Oh, oh, oh, oh

He's eleven years old and he cant read
But knows every song on the radio
Ask him 'bout what his dreams are and you will see
Their limited to what he sees on BET
Now I know what your thinkin,
Wait just let me finish
He's been a victim of a crime led by politicians
We cant stand back and watch another suffer
Gotta stand up and fight the system,
Teach our brothers
Throw your hands up, if you feelin what I'm feelin
Throw your hands up, if its time to make a move
Throw your hands up, I'm talkin to show and prove
Throw your hands up, church we gotta job to do
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
Fourteen years old, no self esteem
Comparing her body to magazines
Seeks attention from boys at school
They tell her she's cute, try to make a move
No father at home to tell her she's beautiful
Mama's working late, just to keep the fridge full
Nine months later, Tina's got a baby
Throw your hands up, if you feelin what I'm feelin
Throw your hands up, if its time to make a move
Throw your hands up, I'm talkin to show and prove
Throw your hands up, church we gotta job to do
Pushed to left the church,
Aint been to service lately
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
Listen, it's time to make a change
Let's step on the front line
Give the lost souls what they need
Food for their hearts, not
We talk about, preachin it & teachin the word
But we hesitate to hit the streets,
To give you the word
So its time to switch the game up
Let's lift more of his name up
The world needs help
So united we stand up
I'm talkin to the christians
Let's change and complete the mission
Thats reaching the lost
Thats what I call soul fishin'
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
It's time for a change
We cant keep it the same
We gotta step up our game
It's time for a change
We gotta lift up his name
We cant be ashamed
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
