[00:00.12][Verse 1]
[00:26.28]What do we really need
[00:28.38]In this life?
[00:29.43]I look at myself sometimes
[00:31.38]Like it's not right
[00:32.64]People out there with no
[00:34.41]Food at night
[00:35.61]And we say we care, but we don't
[00:37.50]So we all lie
[00:38.76]What if there's more to this
[00:40.77]And one day
[00:41.94]We become what we do
[00:43.74]Not what we say
[00:45.00]We end up in
[00:46.17]All the shit that they're in
[00:48.12]And roles are reversed
[00:49.44]And it was different
[00:51.27]And we were the ones
[00:52.35]With nothing to eat
[00:54.45]We were the ones
[00:55.50]With blood in our streets
[00:57.54]We were the ones
[00:58.62]With only our screams
[01:00.63]And they were the ones
[01:01.71]Just watching on TV
[01:03.72]And we were the ones
[01:05.01]Broke down and torn
[01:06.51]With our life on our back
[01:08.34]And our wife in our arms
[01:09.93]And they were the ones
[01:11.07]Like damn that's so sad
[01:13.11]And we were the ones
[01:14.22]Like
[01:14.46][Hook 1]
[01:14.79]Nothing ever changes
[01:19.11]It's the only thing I know
[01:21.66]That nothing ever changes
[01:25.53]I'm looking down this road
[01:27.84]And nothing ever changes, no
[01:34.17]No, nothing ever changes
[01:36.03][Verse 2]
[01:41.28]Look at your dreams
[01:42.36]And your intention
[01:44.13]Selfish it is
[01:45.24]For you to mention
[01:47.43]Turning your thousands into millions
[01:50.46]Marry a model
[01:51.87]And you have some children
[01:53.34]Well they've got their dreams too
[01:55.32]I imagine
[01:56.58]Like water that won't
[01:57.75]Come back to kill them
[01:59.76]Sleeping at night
[02:00.90]Without a murder
[02:02.91]In some little town
[02:04.08]You've never heard of
[02:06.00]Now look at your nightmares
[02:07.62]And all of your worst fears
[02:09.12]Your car and your house
[02:10.44]And your girl
[02:11.16]And it stops there
[02:12.51]All these things
[02:13.44]You can't imagine losing
[02:15.24]Like oh no
[02:16.26]What if that happened to me
[02:17.46]Well what you've got
[02:19.62]They'll never have
[02:21.48]To be like you
[02:23.10]To have your chance
[02:24.69]To be like you
[02:25.56]Before they're gone
[02:28.35][Hook 2]
[02:29.58]Nothing ever changes
[02:34.11]At least that's how we act
[02:36.24]Like nothing ever changes
[02:40.20]Like God has got our backs
[02:42.57]Like nothing ever changes
[02:46.62]I'm looking down this road
[02:48.99]And I can see this pain, yes
[02:52.80]It's only gonna grow
[02:54.30][Verse 3]
[03:20.85]Maybe we need more
[03:22.23]Shoes on our feet
[03:23.97]Maybe we need more
[03:25.35]Clothes and TV's
[03:27.18]Maybe we need
[03:28.20]More cash and jewelry
[03:30.15]Or maybe we don't know
[03:32.46]What we need
[03:33.39]Maybe we need
[03:34.47]To want to fix it
[03:36.45]Maybe stop talking
[03:38.01]Maybe start listening
[03:39.57]Maybe we need
[03:40.65]To look at this world
[03:42.69]Less like a square
[03:44.19]And more like a circle
[03:45.75]Maybe just maybe
[03:47.22]God's not unfair
[03:49.05]Maybe we're all his kids
[03:50.94]And he's up there
[03:52.02]Maybe he loves us
[03:53.34]For all our races
[03:55.17]Maybe he hates us
[03:56.52]When were all so racist
[03:58.35]Maybe he sees us
[03:59.70]When we don't care
[04:01.29]And it's heaven right here
[04:02.67]But it's hell over there
[04:03.75]And maybe the meek
[04:05.67]Will inherit this earth
[04:07.14]Cause it was written before
[04:08.49][Hook 3]
[04:09.63]So everything changes
[04:13.80]And nothing stays the same
[04:15.99]No everything changes
[04:20.04]And if you feel ashamed
[04:22.44]Maybe you should change this
[04:26.34]Before it gets too late
[04:28.62]Maybe you should change this
[04:31.59]My brother, we're standing at the gate
[04:35.46][Outro]
[04:39.36]Everything changes, changes, changes
[04:40.38]Maybe you should change it, change it, change it
[04:53.31]Everything changes, changes, changes
[04:55.44]Everything changes
