Plat

de Patrice Roberts

Chorus:
I will change the world today
I don't care what the people say
There's a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebell I kill the devil

I was so close to resigning
Saying fuck the world and just move to an island
All of these people seek dem neon enlightments
We are blinded
World leaders too money minded
(But then)
Music is my mission and jah works my assignement
I come from Iceland, Freetown salon, land of diamonds
We're pushing stones bigger than a girl in the 9th month
See Americans ah turn the world in a timebomb
We ain't got no hoods, we have real slums
Where ten year olds have you leaving
On two hands with two stumps
And no clothes and no funds
I was deep down in a hole giving up my life once
So insecure I couldn't even see the sky once
So my energy would grow out of silence
"how you gonna change the world?"-
I will change it with my hands
We haffi response before the rivers run dry
And the stars fall from the sky these days
Love is just a word but I will try and…

Chorus
I will change the world today
I don't care what the people say
There's a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebel I kill the devil

I will change the world today
I'm gonna pave the way
For a brighter day to come
Cause I'm a rebel I kill the devil

I failed, I lied, betrayed, got played
Was scared, was blind, not straight, had hate
Gone astray, was lost, was vain, loved fame
But my strength of today lays in yesterday's pain
I stole, was sold, was bold, I chilled
I killed, I fell, I rose, you know
I've lost a fight before
But I won't lose the war

Chorus

This ain't about the bad ones
It's about the one who no care
Who's too fat to be bothered
Too lazy and scared
To whom changing this world
Would mean send his world to hell
And destroy an illusion
That served him so well
Good things never come easy
Start with reflection of self
To some this might sound cheesy
But the truth afi tell
Some caught up in survival
Think it's them that need help
You never know that material
Could never be wealth

Chorus
