Things Have Gotta Change (Tony M Rap)

[00:07.46] Get on top, you will cop, oh
[00:15.77] Cream
[00:20.26] The time is now, take the chance
[00:21.87] Get on top, you will cop, winner takes all
[00:23.61] As we dance to the rhythm of the cream beat
[00:25.48] Never will you see me drowning in pool of self-pity
[00:28.13] So, as a I ooze with the flow, here we go
[00:29.91] And if you gimme an end, so take a little mo'
[00:32.17] The army of the brothers shall overcome
[00:34.75] Bring in a crash from the drums, ho
[00:39.13] Things have gotta change
[00:42.51] Get on top, you will cop, ho
[00:46.45] Hey everybody, things have gotta change (cream)
[00:51.41] Get on top, you will cop, ho (boogie)
[00:54.67] Although the times have changed
[00:56.52] Some things remain
[00:57.66] I say love thy neighbor
[00:58.79] And I'll gangk him if he ain't got no game
[00:59.80] The rules of design read double standards
[01:01.97] And if you're weak in the game
[01:02.81] That's somethin' that you'll die for (die for)
[01:06.53] Yeah, come on

[01:10.51] Everybody, things have gotta change (cream)
[01:16.18] Get on top, u will cop, ho (boogie)
[01:20.30] Like M.L.K Of yesterday, who died to keep a dream alive
[01:22.85] Funny, but it seems like he died in vain
[01:25.25] Cuz as I look around I see we ain't learned shit
[01:27.66] And if the words are sticking, then hit me with it
[01:29.55] 'Cause you've gotta be true to yourself
[01:31.58] Do the best you can with the hand you've been dealt
[01:33.43] You see, I wouldn't have it any other way
[01:35.33] 'Cause it's part of the game we play
[01:36.83] Come on (cream)
[01:39.28] Yeah, things you will cop, ho (boogie)
[01:46.14] Everybody, things have gotta change (cream)
[01:51.80] Yeah, get on top (boogie)
[01:53.33] The army of the brothers shall overcome
[01:55.13] And never succumb to the humdrum
[01:56.58] Saving to keep the person's brain numb
[01:58.47] Free your mind and your ass will follow
[02:00.05] You've got to stand strong and never cow tow
[02:02.20] To a sucker with a closed mind
[02:03.44] Walkin' the thin line
[02:04.07] Still livin' the days of the breadline
[02:05.86] Since this is the 90's, reach a little higher
[02:08.65] NPG, take it to the wire
[02:11.33] Yeah, things have gotta change
[02:16.36] Come along, get on top, you will cop, ho (boogie)
[02:20.84] Everybody, things have gotta change (cream)
[02:25.00] Yeah, get on top, u will cop, ho (boogie)
[02:28.68]
[02:43.36] Is today just another replay of yesterday?
[02:45.77] A country in disarray, discrimination a mainstay
[02:47.82] I'm not naive, that's why I contemplate
[02:50.38] If that's truly the faith, then there's no time to waste
[02:52.16] So let's get ready to go the length, on the strength
[02:54.71] We're prospering together as one in this environment
[02:58.73] Yeah, come on, things have gotta change
[03:04.41] Yeah, get on top, you will cop, ho (boogie)
[03:07.47] Everybody, things have gotta change (cream)
