Change Gonna Come

(album: B.o.B Vs. Bobby Ray - 2009)

[Hook:]
It's been a long...
A long time coming but I know
Change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come,
Change gonna come [x2]

[Charles Hamilton:]
President to my cerebellum,
So I reach out to her listeners and my mission is I betta tell'em
Our fear of a free mind is hearing and spirit can die anytime you need to cry so you hide it deep inside
Reason why?
How can you change what was writtin?
Easy, don't focus your brain on what they mentioned
I got so used to tryna make thru
I feel like I'm cheatin when I'm face with a break thru
The man in the mirror keep sayin I hate you
I respond like lil nigga I made you
Slay those sayin they could break you so when I take a break I go ape come back and play fool
When they think they won that's when I question
Change is iminit I evolve so it's nuthin
What's the discusion
Charles hamilton

[Hook:]
Change gonna come, change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come,
It's been a long...
A long time coming but I know change gonna come, change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come

[Asher Roth:]
We've been calm since ever since columbus could'ntwork a compass
We've acomplished what we conjured up while conscious
And consciously we conquerd all the eye can see
Constantly concoting more options but jobs are still obsent leaf
It seems so odd to me and odyssey how honesty is honestly the rivrest thing upon us it's astonishing
How did all the honest people vonshish from the plonet?
Leaving us a laundry list of problems to acknowledge
While plotting with my phonics me and sonic and bob
Non chomp and vises as I sit down and sketch my rhymes
Stretch my mind to figure out what's next in line
The next emyay and andre?
Nah homie it's just been a long...
A long time commin...

[Hook:]
But I kno change gonna come
Change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come
It's been a long...
A long time comin but I kno
Change gonna come, change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come

[B.o.B:]
While as you listenin to this track
You probably about to blog about it maybe say it's wack
Or maybe compare the verses to see which one of us wud snap
Completly ignoring the fact that this is way more than rap
Cause I happen to be on a magazine you happen to see this issue
Some people wish you well man some people turn against you
Some people even call up to the station just to diss you
You bitch you, you only mad at your self heres a tissue
But that ain't even my focus man that hate ain't on my menue
I'm in a different city about to rock a different venue
My girl sent me a text message just to say "I miss you"
It won't be long before I'm home baby but the rents due, ha ha ha

[Hook:]
It's been a long...
A long time coming but I know change gonna come,
Change gonna come, change gonna come,
Change gonna come [x2]
