Lyrics

Change for the World

[Verse 1]

Revelation, we livin' in

Am I dreamin'? Who is gonna protect us now?

Rap back to color, Blacks depreciated

If we're not careful, we'll be back segregated

Change for the better of your soul

[Chorus]

We gotta change our love

Change our love

We gotta change for the world

Change for the world

I got to give you my love

Give you my love

[Verse 2]

If you don't do me right now

Just check yourself

And I ain't afraid to love ya

See? I come with open arms

Stop hiding behind religion

Hate is poison in the blood

Heaven is crime, the world is shakin'

God is unhappy, the moon is breakin'

Blood is spillin', God is comin'

What are ya gonna do?

Shout them lines, take this love

Put away the guns, and take this love

[Chorus]

We gotta change our love

Change our love

We gotta change for the world

Change for the world

I got to give you my love

Give you my love

If you don't do me right now

Just check yourself

[Bridge]

Change the false preaches; change the hate in you

[Chorus]

We gotta change our love

Change our love

We gotta change for the world

Change for the world

I got to give you my love

Give you my love

Changing, changing

Change for the world

Changin' for this world

All over the world

Give you my love

Change

Change for the world

Change the world

Change the world
