Gonna Make a Change

See the kids in the street with not enough to eat Who am I to be blind? Pretending not to see their needs... This remind me of the block party, back in the day we used to jam the most Used to plug the music into the lampost I reminisce too much but if a man don't He might forget where he came from and can't approach The place he tryna go, a wise man won't I ain't at the top yet but I'm so damn close My bros honest, so modest, I can't boast Fast food I can't coat, I took home cooking for granted Cause I couldn't imagine, These girls can't cook They so into fashion, I like 'em cause I'm so into passion But man when I was growin' up my mama was multi-tasking She was frying chicken while holding the phone Between her face and shoulder and smokin' a bone Combing my sister's hair, she think she's grown But her hair was so nappy, it broke the comb! Gonna make a change... For once in my life... It's gonna feel real good... Gonna make a difference... Gonna make it right... R.I.P. to Luther Vandross A house ain't a home without yo fam close I get phone calls saying: "Pap come save me I hear you on the radio you're buzzing like crazy I'm out here in the jungle with me gun of safety Repping for your name, these niggas can't take me." Reply: "I'm still tryna save myself The industry is all fam, don't mistake it for wealth." Couple days later, I heard somebody laid him Thinking to myself: "Maybe I coulda saved him?" Some say they never change, but let money change them They change for the worst so they start fating Some niggas go to jail and come home praising The most high telling you he's so amazing Some people spend their whole life committing the same sin I guess it'll only take death to change them Gonna make a change... For once in my life... It's gonna feel real good... Gonna make a difference... Gonna make it right...
