Lyrics : I Know I Been Changed

I know I been changed (Know I been changed)
I know I been changed (Know I been changed)
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name, well

Well, tell me what are we supposed to do?
We've been marching instead of shooting since Martin Luther
Our necks been in nooses that's never loosened
Our freedom seems elusive, we're due for a revolution
Can't find a single solution within this crooked constitution, well
It hasn't been that long since you acknowledged me as a human
Three-fifths can't compromise or demoralize our contributions
You call us thugs and gangsters to justify when you shoot us
Well, everything you say I am, you about to turn me into it, yeah

Well, you don't believe that I been redeemed
You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name
Well, follow me down to that old Jordan stream
You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name

I know I been changed
You know that
I know I been changed
Good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name, well

You see, riots ain't changing rules and looting's not changing laws
Marches ain't helping sh*t 'cause they fight us with firearms
So maybe we should go get a license to fire ours
And turn the gangsters and the mob to a ghetto National Guard
We pressing all oppressors that stretch us 'cause it's their job
To detect us by complexion and strip us from who we are
If I pulled a gun on you and you aim one back at my dome
And we shot at the same time whose side would God be on? Man

I know I been changed
You know that
I know I been changed
Good Lord, yeah
I know I been changed
You know the angels in Heaven done signed my name

Amen
