Intro:
I know I can change
I know I can change
I know
I know
I know I can change
Valentino
(Tino)
I'm here
I ain't have to be
So it's a change
That occurred somewhere
In my life
Cause I know
U dig?
Verse 1: Valentino
Spiritual beings
On this earth plane
Open your eyes
I promote change
No boundaries
I'm in both lanes
Valentino
Get to know the name
Once broke
But I got fixed
Started slow
But I've gained sense
Used to bang
But that's past tense
Got some time?
Let me gone vent
I dun been through so much
Miss my mommas touch
Did some bogus things then
But I've grown up
Ain't who I used to be
I am living proof
That you can't escape the real
Of hide the truth
My praying grandma
On her knees
Saying God please
Bless her grandson
And give him room to breathe
Cause these ghetto streets
Is full of hate and greed
Love and properity
That's all we need
Poem 1 Shanta:
The world teaches us
How to fear
How to hate
How to lust
We no longer seek understanding
We take everything
At face value
Underminding the true reason
Of our existence
We are the creators
Innovators
Teachers
Leaders
Queens
And Kings
Verse 2 Bobby Gore:
I say
I know I can do it
I know I can do it
Get it through the pot
Or maybe Narok
We choose to rob
And they took our blocks
Now we got these guns
Surrounded by cops
Wooo!
Pa**ion's dying for
Pacifiers and diapers
Predictive dicks
People depend on
Parties determined to
Prove darkness
Places demons in a
Perfect ditch
I'm serving the
Perfect dish for
Prescribing us deadliness
You pa**ive descriptivist
Damn!
How'd we get into this
First we had us three masters
Then we started picking green after
To cope with the pain
It's a gat'damn
We some free ba*tards
Community organizers
Gotta campaign
Yea!
All it takes is eight years
For a lil change
I say!
Poem 2 Armen Rah:
It was said
If you can't change the people around you
Then change the people around you
That'll relieve a lot of stress
What I'm saying
If you can't change the people around you
Then gone ahead and change your mind
I mean
You change your clothes everyday
But can't even change your address?
Change is Necessary
Nothing remains the same
Everything must change
Must sound strange
But
If you don't change
You don't transform
To stay still
Is to die
To lie dormant
Is to sleep
Change is necessary for evolution
Change is necessary for growth
Change is necessary for enlightenment
