Change Is Gonna Come Songtext

von DMX

[** feat. Swizz Beatz]

[Sam Cooke & DMX]
I was born by the river in a little tent*
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

[Hook]
Change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come
Ch-ch-ch-ch-change gon come

[Verse 1: ~DMX~]
Man, shit slipped through the cracks
I flipped through the tracks
Lay it in the studio, flip through the wax
It's time to bring the dark to the light
Change gon come but not without a fight
Niggas say one thing than do another
Stab me in the back but say you my brother
Shit ain't the same no more, it's different
Eh, eh, eh, eh man fuck all the riffing
I got a point to prove and moves to make
Knew for a long time you dudes was fake
I know a motherfucking snake when I see one
They look like one and move like one
So you gotta be one

[Repeat Hook]

[Verse 2: ~DMX~]
Man, I played this game, then played that one
Fell for a minute but bounced right back son
Can't hold down the dog for long
Change gon come, that's the name of the song
You know what it is, cause you knew what it was
Let a nigga go, I'm a do what it does
Niggas sellin' they soul just to get a buzz
I fucks with you blood, I fucks with you cause
I'm out that [?] that's built for war
BFW, kickin' in the door
We don't take no for an answer
I'm a go hard cause I have to
Pull guard? and I'm a clap ya

[Repeat Hook]

[Verse 3: ~DMX~]
Man, niggas get so caught up in their bullshit
They don't know what's going on around them
Fake niggas I found them
Industry's moving in a different direction
Kinda like a bitch with an erection
Niggas been phoney for so long
Actin like they know me for so long
Time for cats to roll on
Here's new writing on the wall
I can't fuck with you for real
I can't fuck with you at all

[Repeat Hook]
