I Know I Been Changed (feat. Gary Clark Jr.) [Music From The Motion Picture "American Skin"]

I know I been changed (know I been changed) I know I been changed (know I been changed) I know I been changed You know the angels in heaven done signed my name, well Well, tell me what are we supposed to do? We've been marching instead of shooting since Martin Luther Our necks been in Nooses that's never loosened Our Freedom seems elusive We're due for a revolution Can't find a single solution with in this crooked constitution, well It hasn't been that long since you acknowledged me as a human Three-fifths can't compromise or demoralize our contributions You call us thugs and gangsters to justify when you shoot us Well everything you say I am You about to turn me into it, yeah Well, you don't believe that I been redeemed You know the angels in heaven done signed my name Well, follow me down to that old Jordon stream You know the angels in heaven done signed my name I know I been changed You know that I know I been changed Good Lord I know I been changed You know the angels in heaven done signed my name Well You see, riots ain't changing rules and looting's not changing laws Marches ain't helping shit 'cause they fight us with fire arms So maybe we should go get a license to fire ours And turn the gangstas and the mob to a ghetto national guard We pressing all oppressors that stretch us 'cause it's their job To detect us by complexion and strip us from who we are If I pull a gun on you and you aim one back at my dome And we shot at the same time whose side would God be on? I know I been changed You know that I know I been changed Good Lord, I know I been changed You know the angels in heaven done signed my name Amen
