We need to get it clean again. Kids in Africa. I wonder when they'll eat again. We need to stand together. Back up on our feet again. This the shit that made me wanna hop up on a beat again. It's always on my mind. We're so lucky that we're blessed. Just know it could be worse when you get a little stressed and you Can't take it. Just can't take it. Looking at the dry wall. You just wanna break it but Let me get back here's my thoughts bout pollution It's getting real bad. Think we need a solution. Getting real crazy think it needs an institution All this money on the war got me caught up in confusion. Shipped overseas. Got his bags. Get to packing. Talking to his kids they were smiling and laughing Never knew next day, daddy's killed in action. Wife gets the news and her body gets collapsing. All these donations. What about cancer? My own mother got it so they better find an answer. Rich people say: Gonna buy a car today. Wish I could change the world but it's so far away (Chorus) Verse 2: So Far Away but I can see it from a distance. We can bring it back with a little persistance Know you're not alone I'm here for your assistance We can be the ones who change human existance Never be forgotten Put us down in history Who we are and what we do it still remains a mystery Put the problems in the oven, cook it like rotisserie To say I made a change, that's a false victory What about the people who don't get a chance to work Dishing out the rock or they stealing someone's purse Trying to feed their kid cuz their little tummy hurts They don't wanna lose em too cuz it only makes it worse Gettin no money now the house is an eviction And the parents just spent all the rent on addictions This can't be real. Please tell us that it's fiction Every night they come home to no food in the kitchen Be the change you wanna see, something like Gandhi Ain't that why we chose Obama over Romney? You're judged by your looks and you're judged by the wealth To change the world, first you gotta change yourself (chorus)
