[Verse 1: Le1f]
Skittles and an Arizona
And itâs like that from New York down to Arizona
Itâs crazy mostly all over the whole world
My generation needs to come up cuz itâs outta order
So, they say that life is love, or is that a facade?
If black is beautiful, why is it so hard?
Thatâs why I grew up hoping that there was no God
At least not the way they taught us on the Amistad
Whoever the Creator is she made us all
So I donât really know who should make that call
To say who is and who is not safe for work
To remove anyoneâs life from this Earth
Uniforms got you thinking you a athlete
But itâs not a competition, if you ask me
Can real recognize real?
Weâre on the backburner like weâre 3/5ths still
[Hook: Dev Hynes]
Nonstop, drop top
Baby, are you ready for a change?
Youâre waiting for a change
Youâre waiting for...
You wonât give up
Baby, are you ready for a change?
Youâre waiting for a change
Youâre waiting for...
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I can help you get what you wanna change
Youâre waiting for a change
[Verse 2: Le1f]
If you came from a hood with
Drug dealers and undercovers, all kinds of hustlers
And your grade school teacher never would teach you
The history of your own culture, intentionally misinform you...
If anyone's ever read your name
And grouped you terrorists and criminals one and the same
Take one step forward
If you already know the aim is to try to put you to shame
Because youâre not the same...
Tired of waiting games?
Add some fuel to the flame
Come forth and stake your claim
If you're living in a fear of events you think you canât prevent
Stop questioning your strength
Take one step forward
[Hook: Dev Hynes]
Nonstop, drop top
Baby, are you ready for a change?
Youâre waiting for a change
Youâre waiting for...
You wonât give up
Baby, are you ready for a change?
Youâre waiting for a change
Youâre waiting for...
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I have just what you want
I can help you get what you wanna change
Youâre waiting for a change
[Verse 3: Miss Geri]
Do you think we can start a revolution, baby?
Do you think we could save the world?
I heard you had something to yell
You're afraid to say it
I heard it before and I know
I know it too well
I know it too well
Always with the smoke and mirrors
Put your life in your hands
Come and see yourself clearer
Take the fog away
