Song lyrics

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Mama Mavis, oh,
Mama, they tried my patience,
Obama is gone, who is left to save us?
So together we mourn, I'm prayin' for my neighbors,
They say the devil's at work and Trump is callin' favors.
You say I'm dangerous, I speak for the nameless,
I fly with the vultures, I be with them bangers,
If change don't come, then the change won't come,
If the bands make 'em dance, then the rain gon' come.
Woo!

[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passing into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? Look into your eyes!
All the world is out of your hands,
Then ascending into the dark, let me out.
You got to die a little if you wanna live,
Change come to pass,
Change come to pass,
You'd best be ready for it.

[Hook: 2D]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time,
But I won't get tired at all.
Let me out, let me out,
Let me out, let me out.

[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Look into my eyes, mama, tell me what you see,
Tell me there's a chance for me to make it off the streets,
Tell me that I won't die at the hands of the police,
Promise me I won't outlive my nephew and my niece,
Promise me my pastor isn't lyin' as he preach,
Tell me that they'll listen if it's lessons that I teach,
Tell me there's a heaven in the sky where there is peace,
But until then, I keep my piece in arm's reach.

[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passing into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? Look into your eyes!
All the world is out of your hands,
Then ascending into the dark, Another night.
You got to die a little if you wanna live,
Change coming,
You'd best be ready for it.

[Hook: 2D]
Something I've begun to fear is about to change its form,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a shift in time,
But I won't get tired at all.

[Chorus: Mavis Staples]
Am I passing into the light?
Am I looking into mercy's eyes? Look into your eyes!
All the world is out of your hands,
Then ascending into the dark. Another night.
You got to die a little if you wanna live,
Change coming,
You'd best be ready for it.
Be ready, ready for it,
Be ready, be ready!
Let me out.
