I am ready to be the change I want to see

Selly verse
Love was what I needed at the time
How couldn’t I see you
While you were so close to my heart
And now am ready to give my love to you
Sohnn verse
I remember the day when I was living in the dark
I was gone astray thinking the best is yet to come
My life was a mess, I was living a lie
I needed the light, and I was searching for the right way
This way that way tell me where to go
The pastors the preachers tell me where to go
Religious leaders leading me astray, a sinner like me, nobody judge me
When I step up to the place, only me and my mic
My pen and I write, memories deep within
Evil thoughts in my heart, the good die young
All the people that I lost, to the race and the crime
I hold on to my dreams, my eyes on the prize
Like Martin Luther King, I still have a dream
To the valley of death, I will fear no evil
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me
Hook (Em & Sohnn)
I am ready (I been telling them)
I am ready (all my people say)
I am ready to give my life to you (*2)
Emily verse
I remember when I was just down and out
It feels like it was just about yesterday
I would lie in my bed and cry day and night
But the Lord spoke to me and said just hold on tight
My heart was ready but the enemy blinded my sight
Don’t fear my daughter you are the reason I gave my life
Selly Verse
Sohnn bridge
You should never give up
Just keep on believing
You should never give up just keep holding on (*2)
Sohnn verse
Sometimes its hard, when I wake up in the morning
My mind full of dreams I don’t wanna hear the voices
So many women screaming, so many babies crying
They see destruction and the evil in the eyes
Big men in dark suits, they drive big cars too
With the money of the poor, and the blood of the weak
So they (the poor) start smoking weed, will never see the day
And so they learn to pray, hoping for better days
And I keep hoping please, if you prefer to breathe
The community is in need, of people that will lead
But until I see a change in the leaders of today
There will never be a light, at the end of the day
With our hearts open wide, the fathers and the sons
Will keep fighting greed, away the misery
So my brothers be wise, our eyes on the prize
Until the day I day, I keep fighting greed
