[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, listen, listen, listen)
It's all about to change, yeah (Yeah)
London, yeah, listen (Woo, woo!)
From West Kent to West Coast, to LA
Yeah, with Thayod beats bumpin' everyday
Listen, yeah, yeah
Start wildin'
[Verse 1]
Listen, all I need is one microphone to one mic standees alone
It's through this medium, I speak my mind
Though I'm takin' everyday as blessed and everyday as dope
Whether I'm wakin' up smilin' or I'm tired 'til the mornin'
I have to keep it movin', I have to keep my shit correct
'Member all the things you said I wouldn't get?
Got it, yeah? Sing it
[Pre-Chorus]
Why is everybody so envious?
Because she in the West plannin' on takin' over the rest
You'd be hard-pressed to find another girl like me
Changed the style a few times, I hold it down right, you see?
From the bottom spittin', trust
Believe me when I say that
The revolution started bridgin'
It's here to stay, bruv (Tell the world)
[Chorus]
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that
You know you see the signs, you better get your act right (Tell the world)
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that (Yeah)
You know you see the signs, you better get your act right
[Verse 2]
Stand up and be counted
You need to keep your head from out the mountains
Just for all my people strugglin' to count some housin'
Designed to keep you in tact, hustlin' to pay your rent (Then what?)
They tell you that you can buy it then pile it at your expense
So when you try and get help, they're gonna tell you to cross
Charge ya all the way, entire too, you're always at a loss
You're stuck between a rock and coldest trenches
One heart is the other
No escape for my little cousins and brothers
It's time to change the way your life goes, right?
From the age of thirteen, you got the choices you all like
Don't let the past rule you (Uh-uh), choose your own rule too
It's somethin' you know what I'm sayin'
It's somethin' that you should do, this is true, listen (Tell the world)
[Chorus]
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that
You know you see the signs, you better get your act right (Yeah, yeah, Tell the world)
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that
You know you see the signs, you better get your act right
[Verse 3]
So now there's planes hittin' buildings, fire in the sky
Lord, help the children, tell them not to cry
Please give me another try, keep my heart right
Lord, I need wisdom, teach me how to write
Write to change lives, I'ma keep on steppin'
Let my footprints show a little piece of heaven
I'm strivin' to reach the seven on this route
To keep my family fed and people out the jail, listen
[Bridge]
To all of your drama (All of your drama)
And all of your pain (And your pain)
If you keep on pressing (Come on, uh)
You'll see what's to gain (See this)
Said nothin' is promised (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
To anything, but one thing is set down and that is change (Tell the world)
[Chorus]
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that (Shouldn't be, no)
You know you see the signs (You can see it), you better get your act right (You better get it right, tell the world)
Change is comin', shouldn't be the one that's found that (You shouldn't be, no)
You know you see the signs, you better get your act right (Get it right)
[Outro]
Get it right, get it right, listen (Get it right, get it right)
See, North London, yo, West London
Yeah, East London, South London
Great Britain, come on, come on (Get it right, get it right)
You're the soul queen!
NY, NY, Philly, Philly, LA, say what?
Yeah, Africa (Africa), come on, yeah, what, ha, yeah
Say this that EST, come on E, now we're dropping it, ha, ha
You ready? You ready?
(Tell the world)
