[Chorus: Awich]
Feels like the world's watching you
Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?
What are you scared of?
What are you scared of?
The future's in front of you
I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No
Truth is they fear us
Truth is they fear us
[Verse 1: Awich]
They aim the red dot on the heart of a lion
Been through the fire and back check my bio
God used to test me “define the defiance”
“Black, brown, yellow earth, how you see the science?”
You can come to butcher shop
We can really chop it up
I'm just trying to make it out
They keep us on a chopping block
Grandpa told me war stories
How they gave up on Oki
Now them GIs my homies
And trust me, I seen them cry like
How we gonna fight a war for a country that brings us hell?
How we gonna change the world when we can't even change ourselves?
What do we fear the most?
To be blinded and lost, so we hurt each other
Freedom is at our cost
Who the fuck think you are? I had to ask my heart, so much weight on my shoulder
I can never sleep, no, no
[Chorus: Joey Bada$$]
Feels like the world's watching you
Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?
What are you scared of?
What are you scared of?
The future's in front of you
I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No
Truth is they fear us
Truth is they fear us
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Got me on my fight the power shit
What are we supposed to fight the power with?
I ain't equipped to go to war with politics
And I really can't afford a scholarship
Mama thought I'd never see colleges
Now I'm giving lectures for all the kids
Use my mind like a weapon, it's all it is
Just trying to spread the message, it's all legit
Tell me how we gon to change the world when we can't even change ourselves?
And how are we going to fight a war for a country that bring us hell?
I think we need some help
Pray to God I won't fail
Might as well feel my brothers in the jail
Living in the cell
Only time will tell
[Chorus: Awich & Joey Bada$$ & RZA]
Feels like the world's watching you
Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?
What are you scared of?
What are you scared of?
The future's in front of you
I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No
Truth is they fear us
Truth is they fear us
(What’s the science, GOD?)
[Verse 3: RZA]
Let your light shine through the trials of time
Until you illuminate the darkest space inside your mind
Without a dimmer
We shimmer so the world can see the splendor
And the glimmer of our glory from the outer to the inner being
Seeing is believing
Giving and receiving
The life that guides the human beings
Does free yourself-bondage from carnal carnage
Let your light shine, give God the homage
A circle in a circle, a wheel within a wheel
Always shining, always spinning, enlightening all that's real
Draw it up to a fine mist and let it distill
I see the future from a lighthouse over the hill
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me how we gon to change the world
When we can't even change ourselves?
And how are we going to fight a war for a country that bring us hell?
Think we need some help
Pray to God I won't fail
Might as well feel my brothers in the jail
Living in the cell
Only time will tell
[Chorus]
Feels like the world's watching you
Wanna make a change, what's stopping you?
What are you scared of?
What are you scared of?
The future's in front of you
I won't tell the youth nothing but the truth. No
Truth is they fear us
Truth is they fear us
