Nothing Ever Changes - SOJA, Gentleman

What do we really need

In this life?

I look at myself sometimes

Like it’s not right

People out there with no

Food at night

And we say we care, but we don’t

So we all lie

What if there’s more to this

And one day

We become what we do

Not what we say

We end up in

All the shit that they’re in

And roles are reversed

And it was different

And we were the ones

With nothing to eat

We were the ones

With blood in our streets

We were the ones

With only our screams

And they were the ones

Just watching on TV

And we were the ones

Broke down and torn

With our life on our back

And our wife in our arms

And they were the ones

Like damn that’s so sad

And we were the ones

Like

Nothing ever changes

It’s the only thing I know

That nothing ever changes

I’m looking down this road

And nothing ever changes, no

No, nothing ever changes

Look at your dreams

And your intention

Selfish it is

For you to mention

Turning your thousands into millions

Marry a model

And you have some children

Well they’ve got their dreams too

I imagine

Like water that won’t

Come back to kill them

Sleeping at night

Without a murder

In some little town

You’ve never heard of

Now look at your nightmares

And all of your worst fears

Your car and your house

And your girl

And it stops there

All these things

You can’t imagine losing

Like oh no

What if that happened to me

Well what you’ve got

They’ll never have

To be like you

To have your chance

To be like you

Before they’re gone

Nothing ever changes

At least that’s how we act

Like nothing ever changes

Like God has got our backs

Like nothing ever changes

I’m looking down this road

And I can see this pain, yes

It’s only gonna grow

Maybe we need more

Shoes on our feet

Maybe we need more

Clothes and TV’s

Maybe we need

More cash and jewelry

Or maybe we don’t know

What we need

Maybe we need

To want to fix it

Maybe stop talking

Maybe start listening

Maybe we need

To look at this world

Less like a square

And more like a circle

Maybe just maybe

God’s not unfair

Maybe we’re all his kids

And he’s up there

Maybe he loves us

For all our races

Maybe he hates us

When were all so racist

Maybe he sees us

When we don’t care

And it’s heaven right here

But it’s hell over there

And maybe the meek

Will inherit this earth

Cause it was written before

So everything changes

And nothing stays the same

No everything changes

And if you feel ashamed

Maybe you should change this

Before it gets too late

Maybe you should change this

My brother, we’re standing at the gate

Everything changes, changes, changes

Maybe you should change it, change it, change it

Everything changes, changes, changes

Everything changes
