Change Gone Come (from "American Skin" soundtrack)

[Mabvuto Carpenter:]
Sam was born by the river
Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
So when is change gon' come?
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me

[Snoop Dogg:]
They throw the rock, hide they hand and wait for you to trip
Then show the worst on the news, "Look y'all, he was a Crip"
Now what am I supposed to do when family's on the line?
And how am I to stay calm with that still on my mind?
Bodies dropping by the dozens
The people sworn to protect is killing all my cousins
For that, I keep my head on a swivel, Dogg's out the kennel
Don't you want revenge just a little? Shit
What do you tell a mother in pain who lost a child
By the hands of the people she called?
For a situation across the street
When all he did was walk over to keep the peace? Cold game
Now she gotta live with seeing that whole thing
Nobody got charged for the murder more pain
They wonder why we out here tripping
The least of your worries should be me and my Cripping, nigga

[Mabvuto Carpenter:]
Sam was born by the river
Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
So when is change gon' come?
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me

[Bad Lucc:]
As the world comes crashing down around you
You're sitting in that fire like nothing here can down you
You find ease in pain and some comfort, this life has consumed you
It's dark everywhere you look, my tears amuse you
You've gotta break free from that trap, but trust, I get it
When hopeless start shaping your focus, life is wicked
I used to be that type of guy who smiled in all the pictures
And then I had my face where I would drown it out in liquor
Told the world that I would be the man, and baby, I will
I tend to talk to the ancestors when I'm praying for real
Hoping for better, while capitalists capitalize
You had a heart of gold once, don't matter the size
They put the pressure on a younging, younging grew up to kill
And put that younging in a prison just to ruin his will
See, it's the hard pill to swallow and faith is your throttle
Still find myself praying for tomorrow

[Mabvuto Carpenter:]
Sam was born by the river (River)
And Martin, he had a dream
But that don't mean there will be harmony
Just because the choir sings
They say that change gon' come
(Change gon' come, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So when is change gon' come? (Change gon' come)
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me

Looking for a change to come
(When is change gon' come?)
Somebody tell me
Change gon' come, oh, oh, oh yeah
(When is change gon' come?)
When is change gon' come? (Somebody tell me)
