[Intro: Essam & Petty Pro]
Bismillah
Allah changes not the conditions of a people, until they first change that which is in their hearts
Chapter 13, Verse 11
It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon’ come
A change gon’ come
A change gon’ come
[Verse 1: Essam]
Refuse to let the coloniser take over my tongue
Rap from the top of my lungs
Everybody in my hood hustle clean and dirty
Soaking up [?] like a sponge
In my 20s going all out before I hit 30
Used to hear sirens and guns
Still on the block posted with the same homies
Hear the Adhan then we run
Two, middle of night in the stu
Know that we heatin’ the temp in the room
Ooh, know that my time coming soon
Flesh turn to dust and get swept with the broom
Ooh, don’t got nothing to prove
[?] for your chest but your faith is what’s proof
So you flexing on who?
Giving what you get out accept it or lose
Choose, one chance can’t double back that’s a fact
Seek protection, prayed up so the devil never catch me lack
Everything you do based off intention
I hope that my heart never slacks
OG taught me gotta prepare for the worst
So always tuck ten racks
[Chorus: Essam]
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
[Verse 2: Essam]
Some peoples test is being poor
Some people tested with wealth
Some people living up their best life
And others got problems with health
A thousand dollars on an iPhone
While millions can’t leave their cell
Striving for rivers of honey and milk
I pray that I don’t take an L
They try to overprice the consoles
But the game is free
I went from zero to twenty-six like A to Z
Cos life will pass
And the nights don’t last
From the time it start, finish twice as fast
Getting worked up off the nonsense
Ima tell you fam don’t sweat it
Things aren’t really what you see
So don’t be deceived by aesthetics
Feed yourself with nothing but the truth
Don’t worry about how the lies taste
Forgive me if I ever lead you wrong
But believe me when I say-
[Chorus: Essam]
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
Change gon’ come
Change gon’ come
Change gon’ come
Change gon’ come
[Chorus: Essam]
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
Everybody got something going, can’t compare you to no one else
Allah won’t change any situation until you first change yourself
