Change Gonna Come (feat. Asher Roth & Charles Hamilton) - B.o.B

I was born by the river, in a little tent. Oh, just like the river, I've been running, ever since. It's been a long, long time coming, but I know, change is gonna come. Oh, yes it will. It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die, cause I don't know what's up there, beyond the sky. It's been a long long time coming, but I know, change is gonna come. Oh, yes it will. I go to the movies, and I go downtown. Somebody keep telling me, don't hang around. It's been a long, long time coming, but I know, change is gonna come. Oh, yes it will. Then I go, to my brother, and I say brother, help me please, but then he winds up, knocking me, back down on my knees. Oh. There's been times when I thought, I couldn't last for long, and now I know that I'm able to carry on. It's been a long, long time coming, but I know, change is gonna come. Oh, yes it will.
