A change is gonna come

2005

Long time coming


(horns)

Verse 1

ante up, time to let the trumpets sound
crown me later, i'ma take my trown now
been writing for 'bout 10 yrs now
and finally the real truth is coming out

you can't stop it 'cause this is God's plan
I know some of y'all just don't understand
and now ya twisted, can't believe it's me
(??????)

Chorus

it's been a long time since ya heard it like this
it's been a long time since ya felt it like this
it's been a long time since ya seen it like this
'cause ain't nobody bringing it quite like this
I've been prayig for a time like this
and I've been waiting for a time like this
I've been talknig 'bout a time like this
a long time coming but you get it like this

Verse 2

through the rain, through the pain I'm still around
thank God kept me on solid ground
my ship started out with many aboard
but when the (???) got rough they jumped ashore
I've seen many many many go and come
even watched some of y'all faknig the funk
but you can't lie, can't fake it, it's in your blood
ya either got it or ya don't

Chorus

Bridge

hey dj won't ya play my song
keep it banging all night long 4x

Chorus

sounds like something that you've had before
but it ain't really something that you've had before
feels like something that you've felt before
but it ain't really something that you've felt before
ain't really something that you've seen before
'cause it sure ain't something that you've seen before

ad lib out

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
