[Intro: Blu]
Uh, uh
[Chorus: Blu]
We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow
And we hope that we can make it rain, but they say it's only for—
[Verse 1: Blu]
See, life can be a bitter man's hell, but life can make a bitter man change
I done seen out old dogs learn new tricks, the trade
Yet still, I've seen an old soul grow cold
In the middle of summer, under the scorching sun
Waiting for winter and the beginning of spring
Lonely is the lady that left to learn love's not a season that's passed, but a brand new fling
Singing as we spin on this merry-go-round
Dizzy from the ups, downs
Pulling us side to side, choosing the rights and wrongs based on lies and facts
And the fiction that we living, as simple as that
What happened?
[Pre-Chorus: Blu]
Where did love go? We want more
And does it take dough to get it? (No)
Then why the poor folks ain't living in it, yo?
They say it's only for—
[Chorus: Blu]
We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow
And we hope that we can make it rain, they say it's only for—
We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow
And we hope that we can make it rain in hopes that it'll reach your soul
[Verse 2: TiRon]
Fresh out of school, gotta get that bread
Pay bills 'til you get out of debt
And after that, get a place somewhere on the westside
Or maybe downtown right next to a high-rise
Then meet a lady with a laidback soul
A good sense of humor you can shack up with
And if you clip, that's when you slide her the ring and then hop the broom
Then after the honeymoon, everything seems different
'Cause she wants kids and a crib to put 'em in
And you wanna chill with your friends that could've been
Should've been but ain't, can't quite get it together
And she can't stand that, but you like, "Whatever"
And you never see it coming
But you got a bun cooking in the oven
In a couple months, you gon' be a daddy
Then push, out pops the seed that you planted
Even though it wasn't planned, you're still Black 'cause that's—
[Pre-Chorus: Blu]
Where did love go? We want more
And does it take dough to get it? (No)
Then why the poor folks ain't living in it, yo?
They say it's only for—
[Chorus: Blu]
We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow
And we hope that we can make it rain, they say it's only for—
We just wanna see things change, we just wanna make things grow
And we hope that we can make it rain in hopes that it'll reach your soul
[Outro]
The time, the rehearsal we were doing before, what was that baby we we're doing?
What was that all about?
Yeah
