turnin' on a garden hose I see a young man pickin' up a gun I guess that's where the money goes, yeah Am I just as good as a bad man Sleepin' while the rest are dyin'? Yeah Or am I just as bad as a good man Sayin' there's no use in tryin'? Yeah [Refrain: Daniel Merriweather] (Ooh) Tell me, do you still believe (Ooh) Everything that you read? [Pre-Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Till we learn to get together And see who we really are [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start askin' who's in charge Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, yeah [Post-Chorus: Wale, Daniel Merriweather] And ain't shit changin' but diapers on babies Get higher than the background singers singin' La, la-la-la, la (Huh, singin') La, na-na-na (Okay, singin') [Verse 2: Daniel Merriweather] Some people do it all for money And some do it all for the love, yeah Some do it all for the glory 'Cause nothin' else they're thinkin' of I saw a man in a four-door truck Complainin' that the price is high Like a well-feed man with a spoon in his hand Sayin', "Who ate all the apple pie?" Yeah [Refrain: Daniel Merriweather] (Ooh) Tell me, do you still believe, yeah (Ooh) Everything that you read? [Pre-Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Till we learn to get together And see who we really are [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start askin' who's in charge Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change La-la, la, la-la-la-la, la, la, yeah [Verse 3: Wale] Uh, if I ain't ready to listen, I'm never gonna listen Most follow intuition while they wishin' it would work And my vision is imperfect, so I don't ever look for it They all wishin' for some change like a church worker Hallelujah, preacher, I am not influenced If I don't donate to your movement, am I not improving? And while the poor kill the poor for a portion A piece of American society pie, I get high The munchies I got, so bear witness I got this girl lookin' at you 'cause my ribs kissin' Mwah, and I ain't ready to wait When there's dollars on their brain, why would you expect change? [Pre-Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Till we learn to get together And see who we really are [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change If nobody's gonna wake up And start askin' who's in charge Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change Ain't nothin' gonna change No, no, yeah [Outro: Wale, Daniel Merriweather] And ain't shit changin' but diapers on babies Get higher than the background singers singin' La, la-la-la, la (Singin') La, la-la-la
