Krs One - Things Will Change lyrics

rate me

Hands in the air! [x4]

[KRS]

Good looking, word...

DJ Revolution, word up...

Let's do this, kid...

Here we go!

[Chorus]

A good time, a good vibe, and a house with a court

Good life, good wife, a little food for thought

I need (I need) food, clothes, and a whip with rims

I need God in my life

I need family and friends

(I need) money, power, respect, I need love

I need world peace, homeless to eat, no drugs

I need every race and creed to be one

Every nation, every face and seed to see sun

[KRS]

You need to listen to this

You need to listen to Kris

You need to have peace at least

You need spiritual bliss

You need a lyrical twist

Do you know what a miracle is?

Before we begin, you may need a kiss

I suggest either one from J to O-one from the lips

Either way what I'm saying, yo, is bound to uplift

You need checks, you need cash

You need intellect

You need to be moving fast

You need that big respect

You need to be rolling in a car

Going to a bar that's far

Makin' the deal to make you a star

You need to ask yourself, now do you know who you are?

Where you goin'? How many steps you took so far?

You need patience, you need to control your mind

If you read and don't act, then you're wasting your time

We need better leaders, we need better preachers

We need a three-thousand dollar raise to all teachers

[Chorus]

[KRS]

You need some meditation

You need rejuvenation

You need assistance right now with your situation

You need some contemplation

You need a combination

–A combination of will power and concentration

You need some syncopation

With regular relaxation

But you can't, 'cause you runnin' and racin' and chasin'

You need to slow down, maybe you should speed up

One sayin' "lay down," the other's sayin' "leap up"

You gotta keep up

I suggest you start to speak up

A lawyer, a doctor, a rapper—you wanna be what?

Whatever it is, you gotta visualize

You need to focus for real, and stop livin' them lies

The time you givin' them guys

You could be workin' upon the goal you hold

Yo, you must realize

Yo, you need to be wise

Yo, you need to be alive, there could be no revenge or deceit in your eyes

Rise!

[Chorus]

[KRS]

Gimme what I need

Do it with speed

Change the situation around, plant new seeds!

I roll with a righteous team of adults

Forget the insults

We plan to get results

You can call us a cult, you can call us a gang

But when it comes to Hiphop, no, you cats can't hang

When the Gatts go bang

And the telephone rang

Telling you to come to identify the remains

That's when you feel the pain

And my name comes as comfort, ease and all stress and strain

You need to know the game

You need to know the meaning of your own name

Reprogram your own brain

Ask questions with no shame

How you think you gonna master your craft if you don't train?

Perfecting your skill, that's the aim

Perfect your skill, and you'll always have money and fame

C'mon!

[Chorus]

What I, uhh, what I need

(House on the hill)

That's what I need

(Cash credit on my bill)

That's what I need

(All my dreams fulfilled)

That's what I need

(New whip that I can wheel)

What I need

(With the chromed out grill)

Uh huh, that's what I need

(And the girl that can chill)

That's what I need

(And my spirit all healed)

That's what I need

(That's what I need)

That's what I need

(That's what I need)

That's what I need

(That's what I need)

That's what I need

(That's what I need)

That's what I need

That's what I need

(That's what I need)
