I Know I Been Changed

[Chorus: Keedron Bryant] I know I been changed (Know I been changed) I know I been changed (Know I been changed) I know I been changed You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name, well [Verse 1: Symba] Well, tell me what are we supposed to do? We've been marching instead of shooting since Martin Luther Our necks been in nooses that's never loosened Our freedom seems elusive, we're due for a revolution Can't find a single solution within this crooked constitution, well It hasn't been that long since you acknowledged me as a human Three-fifths can't compromise or demoralize our contributions You call us thugs and gangsters to justify when you shoot us Well, everything you say I am, you about to turn me into it, yeah [Verse 2: Keedron Bryant] Well, you don't believe that I been redeemed You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name Well, follow me down to that old Jordan stream You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name [Chorus: Keedron Bryant] I know I been changed You know that I know I been changed Good Lord, yeah I know I been changed You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name, well [Verse 3: Symba] You see, riots ain't changing rules and looting's not changing laws Marches ain't helping shit 'cause they fight us with firearms So maybe we should go get a license to fire ours And turn the gangsters and the mob to a ghetto National Guard We pressing all oppressors that stretch us 'cause it's their job To detect us by complexion and strip us from who we are If I pulled a gun on you and you aim one back at my dome And we shot at the same time whose side would God be on? Man [Chorus: Keedron Bryant] I know I been changed You know that I know I been changed Good Lord, yeah I know I been changed You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name [Outro: Keedron Bryant] Amen
