I was born by the river.. in a little tent
No just like that river i've.. been running ever since
It's been a long.. a long time coming
But i knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will..
It's been tooooooo hard living
But i'm afraid to die..
Cause i don't know what's up there, beyond the sky
It's been a long tiiiime.. a long time coming
But i knowowwwww.. a change gon' come
Oh yes it will..
And i go.. to my brother (yes i do)
And say, "brother - help me please" (well well)
But he winds up, knocking me..
I got on my knees, oahhhoooohhhhh
There's been times, that i thought
I wouldn't last too long..
capone-n-noreaga
.. but i think i'm able
son we gotta do this
.. to carry on..
It's been a long..
it's been a long time coming
It's been a long time since you heard capone-n-noreaga right?
A long time coming, but i knowowowww..
it's like you my nigga though
A change gon' come..
we starved for too long baby
Oh yes it will..
mami and mambo..
