[Verse 1: Malcolm London]
Been a lot of places except for home
Rocked a lot of stages, no stepping stone
Skipped a lot of school, my lessons learned
When cops kill us them courts adjourned
Did I forget to mention that I'm from the westside?
Where sunset 'round five, and quickly turn to dark skies
Cross-eyed cross country, my city feel like apartheid
Where showin' love feel like a part time job
[Pre-Hook: Malcolm London]
Kids can't go to the playground
Can't tell Chicago from Capetown
Young Nelson Mandela with a cape on
Straight from K-town
I don't wanna go right now
I just wanna learn right now
Northstar from the westside
Wear a lot of hats, but they don't let hats inside
Picket sign in my afterlife
[Hook: Maceo Haymes & Malcolm London]
I'm like, how you gonna change the world?
(How you gonna change the world?)
(It's already ending)
(Where you gonna place your bets?)
How you gonna change a world that's already ended?
Where you gonna place your bets when you're so far from winning?
How you gonna win if you ain't right then?
How you gonna win if you ain't right then?
How you gonna win if you ain't right then?
How you gonna win if you ain't right?
How you gonna win if you ain't right?
You ain't right, you ain't right
