Change the World
B.A.N. Lyrics

Raising hustlers, thieves and prostitutes
The environment we are brought up in has prompted people to become involved in illegal activities like hustling, stealing, and prostitution.

Young homie think before you shoot, murderer
We should use our mental faculties before committing crimes like murder.

Where will our children go
We need to create a safe environment for children to grow up in.

When there's no place safe (nowhere) anywhere they can go
It is concerning when there is no safe place in the world for kids to go.

And trouble may come in sometime you get pulled
There are times when people get pulled over by the police, and it leads to problems.

Over by one time and when its 1999 the one didn't even make any stride
In 1999, the police were still as bad as they had been in the past.

Murder all around the whole world is nausiatin'
The increasing amount of murder in the world is sickening.

Everybody's hatin', everybody overrated
Hate and overrating are prevalent issues in modern society.

Why everybody's actin' agitated
Many people are always on edge and easily agitated.

I thought we graduated back in the sat away
I thought we had progressed beyond certain negative behaviors in the past.

Up on the battle station (oh yeah)
We need to be prepared to fight for the good cause.

Patience is a birth defect and you know ain't nobody perfect
People tend to have low patience levels and nobody is perfect.

And when the curtains blow
When things go wrong.

O's open up the door no more, no more.
There are no more new opportunities to capitalize on.

See we losing this world we love
We are gradually losing the world that we love.

And it looks like the sin that won't end
It seems like the cycle of sin won't end.

So I'm reaching high up above
I am hopeful and striving for a better future.

Lord let your blessings begin
We ask for God's blessings to commence.

And got me ready to set off the riot,
We are ready to protest by start some commotion.

Ridin' with my Trues Humbly United Gathering Souls
I am riding with my true friends, united and humble.

Here we go, roll up some more Phillies
We are about to roll some cigars.

My nigga let me hit it
My friend, allow me to smoke some of your rolled cigar.

Niggas we thuggin' immortalized, let's get high,
We are notorious and that is our legacy. Let's continue to get high.

It's them niggas you most desire
We are the ones that people want to associate with.

I can remember from way back in the day,
I can recall events from a long time ago.

Coming up out the ghetto was a hell of a struggle
Growing up in the ghetto was a daunting task.

From selling the fiends llello
From selling drugs to addicts.

But it was my dream to kick flows
My aspiration is to rap and flow smoothly.

And put my people on another level
I want to elevate the living standards of people around me.

Now could it be for the lust (Lust)
Is it my desire to fulfill my lustful desires?

Could it be for the rush (Rush)
Is it the adrenaline rush that I enjoy?

My niggas love when they bust (Bust)
My crew enjoys shooting and hurting others.

They steady buck and they duck (Duck)
The crew members shoot while avoiding getting shot themselves.

They put your dick in the dust (Dust)
They overpower their enemies and leave them in a defeated position.

My niggas creeping on a come up
My crew is sneaking around while trying to progress.

Come up nigga, killer, thuggish ruggish nigga
We are motivated to come up as killers and thugs.

Nigga, finna' descent into the dawn of a new millennium
We are on the edge of a new era as the millennium ends.

Anticipating life without Satan hating
We are looking forward to a life without evil forces blocking us.

And all enemies to hell, I'm sendin them
All our enemies should go to hell for interfering with us.

Everyday the devil at me,
The devil always seems to be tempting me.

And I wish the Lord throw a Hummer at me, I ain't happy
I hope God can provide me with happiness via a wealthy lifestyle.

Me and Eazy E in a B-E-N-Z, with my niggas right next to me
Eazy E and I driving Benz cars, accompanied by my crew.

It's my legacy, we can't let it stop, uh uh, not now
I am committed to continuing my legacy, and won't let anything stop me.

The whole world ending up in buck-buck-pow
The world seems to be heading towards violence and chaos.

Corruption, destruction, disaster
The world is full of corruption, destruction, and disastrous events.

Everybody tryna rap faster than the master
Everyone is trying to rap at a better level than their predecessors.

Oh Lord, could you save my soul?
I request God to save my soul from impending danger.

Nigga tryna go platinum 'round 40 years old
I aspire to release platinum records at the age of 40.

The Lord know we can do this shit,
God is aware that we are capable of succeeding.

It ain't no stoppin us now 'cause we can prove this shit
There is nothing to prevent us from proving our worth.

Nigga me, Stew D, PD, Freaky G,
My friends, Stew D, PD, Freaky G, and I.

The whole world wanna be riding with me
Everyone wants to be associated with us.

I'm in the flesh, let's talk about sex,
I am physically present and want to discuss sexual matters.

Babies having babies, Generation X
Teenagers are giving birth to children of their own in Gen X.

With the AIDS epidemic, we ain't pure no more,
Due to the AIDS epidemic, no one can claim to be pure anymore..

And I know they gotta cure for this shit, we ain't rich
There is a cure out there for AIDS, but only wealthy people can afford it.

First we lost Eazy, then we lost Pac
First we lost Eazy-E, then Tupac Shakur passed away.

Biggie got killed, when this shit gonna stop?
Biggie Smalls was murdered. When will this senseless violence come to an end?

Everybody wanna know what's goin' on
Everyone is curious about what's happening.

With the thuggish, ruggish, Bone, Bone, Bone, Bone
With the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony musical group.

Tryna' get prepared for the Y2K
We are trying to get our affairs in order for Y2K.

And if I don't die today, I'm gonna try an change the world
If I don't die today, I will make an effort to change the world for the better.

You need a lesson you can learn from rapping
There is a valuable lesson to be learned from this rap song.

But they try an ban it, realize that it ain't gonna happen
Efforts to ban the song are futile and pointless.

We done changed the world,
Our music has influenced and changed the world already.

Ghetto voices being heard and failed
The voices of people from the ghetto are being heard but often ignored.

You know it's funny, I got my guns, better arm yourself
It's ironic that I have guns, but you better get your own as a form of protection.

Most don't have a clue, if it goes down what to do?
Most people are clueless and do not know what to do in an emergency situation.

Don't you know this government ain't built for me and you
The government is not designed to cater to the needs of people from the ghetto.

I have a dream, no, I have a wish
I have a wish that I aspire to achieve, like Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.

If we can't save ourselves, then let's save the kids
If we can't save ourselves, let's save the future generation instead.

Let the world go, let these babies have somethin'
Let's give the babies a better future and worry less about the current state of the world.

Let the world go, just don't blow this motherfucker up
Let's not ruin the world for everyone by using weapons of mass destruction.

You kill him, he'll kill you
If you kill someone, be prepared to face the consequences.

Some say it stupid but violence really lives where I come from
Some people may find it foolish, but violence is prevalent where I come from.

Hungry little kids where I come from
Kids in my area are starving and suffering from poverty.

Judge not me where I come from
We should not be judged for our upbringing and the environment we come from.
