My mama told me find a real job, 'cause I'm what I'm doing don't cut it Say she never seen a nigga get rich struggling and shit Just fussing and I ain't trying to hear that Leaving out the house, I peep the news and it's clear that If mama would have said a few words to them damn fools You wouldn't have them killers in the classroom The destructor of the innocent Praises be to God the beneficent Most merciful, and I would never question you But babies being shot down'll hurt a dude I know the devil's got her heels on But as I walk through the valley, I just feel home And life has got a funny way of testing A man of faith but all in all it's a blessing To walk up out the storm without a scratch on me And live to talk about my journey, where you at, homie? 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 (I'm not gon' lie, I'm getting scared now) I started burying my classmates I remember skipping classes in the 8th grade And walking to the Burger King at lunchtime And coming back before the bell rung, but one time We decided we was finna ditch the whole day And catch the metro to Sharpstown, I'll always Remember Kurtis beatboxing on the back seat Me freestyling, they knew every rapper that he Bring up to us, K run through us Man, I miss them old days, if one knew us You knew that we was destined for greatness Father's Day came, that's when God set to take him Too many dying young, no sequel And I have gone a many night sleepless Every page turned brings the ending One day closer, it's on you on how you spend it Sam was born by the 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, oh oh) So when is change gon' come? (When is change gon' come?) Somebody tell me, somebody tell me (And every day it's something different) It's either politics or one's religion (Yeah, yeah) We need to keep our guns in my opinion It's the people that you need to take control of You have the right to bear your arms what they told us It's tragic when an innocent is gunned down But Congress wants to take away our guns? Wow Now, what about off in Chicago? Huh? Them little children in Chicago Parents heart-broke, I pray I never know that feeling And although the truth is so revealing We push it to the side like we don't matter And that shit makes me madder That's right, my government Brad Jordan No different than a Trayvon Martin (no different) No different than a shot down leader Your picture of a blue-eyed Jesus

Awaken to the reality Left stranded, hope has vanished An opportunity for failure One day closer to the end of all life on this fucking planet Death obsessed! Infatuation with cessation Eternal rest, request for death at my behest Held close to the breast Clutched tight with all my might this Smith and Wesson Us humans never learn our lessons Possessed with deep aggression Self-hate, the great depression Confessing love for the end Why do we keep letting this life come between us? The years won't wipe away desire for the end times! Exit laughter Exit pleasure Exit appreciation What have we done to this world? All Hail Mortem! All Hail Silence! All Hail Death! Where have you been all our lives? One day closer To the final tragedy Born a life sentence of a Hell on Earth that we can't avoid Why do we keep letting this life come between us? The years won't wipe away desire for the end times! Lust for dying Lust for extinction Lusting for euthanasia What have we done to ourselves? We would never have asked for any of this A chemistry that's as black as any abyss Before our eyes, deep in our minds hope is swallowed A bleak despair in the air fills the hollows One day we all will mean nothing Shallow graves to tomb the suffering And the pale horse's reins pulling my heart strings We walk alone from natality until mortality We navigate lethality until fatality Everything that's now living will one day meet its demise Out of breath, out of time, a species out of its mind

Like the wind Running free We were lost, we had to believe No direction No place to be High on emotion Just you and me So light the fire, deep inside It doesn't matter where we're going, we're going Ultraviolet, deep desires I just wanna see you glowing, you glowing You know These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken We'll stay forever young Just hold on, hold on for life (hold on for life) These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken We're dreaming with our eyes wide open, open tonight Eyes wide open tonight Like a river Running deep Underwater, we're breaking free No direction Just you and me High on emotion like it used to be So light the fire, deep inside It doesn't matter where we're going, we're going Ultraviolet, deep desires I just wanna see you glowing, you glowing You know These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken (broken and young) We'll stay forever young Just hold on, hold on for life (hold on for life) These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken We're dreaming with our eyes wide open, open tonight Eyes wide open tonight Eyes wide open tonight You know These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken We'll stay forever young Just hold on, hold on for life These days are golden, golden and our Hearts won't be broken, broken We're dreaming with our eyes wide open, open tonight Eyes wide open tonight

In the morning, good morning love But when I wake up it's boring I'm bored of us I can't escape from you Boy your texts, they keep hittin' my phone More than obsessed, just let me sleep alone I'm trying my best to go live on our own, yeah Give me a chance to miss you Right now you're begging me to That's not what lovers do Give me a chance to miss you Right now you're begging me to That's not what lovers do Give me a chance Give me a chance Step forward and five back You got me off track Couldn't move slower You would've liked that Now I'm in the back, back of your mind You keep hittin' my phone I might be obsessed, don't wanna sleep alone I'm trying my best, my best to live alone, yeah Give me a chance to miss you Right now you're begging me to That's not what lovers do Give me a chance to miss you Right now you're begging me to That's not what lovers do Give me a chance Give me a chance I try, I try, I try That's not what lovers do Give me a chance to miss you Right now you're begging me to That's not what lovers do Give me a chance Give me a chance

It's hard to count the nights since you left Only been living in my head Sleeping in the city in this bed Just don't feel right without you Been holding on way too long I don't wanna let go Moving on feels so wrong So I'm gonna stay close I'm waiting for I'm waiting for I'm waiting for the day I'm waiting till you come back home And say your mind is changed I will leave all the lights on I will be there at the door I'm waiting for I'm waiting for Waiting for that day Waiting for that day Waiting for that day I'm waiting for I'm waiting for Friends are telling me I'm obsessed But they don't understand what we had I don't wanna lose or forget, a single thing about you Been holding on way too long I don't wanna let go Moving on feels so wrong So I'm gonna stay close I'm waiting for I'm waiting for I'm waiting for the day I'm waiting till you come back home And say you're mind is changed I will leave all the lights on I will be there at the door I'm waiting for I'm waiting for Waiting for that day Waiting for that I'm waiting for the day
