| One day, one day
|
| One day, one day
|
| One day, one day
|
| One day, one day
|
| I’ve been searching for change a lot
|
| My brain is shocked, looking for another way
|
| And I’ve been searching for light in the dark
|
| As light as a spark to spark for me a brighter day
|
| And I’m looking for people to hang with
|
| People to sing with, people to do a melody with
|
| What they say should take a lifetime
|
| Took a couple of seconds to awaken my life
|
| And my whole world changed in one day
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| And now I’m all in the streets
|
| And I’m marching for peace
|
| 'Cause I know that it’s coming to me someday
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| And now I’m all in the streets
|
| And I’m marching for peace
|
| 'Cause I know that it’s coming to me someday
|
| Ah, a dopey dude in a dope boy world
|
| A tattered book with the pages unfurled
|
| A branded car with a vintage shell
|
| My treasures are all in heaven so I’m poor as hell
|
| I guess it’s just a juxtaposition and I’m playing my position
|
| And I feel no competition 'cause there’s none
|
| 'Cause I’m like Bobby Brown from New Edition
|
| My prerogative and mission is to use surgical precision like guns (Bam!)
|
| 'Cause my whole world changed in one day
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| And now I’m all in the streets
|
| And I’m marching for peace
|
| 'Cause I know that it’s coming to me someday
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| I said, my whole world changed in one day
|
| And now I’m all in the streets
|

|

|
| The rap game is flighty like Sara Pallin is
|
| And it’s ignorant like republicans
|
| And sorta shiesty like our government
|
| So they’re about to get chewed out like double mint
|
| So labels come on, slow down
|
| Labels come on, slow down
|
| When you’re already sucked
|
| There ain’t nowhere to go now
|
| So and this gonna be a Twitter line
|
| And I typed these words
|
| And I shed it like a sister wife
|
| With music that closes your mind
|
| With Black Thought, it’s only a Roots not rhymes
|
| With a guy worth a penny but he still gets dimes
|
| When it’s time to sprint forward but we’re still behind
|
| (I feel like I got something to offer)
|
| Let me give you something new to get into
|
| (I feel like I got something to offer)
|
| Like Michael Brown man, every hand in the building
|
| (Hands up!)
|
| I’ve been searching for change a lot
|
| My brain is shocked, looking for another way
|

|
| And my race caused racist to come stop and frisk me, man
|
| I have as Mississipi, man
|
| And my Jimmy had led the way like with the gypsy band
|
| And the girls was getting back like some whiskey, man
|
| And after all that went down, and I mean all that went down
|
| Life was there was no more going down
|
| I said, this gonna be a Twitter line
|
