Everything Changes

What do we really need
In this life?
I look at myself sometimes
Guess it's not right

People out there with no
Food at night
And we say we care, but we don't
So we all lie

What if there's more to this
And one day
We become what we do
Not what we say

And we end up in
All the shit that they're in
And roles are reversed
And it was different

And we were the ones
With nothing to eat
And we were the ones
With blood in our street

We were the ones
With all the offspring
And they were the ones
Just watching on TV

We were the ones
Broke down and torn
With our life on our back
And our wife in our arms

And they were the ones
Like damn that's so sad
We were the ones
Like

Nothing ever changes
Is the only thing I know
That nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And nothing ever changes, no
No, nothing ever changes

Look at your dreams
And your intentions
Selfish it is
For you to mention

Turning your thousands
Into millions
Marry a model
And you have some children

Well they've got their dreams too
I imagine
Like what if that won't come back
To kill them

Sleeping at night
Without a murder
In some little town
You've never heard of

Now look at your nightmares
All of your worst fears
Your car and your house
And your girl and it stops there

All these things
You can't imagine loosing
Like: Oh no
What if it happens to me?

Well what you've got
They've never had
To be like you
To have your chance
To be like you
Before they're gone

Nothing ever changes
At least that's how we act
Like nothing ever changes
Like: God has got our backs
Like nothing ever changes
I'm looking down this road
And I can see this pain is
It's only gonna grow

Maybe we need more
Shoes on our feet
Maybe we need more
Clothes and TVs

Maybe we need more
Cash and jewerly
Or maybe we don't know
What we need

Maybe we need
To want to fix this
Maybe stop talking
Maybe start listening

Maybe we need
To look at this world
Less like a square
And more like a circle

Maybe just maybe
God's not unfair
Maybe were all his kids
And he's up there

Maybe he loves us
For all our races
Maybe he hates us
When were all so racist

Maybe he sees us
When we don't care
And it's Heaven right here
But is Hell over there

And maybe the meek
Will inherit this earth
'Cuz it was written before

So everything changes
And nothing stays the same
No everything changes
And if you feel ashamed
Maybe you should change this
Before it gets too late
Maybe you should change this
My brother we're standing at the gate
Everything changes
Maybe you should change it
Everything changes
Everything changes
