Lyrics to Change

Change by Rokshana Begum,Kendra Taylor, Perpetue Backer, and Aysha Jalal
Living in a world
A cold one at that
All you see is gangs
All you hear is a BANG
It don’t matter if you’re white ,brown yellow or black
We all smoked some weed, and some crack

We run, hide, scream and shout
But we don’t know what this worlds about
Got girls in the street pregnant at 16
What they really need is some scrubbing from Mr. Clean

CHORUS
That’s just the way it is
Things will always be the same

We all prisoner in this place
Do nothing, but I get sprayed in my face
Fathers beat, cheat, rape and kill
So what’s being done?
Nothing, so chill

Young kids committing nothing but sin
Trapped in my skin, tryna let you in
I’m supposed to like girls but I don’t, so I’m “gay”
Bein’ bullied day after day.

When is the world going to change?
They say we progressin’
But all we doin’ is stressin’
Can I get some change?
And I’m not talkin’ about money.
This shit ain’t funny.
We’re P.A.R.K
Not Rosa, just a little bolder.
So can I get some change?
Let’s start with a dime
It’ll take some time
But if we get some range, we’ll get some change.

CHORUS
That’s just the way it is
Things will always be the same
