We / Me

(album: Introducing Stokley - 2017)

Ho yeah
Ho yeah
Ah
Dana, dana, dana
Ah

Let me just take a minute
To tell you what's on my mind
Seems like people are afraid to live
'Cause they too afraid to die
People struggling, people hustling
Some even doing a bunch of nothing
They done gave up on possibilities
You got to be the change you wanna be

I'll start with me
I'll start with me
I'll start with me
I'll start with me, oh

We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Won't somebody help me now?
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Won't somebody say it now?
We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Help me now, say it loud
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Oh yeah

Murder rate at an all-time high
Working two jobs and barely getting by
Scared to drive and frightened to fly
Afraid to fail so you won't even try
Too much information but not enough truth
Illusions of grandeur are numbing our youth
A video, these days, is not enough proof
I'm not complaining, just contemplating

I'll start with me (I'll start with me)
I'll start with me (I'll start with me)
I'll start with me (I'll start with me)
I'll start with me, don't you think we need it?

We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Won't somebody help me now?
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Start with me, won't somebody say it now?
We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Help me now, say it loud
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Oh

[?] love and kindness
Patience at its finest
I extend my hand to those in need
Because I know change starts with me
Help the children and the mothers
The fathers, sisters and the brothers
Which is the only way we do you're gonna be free

We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Won't somebody help me now?
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Hey, won't somebody say it now?
We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Help me now, say it loud
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
With me, with me, with me, change
We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Change
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Help to spread the change in the world
We need change and I'm gonna start with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We need real change and I'm gonna start with me
Real change

What's up is down
What's down is up
We've had enough
We need it
