CHANGE - Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Johnta Austin

These are tough times we live in, but still we can’t just give in

We must stand tall and live strong, it’s up to the youth to live on

And carry this torch we pass down

You see, I know it’s not the last round

In the next generation, my faith is unwavering

My confidence in you is unshakeable

Because I know that you’re willing and far beyond capable

Of doing all that must be done

But to do it all, we must be as one

Life can be better than most of us dream (Yeah)

So once you take the reins

Believe in your greatness which lies within

And for the better, this world will change

I see that you want it (Want it), I see that you’re working for it

So don’t take no days off, it’s gonna pay off

I see that you love it (Love it), I want you to know that

Before you can see it, you gotta believe it

You’re the generation of tomorrow

The pursuit starts today

And all time is borrowed (Mmm, mmm)

So you have none to waste

You are not (You are not), oh, I repeat

You are not put on this Earth to lose (Lose, nah)

And you are hot (You are hot), yeah, I repeat it

That you are hot, so do what you do

And we gon' do it big (Yeah), we gon' make a scene (Yeah)

We gon' take the doubters, make 'em all believe

We gon' be the change that we wanna see

We’re not taking average, chasing legend status

We can have the world, we can have it all

Nothing is too big, nothing is too small (Oh)

We can be the change that we wanna see

We’re not taking average, chasing legend status

Ooh, nah-nah

I see that it’s in your heart, I see that it’s in your heart

I feel it (I feel it), I feel your desire

It only takes one spark, it only takes one spark (Yeah)

To set it, to set it on fire

You’re the generation of tomorrow, oh

But the work starts today

And all time is borrowed (Yeah)

So there’s no time to waste (Yeah)

And you are not (You are not), yeah I repeat

That you are not (You are not) put on this Earth to lose (Lose)

And you are hot (You are hot), yeah, I repeat it

You are hot, so do what you do (Do what you do)

And we gon' do it big, we gon' make a scene (Scene)

We gon' take the doubters (Oh), make 'em all believe

We gon' be the change that we wanna see

We’re not taking average, chasing legend status

We can have the world, we can have it all

Nothing is too big, nothing is too small

We can be the change (Be the change) that we wanna see (That we wanna see)

We’re not taking average, chasing legend status (Let's go)

You can have anything you want

But know the work must still be done (Work must still be done)

And how we will change the world is in your own hands (Just believe that you

can)

What is a dream (What is a dream) without action?

Nothing but a reason to stay asleep, you gotta wake up (You gotta wake up)

Make a decision, life is for the living

And it’s yours but you gotta go get it, oh

And we gon' do it big (Woo), we gon' make a scene (Yeah)

We gon' take the doubters (We gon' take the doubters), make 'em all believe

(Make 'em all believe)

We gon' be the change (Ooh, ooh) that we wanna see (That we wanna see)

We’re not taking average (No, no), chasing legend status

We can have the world, we can have it all

Nothing is too big, nothing is too small

We can be the change (We can be the change) that we wanna see (That we wanna

see)

We’re not taking average (Oh, oh), chasing legend status

We gon' do it big, yeah

Woah, nothing, ooh, woah, ooh, woah

Do it, all we gotta do is do it

Nothing, nothing, nothing can stop us now

No, ooh
