lyrics

​(Verse 1)

People in the town say it don't exist,
Yet they grab a wristband, and they ball up they fist,
As if, they doing change, do they really give a fuck?
Yo Retweeting News articles is surely not enough.

Gotta show up to rally. And Build with the people.
Let uncle sam know, We are not created equal.
Cuz, We in a world where you get killed by police,
Yo its black and brown kids in the belly of the beast.

Black and brown kids get thrown in the pen,
Others quick to grab the piece, while my weapon is the pen.
My weapon is the mic, my weapon be the tongue,
I'll be fighting for the power until all the work is done.

And yo i cant front, many times i be sluffin.
Lately I've been more stressed out so often.
A lot on my mind, Many which be the same
Struggles we've been fighting for years, it don't change.

(Chorus) 2x
The Change don't front,
Unless you do.
Unless you do.
You do.
The Change don't front,
Talking about you.
Talking about you.
About you.

(Verse 2)

AYo check it, the change of the hood is so real.
Soufend beacon hill right next to boeing field.
The planes flying over be a constant reminder,
I gotta put in work to get my inner fire higher.

Im from the city with gentrification.
And taxation, economy inflation.
The pain that i feel when a restaurant close.
The CD and soufend, know how i feel, you know

So many federals, tryna get me off track,
They lack stamina, theomatic bounce back.
Ima Son of revolution in case you forgot,
I, killem off, red dots on corrupt cops.

How I do it, how I do it so militant.
kasamas in the back crack a smile cuz they feelin it.
like Andres, cuz we stay so alive, wow.
Tryna shoot us, man fuck your 45 cal

(Chorus) 2x

The Change don't front,
Unless you do.
Unless you do.
You do.
The Change don't front,
Talking about you.
Talking about you.
About you.
