A Long Time Coming (Change)

[Chorus: Sam Cooke Sample From "A Change Is Gonna Come"]

It's Been A Long, A Long Time Coming

But I Know A Change Gonna Come, Oh Yes It Will

[Verse One:]

For A Long Time We Been Waiting

Anticipating A Change In This Game

No Lame's Spitting About Chain's

That Raw Rap, Boom Bop Rap

Premo Spinning While Nas Is Spitting

Back To Those Illmatic Days

Can Hip-Hop Go Back To Those Ways?

It's All Up To Us, We Must In Good We Trust

Bring Back The Classic's

MC's Rapping With Real Passion

Now It's More Like Fashion

Who Can Get The Crowd Dancing?

Hipster's Claiming That Rap Is Everything To 'Em

But They Couldn't Even Name One Rakim Track, They Fooling

Couldn't Tell You What BDP Mean's

And If You Said "Roots", They'd Be Like "Who?"

And If You Spelt "Gang Starr" They Say You Mean Gangster

Kweli, Mos Def, Kool G, They Say "Who He"

They Don't Know A Real MC

You Listen To Nicki, Drake And Wayne

You Don't Know Shit About This Game

Hip-Hop Might Die, We Struggling To Keep The Name Alive

Unless There's A Change, Then It's Over

More Of The Old Em, Dre And Hova

Sam Cook Sing The Hook

[Chorus: Sam Cooke Sample From "A Change Is Gonna Come"]

It's Been A Long, A Long Time Coming

But I Know A Change Gonna Come, Oh Yes It Will
