J. Cole - Change Lyrics
My intuition is telling me they'll be better days
Yeah, my intuition is telling me they'll be better days
I like this tone..
Yeah, my intuition is telling me they'll be better days
My fears alleviate, my tears evaporate
My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date
But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
Bringing me closer to heaven's doors with every step
As we speak I'm in peace, no longer scared to die
Most niggas don't believe in God and so they terrified
It's either that or they be fearing they gon' go to Hell
Asking the father for forgiveness
God, I'm overwhelmed (Please God, I want to go to Heaven)
As if he's spiteful like them white folks that control the jail
Because he knows us all and therefore he would understand
The ignorance that make a nigga take his brother's life
The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife
I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from..
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from..
Yeah, my chosen religion: Jesus piece frozen from sinnin'
Doin' dirt hoping to God He know my intentions
To see a million 'fore I see a casket
I got a baby on the way know he gon' be a bastard
I'm living fast like I'm in a drag race, how that cash taste
When I was a senior I was ballin' on my classmates
Niggas put three bullets in my car one hit the gas tank
Know I got a angel cause I'm supposed to have a halo
Right now, my lifestyle destined for a federal facility
For my ability to make them birds fly
Fiends wanna get higher than a bird's eye view
And who am I tell a nigga what to do?
I just apply this economics
My business ain't got the suit and tie
Keep a pistol at all times, niggas want what's mine
I can't oblige dog, I work too hard
So reach for it, get referred to God; I'm going hard nigga
I know you desperate for a change at the pen glide
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from..
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from inside
But the only real change come from..
Yeah, prodigal son
Got a new gun, this one
Don't run out of ammo lately been working on my handles
Can I ball, become a star, and remain my self
If I fall, dust it off and regain my self
Fuck 'em all, they don't know all the pain I felt
I'm in awe, after all the fame I felt I evolve
I no longer bury demons
I be a vessel for the truth until I'm barely breathing, I'm singing
Life is all about the evolution
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
You can dream but don't neglect the execution
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
Time is short that's what somebody told me
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
Too short to keep following your homies
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
I reminisce back to a time where niggas threw they hands
All of a sudden niggas pop a trunk and then we scram
Finger on trigger make a little nigga understand
What it's like to finally be the motherfuckin' man
Eyes wide that's from the power that the coward feels
Niggas die over bitches disrespecting dollar bills
Bloodshed that turned the city to a battlefield
I call it poison, you call it real (pop, pop, pop, pop)
That's how you feel?
Pistols be poppin' and niggas drop in a heartbeat
Scattered like roaches, a body laid on the concrete
Body laid on the concrete
Look, somebody laid on the concrete
No time for that, ain't no lookin' back, cause I'm running too
I made it home, I woke up and turned on the morning news
Overcame with a feeling I can't explain
'Cause that was my nigga James that was slain, he was 22
(Last night at around...) He was 22
(22 year old black male, suspect, poor...)
(I swear to God bruh)
We're gathered here today...
(I swear to God)
To mourn the life of James McMillan Jr
(I swear to God—nigga, I'mma kill them niggas man)
A tragedy, another tragedy in the black community
(I promise you bro...)
We got to do better, people
22 years old, this boy was too young
(I promise you bro, I'mma kill them niggas bro...)
Our condolences go to his family, our prayers
(I'mma kill them niggas myself...)
We know he's in a better place
We know he's in a better place
But this has got to end, ladies and gentleman
We've got to come together, this is, this is beyond words
Now I'd like to open this ceremony with a verse fro...

I just read like all the People dont like the Album, Bit i Love Every Song because its just chilled
I feel like this song in my soul. 👌
*This song is crazy slept on!*
REALHIPHOPLOVE24 BIG FUCKING FACTS was looking this up on YouTube to see the view count after having this album on my Spotify for so long and man am I disappointed. At least I know there is a music video now
@idont know word up!
Now realizing that’s Ari Lennox
This is for my future self, writing this life has been tuff but ur still hanging there. If I do come back to this I hope we are doing great and everything you want is arms distance just make the first step. Let go and forgive because it’s hurts more to hold it in.
Still good ❤
“See I believe if God is real, he'll never judge a man
Because he knows us all and therefore he would understand
The ignorance that make a nigga take his brother's life
The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife” - Might just be the realest thing anyone ever said
J Cole gets it bro
Idk why but I was just listening to this again and I heard cole say “prodigal son , “got a new gun this one don’t run out of ammo lately been working on my handles” maybe this is my interpitation because I’m a hooper but My mans is talking about his shooting arm when he got a new gun that don’t run out of ammo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥just thought that was a major bar
2:40 the emotion in Coles voice from then on is the best part
that god not judging you bar is p fucking hard,come on
Ari Lennox would recognize that voice anywhere
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnGd7GnYYWU
“My intuition is telling me there will be better days”...man this song has gotten me through so many hard times 🔥
2019 baby goat status
For some reason the crying is rlly relaxing
My favorite Cole song
That’s Got To Be Ari!!!
Battlefield 4
This shit helps me to be better, to feel better
2:38 cold ass switch
First time seeing this video, but I could tell by hearing it for the first time that it was underrated. No surprise I found the video with only 4 millions views, this is a gem. Fr 🙌🏽
I Get Up 2.0
He sounds more like Bob Marley

Damn I've been singing this long to Ari's voice having no idea who she was
cole holding the game Like a newborn
"My intuition is telling me they'll be better days " - I love mouthful bars
THAT GUY ALWAYS IMPOSATURING...THE COURT CASE RESOLVED NOW@031...
My favorite Tupac or 2pac Song is called Changes and one of my favorite J.Cole songs Is Change. Wow😲🔥🔥
Best ever, he is amazing!!
2019? Reveal yourself
Reall s*** u just cant ignore.. forever my fav rapper
I ain’t gonna lie, I thought I was in VR
You know that your VIEWS likes are just at the distance of the site *AUTHENTIC VIEWS D O T C O M*
Incredible track and album
2:41 - Scattered like roaches a body laid on the concrete...a body laid on the concrete...look; Somebody laid on the concrete!
Powerful - He states there's a body on the concrete (an object), but then he moves you to realize that that was a person's life that was taken when he says "look *somebody* ....."
He goes from the body being an object to personifying it; That's some powerful shit!
My favorite Cole song of all time 😭
I saw Ari Lennox in person & didn’t even know it😭 i love herrrrrrr😍 fyeo tour🔥
one word
MMMMMMMAAAAAAADDDDDDD !!!!!!!!!!
J.COLE is by far the sickest rapper of this generation & the one next after us

Didn’t know Ari Lennox was singing on the track 🔥
J cole's greatness, he walks amongst all the legends. So underrated.
🔥👽🔥👽🔥
Why am I JUST realizing Ari is on the hook of this song omg😭
How come Cole still looks cool with the camera in that position, but when I take a selfie from that angle I look like a thumb?
Go watch 2Pac's made niggaz video. Once you watch it, you should know why I recommended it.
I love this song
Who's still listening in 2019?
Lil pump : gucci gang 100mil plus views
Jcole : real talent and lyrics 3mil
WUT HAS THIS WORLD CAME TO
PITHYES west hip hop in general has been dumbed down
Damn....
J Cole is my homie
Mine too
So, that was Ari in the video. Woah!
Damn how they not gon get the second verse, thats the best verse in the song😔😔😔
This J Cole reminds me of 90s hip hop. Tribe shit frfr
I feel like Pac's soul was in J cole when he wrote this
ari was on this song and i never knew, wow
"Life is all about the evolution"
His music is so transparent. He speaks the truth and I love it.
I Get Up 2.0
Truly beautiful. People don’t understand the beauty and the message in this album. Cole’s rap has meaning and people need to appreciate it.
Kids who hated on Cole 3 years ago for sake of memes will grow up, and in 10 years look back and love this album. I can guarantee it
Holy fuck that's ari lennox
love this song
j.cole is the goat I listen to all of his songs only rapper that don't rap about shooting niggas in ca†ching bodies
Please stop the hate on this man. 😭
I will be at his show 1 day and I'm hopping that day will come
True poetry pouring out of this song
Doin' dirt, hoping to God, He know my intentions
To see a million 'fore I see a casket
I've never been happier to watch a video from the double chin angle.
Change is the song that put me on this album and made me sure that whatever he puts out is worth listening to
2019😭😭😭i used to play this song with my bae now she my ex😭😭😭😭
I miss her so bad
Life is all about the evolution man
