Things Have Gotta Change
come on (cream)
Yeah, things have gotta change! (boogie)
get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)
everybody, things have gotta change!
yeah, get on top

the army of the brothers shall overcome
and never succumb to the hum-drum
saving the key to person's brain, no!
free your mind and your ass will follow
u've got 2 stand strong
and never count down
to a sucker with a closed mind
walkin' the thin line,
still livin' the days of the breadline
since this is the 90's,
reach a little higher,
NPG, take it 2 the wire (cream)

yeah, things have gotta change! (boogie)
yeah, get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)
everybody, things have gotta change! (boogie)
yeah, get on top, u will cop, ho!

Is today just another replay of yesterday
A country in disarray, discrimination a mainstay
I'm not naive that's why I contemplate
if that's truly the faith,
then there's no time to waste
so let's get ready to go the length, on the strip
we're prospering together as one in this environment

yeah, come on, things have gotta change! (boogie)
yeah, get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)
everybody, things have gotta change! (boogie)
yeah, get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)

(boogie, cream, boogie, cream)

everybody, things have gotta change!
get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)

everybody, things have gotta change!
get on top, u will cop, ho! (cream)
