Bettis: You ask if I’m my brother’s keeper
T2E: I was raised to believe that I am my sister’s keeper
Bettis: I keep him by my side
T2E: So I progress but look back to make sure that I can reach her
Bettis: You say war is not the answer
T2E: They’re telling us to keep the peace & stop the violence, it won’t solve any problems
Bettis: But yet continue to fight
T2E: But we’re running out of options, ‘cause the methods we’re trying ain't working, & my people in my city we’re hurting
Bettis: Peace amongst humanity,
T2E: Everybody’s seeking peace but no one’s willing to change
Bettis: Is what I pray.
T2E: Everybody’s seeking relief but no one’s willing to pray
Bettis: Times are changing
T2E: The generation before keeps reminding us things how different things are
Bettis: With every step we take
T2E: But no one’s willing to show us the way
So move on, stand strong
A Change Will Come
Jobs, healthcare, & housing, Look how far we’ve come
But we still must go further, The battle has just begun
Freedom of choice, Still being decried
Times are changing, With every step & every stride
TheSeKondElement:
I’m so tired of being tired, not knowing what to expect
Everyday another problem, shit is weighing on my chest
As the murder rate is climbing, we rising, accruing debt
Obligations to humanity, infinite bounced checks
We’ve come to cash in, we want every last bit of change
We running out of time, we can’t let things stay the same
And the longer we wait the less our future is promised
And I’m too young to go now I got some things left to accomplish
So I’m holding on, yea I’m standing strong
But the babies asking me what the hell is going on
I wanna give ‘em answers, but I ain't got none for myself
I’m still wondering why 12 men control all of the wealth
And why every politician’s better qualified to help
And why this stressing over marriage just ain’t good for my health
This gap between generations got our world degenerating
if we Kould see the resolution is better communication
Maybe we’d have a few answers to the queries that I’m statin
Each side Kould have a chance to lead their own interrogation
'Cause at this rate we won’t make it, I’m done waiting for a change
Gotta make it happen now, I can’t let things stay the same
When I speak about The Ten Percent I don’t mean to sound like an elitist
I’m just trying to get you to understand that we actually believe this
Yes. We Have the audacious ideology & Unremitting Belief in the Revolutionary power of Inspiration to Stimulate change
HUBRIS
Because it takes a little bit of arrogance to embark on a journey that requires a lifestyle of putting others first
And believing that we have the power to make a difference in their lives
We do this.
They talk, we walk
We prove this.
Every single day we live our lives outside of the box in hopes of transforming the world we live in.
And we’re qualified for the job because we’re aware all we have to do is use the talents we’ve been given.
What everyone else seems to be missin' is that we’ve been charged with a mission
And we can’t stop until every last goal has Kome to fruition
And our work will live on even after our time here is finished, because we are planting seeds that our successors will cultivate
So that generations to Kome will be slow to make, the same mistakes that we once owned.
Results of inept decisions because we didn’t know.
Now that we’re conscious these dreams take on a life of their own.
Now we can say we no longer merely wish or hope.
But we believe that as sure as the setting of the sun
That one day CHANGE WILL COME
If you want to see change, be change
And if you want to see an improvement then improve
And if you’re looking for progress, stop looking & just progress
Begin the change with self
Because one day, self is all that will be left
A Change Will Come
