(Intro) It's funny right? They say things that change No more messages in the music Record sales down Gas prices up No more love from your love No more love for your love Change is all overdue Something's gotta give! Big Boi!! (Big Boi) You can trot around the planet or watch it on the news Somebody is getting shot the weather man's looking confused He's reporting to a nation full of zombies Strung out on starbucks and stitched up and pitching Abercrombie Don't get it mixed up me too I get Insomni...a at times but don't be walkin round here blind Feelin' all the rhymn trying to find a righteous path It's a pilling when I rhymn so everytime I hit the mass...es You know, the common folk. Blue collared day to day workers that squeeze a dollar So they maybe can swallow a little not a lota just enough to fill that bottle but it's 2 million dollars a gallon Just to get to work tomorrow that's if you gotta get it, you can't swim in carpool You Rob Peter to Pay Paul to make due Make you wanna write a note and take a pistol to that bank too And pass it to the teller But you know better (Mary J. Blige) Chorus: They're trying to tell us to stay strong But everyday we're losing jobs Now it's park out to Beverly Hills Something's gonna have to give Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here If you can hear me on Capitol hill Something's gonna have to give (Big Boi) The great debators debate about who's the greatest MC Subject matter don't matter because the worst is empty No Reafer thought nothing to no brain to digest so I guess it'd be a Bat on who can Jive talk the best But I give them light on like the traffic I direct Inspiring their life like they was actors on my set As if I was a politic, I'm higher than a 10 I'd be a liar if I wasn't sick and tired of this mess (Mary J. Blige) Chorus: They're trying to tell us to stay strong But everyday we losing jobs (every day, every day) Now it's park out to Beverly Hills Something's gonna have to give. (Give it up y'all) Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here. (Over here) If you can hear me on Capitol hill Something's gonna have to give. (Ohh, Yeah) (Mary J.Blige) Single mother in a struggle and it's no fun But you don't really understand until you are one A child's hide and seek game is losing it's endurance She want to fix it but she ain't got no insurance Now we don't even want to talk about the man's plight Out on parol with the promise that he'll do right But a felon has no chance for a new start So it's back to doing hand to hand on his own plight That night went all the same, and I know you feel my pain And the only hope I have to help me deal with the Drama Is that baby in November I'll be cheering for Obama. (Mary J.Blige) They're trying to tell us to stay strong (Yeah) But everyday we losing jobs (Everyday) Now it's park out to Beverly Hills Something's gonna have to give (Give it up Give it up) Across the world they live in fear But it's the same thing over here (Over Here) If you can hear me on Capitol hill (Listen to me now) Something's gonna have to give (Give it up y'all) (Big Boi) The world is too big. Free your mind or be stuck like porcupine Left behind that's the bottom line Gotta find the grind cause the time won't be coming back around getting lined. The world is too big Step on the stars while you're reaching for the sun But never burn a bridge, each one, teach one If you lend a helping hand, you may never be one The world, the world is too big (Mary J. Blige) And I heard him say that every man, woman and child was gonna be okay I heard him say that they would bring our soldiers back in one piece today The world is too big But it's not that way They've been selling us a dream Telling us we're on the same team Not we all gotta deal with the lies! (Mary J. Blige) Chorus: They're trying to tell us to stay strong (Yeah!) But everyday we losing jobs (Every day!) Now it's park out to Beverly Hills (Whoa whoa) Something's gonna have to give (Have to give!) Across the world they live in fear (Oh yeah) But it's the same thing over here (Over here) If you can hear me on Capitol hill (I know you hear me) Something's gonna have to give. (Yeah)
