[Chorus] People gotta change People gotta change, people gotta change, people gotta change People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better [Verse 1] Living in a world where people don't care Who you are, why you are on welfare Governors, governments, all the same Playing for keeps to get money and to gain While children are crying and starving for food I think it's totally acceptable, is why it's so rude Parents trying to raise kids with money they don't own I'm making a mission, spread the word on the microphone The world's so corrupted and full of evil It's so sad to see people losing their faith Trying to make ends meet with little they got Living day by day like a "have or have not" See the poor man on the corner begging in the streets While the cars going by like it's some kind of dead beat People gotta change, people gotta change Before the world becomes dark and deranged [Chorus] People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better [Verse 2] Hear it every day, child running away From a home that's once lived in a long way Thugs in hoods doing what they do Not giving one thought about the public's point of view The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer As work every day, sweating we endure Crimes and greed grow from us like a weed Beating from a head that we're going to see A child been kidnapped from home or away Finding out the father's been bailed that day The hate and rage like we're going in trigger If we don't generalize, the problem's getting bigger I'm just a white boy just spitting to this beat Are people going to listen to all the heat? Are people gotta change, people gotta change Before the world becomes dark and deranged [Chorus] People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better People gotta change the way we talk People gotta change the way we live People gotta change the way we work together It's up to us to make the world better [Verse 3] 9/11, a very tragic day Pains and tears, remember and pray Flames of fire burning in raw As two towers crumbled into the floor A drunk driver charged with a DUI Finding out from tests he was stoned and high US crashes and slides in recession Our homes and money are being a threat Running over a torch down in Frisco Protest activists ranting like a disco Our DJing party for a friend Comes to a halt as gunshots descend I pray to the Lord and beg and say
