| Song | Change Gonna Come |
| Artist | Grand Puba |
| Album | 2000 |
| Intro： | |
| Yeah positivity over comes negativity check it. | |
| A gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat | |
| So stop with the black on black (x2) | |
| Verse 1: | |
| We got black on black | |
| Black on crack | |
| Knowledge of self is what the black people lack | |
| Grew up in the projects with the welfare and the food stamps | |
| Modern day concentration camps | |
| Where we lost all our unity | |
| Because the negativity pulls us down like gravity | |
| Black people on eath others back | |
| Little shortie sedated thinkin' the way out is by selling cracks | |
| I seen black borthers cry like day by day the number multiply | |
| And the devil don't give a damn long as a black man kills another black man | |
| It makes his job more eaiser | |
| As the tick goes with the tock he's just gettin' sleezier and sleezier | |
| Here's a good example of yourself | |
| Talkin' about a devil on a record they put you on the shelf | |
| As long as you talk about "yo i bust this nigga and i bust that nigga" | |
| You grow bigger as a rap figure | |
| But that's still black on black welcome back | |
| It's time to graduate from that | |
| Hook: | |
| Change gon come change gon come time to free the dumb time to free the dumb | |
| (x3) | |
| Change gon come say what say what so get up out the slum | |
| Verse 2: | |
| Now let's deal on the real don't you set sick of this? | |
| The way we hate eachother the shit's rediculous | |
| It's time to move on to the next phase | |
| Cause there's too many shorties gettin' boxed in the grave | |
| Some think respect is an uzi or a tech | |
| But when he steals your intellect it's like a rope around your neck | |
| That's the 2000 tricknowledge | |
| That's the shit you won't learn in college brother | |
| You get to be strong you got to hold on | |
| You got to know the ledge before you hit the edge | |
| Time to get wise and civilize | |
| Open up your eyes all three eyes and recognzie | |
| What your doing all that bullshit you pursueing | |
| Put your whole life on ruin | |
| Let's kill the black on black vigga | |
| Cause it only gets us locked up or in the box quicker | |
| And that's ain't how you get the cheese | |
| Cause now ya locked up or gunned down by your enemy | |
| But i'm a deader that gat | |
| Remember a gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat | |
| Word is born | |
| Keep it true god keep it true (x8) | |
| Puba talking: | |
| Knowhati'msayin'? time to civilize you know get wise. think. stop and think | |
| Youknowhati'msayin'? no doubt. check it so just... | |
| Stop think, listen to the god hear what he's sayin'. (x2) | |
| Hook | |
| Outro: | |
| No doubt i'd like to send this one out to all the people still striving and | |
| Stugglin'to keep it real youknowhati'msayin'? not actin' like we keepin' it | |
| Real no doubt. peace and love. that's d on the hook off. |
