If I could write one letter to the world as we know it I would list these rhymes that mean everything to me Heartache temporary, Bullets only stop your blood Pain will live on and on In everyone, in everyone
And we could change, we could change it down We could change the world, we could strike the chord We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones We could re-write history, if only you and me We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones And We could change it down
The bottle holds no answers His lips can only sway Chemicals imbalance Who needs them anyway? Desire is close at hand Her lips can only sway There′s more to life than this Don′t give yourself away
I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one And everyone′s so blind They′re not to help mankind Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one You don′t want to change the world Like you say You′re in it for yourself No one else You′re ready Saving yourself You′re gonna change the world You′re ready Saving yourself You′re gonna change the world Now when the day is set they′ll line up all the same And those that need the most will never get or gain The ones you call your friends Are failing you again Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away You don′t want to change the world Like you say You′re in it for yourself No one else You′re ready Saving yourself You′re gonna change the world You′re ready Saving yourself You′re gonna change the world And since you ain′t what you say Then just go away Cause some don′t lie Some don′t lie Go on now they won′t tell Go on now and save yourself
[Hook: Big Sean] They used to tell me I hope you learn to make it on your own And if you love yourself just know you′ll never be alone I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose I hope that it′s the realest thing that you ever know Hope you get the pretty girls, that′s pretty at everything Million dollar cribs havin′ million dollar dreams And when you get it all just remember one thing Remember one thing That one man could change the world That one man could change the world
[Verse 1: Big Sean] Hol′ up, all I wanted was a hundred million dollars and a bad chick Imagine this so much some nights it felt like that I had it Back on the mattress Starin′ at the ceilin′ tryna to connect the dots But its hard makin′ those attachments I′m talkin′ dreamin′ so hard, some nights it felt like draft day You know my step brother used to flip them bags outside the crib like it was trash day, no Kim K, but he bagged yay (Ye) But when you′re getting fast money, slow down, don′t crash With all the drive in the world, swear you still need gas Look, think about it, close your eyes, dream about it Tell your team about it, go make million dollar schemes about it Success is on the way, I feel it in the distance Used to look up at the stars and be like ain′t too much that′s different I be shinin′, they be shinin′, get your one shot don′t you miss it What you know bout′ wakin′ up everyday like you on a mission?
[Hook: Kanye West]
[Verse 2: Big Sean] My grandma told me if you write your name in stone you′ll never get the white out I grinded out that black hole then performed up at the white house Standin′ next to Jim Carrey, we traded stories then laughed I said you not the only one I know got rich wearin′ masks Where I′m from I swear they broke, they need way more than the cast We need more than what you have And then we need more than that But how am I supposed to say I′m tired If that girl from West Virginia came up in conditions that I couldn′t survive Went to war, came back alive On top of that became a female black captain When being black you had to extra extra try Way before James Brown made us proud She bought a crib on the same street as Marvin Gaye Right there on Outer Drive, and she taught me how to drive And she raised the kids, then the kids′ kids, and she did it right Taught me how to love, taught me not to cry When I die, I hope you teach me how to fly All my life you′ve been that angel in disguise saying
[Hook: John Legend]
[Outro:] [Grandma:] Thank you for callin′ me, been thinkin′ about me [Big Sean:] It′s all good I love you grandma [Grandma:] Bye
We′re on a mission In the everlasting light that shines A revelation Of the truth in chapters of our minds
So long, bad times We′re gonna shake it up and break it up We′re sharing light brighter than the sun Hello , good times We′re here to simulate, eliminate An′ congregate, illuminate
(We are here to change the world) Gonna change the world, Hee (We are here to change the world) Gonna change the world, Ooo
So do surrender ′Cause the power′s deep inside my soul Sing it
(We are here to change the world) Gonna change the world, Sing it (We are here to change the world) Hee, Gonna change the world, Ooo
(We are here to change the world) We′re gonna change the world, girl (We are here to change the world) My brothers my brother Na We′re gonna change the world (We are here to change the world) Hee, Deep down in my body, deep down in my soul, Baby (We are here to change the world) Hee, We′re gonna change the world, Oooh
Thinking of the mess was made You became a part of me Thinking of the wish you made To break free Playing you like I can Shoving it in your face This doesn′t break your heart I′m the one to blame
[chorus] I never wanted to change your world I always wanted the simple things And whatever happens now It can′t be real
Thinking that you might betray My own private fantasy I′m the one that gives What you need Playing you like I can Shoving it in your face If this doesn′t tear you apart I′m the one to blame
[chorus] x2
Now you′re gone I feel betrayed You can′t blame me You walked away Now you′re gone You can′t blame me You walked away
[chorus] x3
I never wanted to change your world I always wanted the simple things
[Hook: Big Sean] They used to tell me I hope you learn to make it on your own And if you love yourself just know you′ll never be alone I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose I hope that it′s the realest thing that you ever know Hope you get the pretty girls, that′s pretty at everything Million dollar cribs havin′ million dollar dreams And when you get it all just remember one thing Remember one thing That one man could change the world That one man could change the world

Imagine a place only your soul can vision The heart of a child who looks, sees and listens She paints a picture using every color And what she sees, she sees is like no other
[Chorus:] One word, a voice unheard You can change the world With everything I know you′re made of One word, a voice unheard You can change the world If everyone would stop and listen
The art of innocence make so much sense But placed inthe wrong hands, well then it′s wasted Filtered throught he eyes of a pure mind A one-of-a-kind paradise for you and I
[Chorus]
Break the cycle, find your rhythm Share the gift that you′ve been given
You can You can change the world You can change the world
I wanna change the world... But I know I have to start with me...can you help me?
When your world is closin like it′s comin at When your at the darkest corner I′m the one who will come and catch ya
When your life is wanderin Down some nowhere highway Try a different point of view and Do your best to see things my way
Lookin down there is brother facin brother Dyin one by one But from the ground you can look up at the stars And see the words ′I love you!′ painted high above you..
Gonna change the world Gonna make it right Gonna get down on my knees tonight Gonna change it all Gonna find a way Gonna start to change the world today
There is not a book that You can not rewrite When your in the darkest corner All you do is shine your light and
When the other guy is Bigger than the sky Just before he′s gonna hit ya You can always try a smile cos
All around hear a million lonley people As they say, ′Goodbye′ Yet there′s a sound of a world full of laughter Because now I know I′m better at ′Hello′ and
Gonna change the world Gonna make it right Gonna get down on my knees tonight Gonna change it all Gonna find a way Gonna start to change the world today
When something is wrong,we can only turn it around So give me your hand,my brother and walk together Cos we got a mountain to climb Change the world today
I just want the best for you girl But I don′t think I really know what that means I know you bring the best out of me and I know you′re sick of abstract things But time has been kind in a weird kind of way Cause I′ve been waiting for this feeling to leave If I can hold onto this feeling this long Maybe I can get you to hold me
Don′t you believe, girl You′ll change the world At least you changed the world for me
But I don′t know if I can make it alone And I don′t have much more left to lose I can′t say for sure just where I′ll end up I just want to end up there with you
When the darkness never ends And my world′s crashing in And it starts to turn again Will you believe?
When I won′t get over you And my world splits in two When I just can′t make it through Will you believe?
[Hook: Big Sean] They used to tell me I hope you learn to make it on your own And if you love yourself just know you′ll never be alone I hope that you get everything you want and that you chose I hope that it′s the realest thing that you ever know Hope you get the pretty girls, that′s pretty at everything Million dollar cribs havin′ million dollar dreams And when you get it all just remember one thing Remember one thing That one man could change the world That one man could change the world

If we could change the world It wouldn′t change their minds We could turn back to good But we can′t turn back time
We′ve got to show them all A world that′s filled with hate and greed Won′t last for very long It′s love that we all need
We′ve got to change the world now Before we run out of time We′ve got to change the world But we mst learn to walk Before we learn to fly
We′ve been through this before About a million times You can′t turn back to ice There is no compromise
We′ve got to change the world now Before we run out of time We′ve got to change to the world But we must learn to walk Before we learn to fly
1991 marked the year of the end of the era of communism in the Soviet Union. The voices of the people were heard The Berlin Wall was brought down The people made the change We Can change the world
We′ve got to change the world now Before we run out of time We′ve got to change the world But we must learn to walk Before we learn to fly
If we could change the world If we could change the world
