[Intro: The Force MD's]
    Whoaahhhoahhh, oahhhohhhhh
  It's been a long, long
  A long time coming
  A change gon' come
    [Verse One: Ghostface]
    Yo, yo these streets got me backed down how can I escape?
  How can I survive without bubblin weight?
  It's prepared for the stand off, once you hand off
  that white rock, and then give birth to a knot
  Your biggest dream was to rock your 850 and beam
  You and the Gods buy a crib in the white part of Queens
  But at the same time, niggaz on the block is ill
  Some'll rock you to sleep, hap, for selling cross pills
  Being watched all day like enemy's prey
  Faces, you never seen before is in your hallway
  Brothers you knew for years is mad pussy and scared
  Back in the days U.F.O.'s couldn't walk up in here
  It's time to motor, travel like a foul order
  Clear my head, stay sober, the soul controller
    [Chorus: The Force MD's]
    Oahhhh, it's been a long, long
  A long time coming
  A change gon' come
  Oh, yes it will
  Said I'm too, tired of livin
  But I'm, but I'm afraid to die
  Cause I don't know what's up there
  In that great big ol' sky
    [Verse Two: Ghostface]
    Sink deep into the fog, big buffalo large
  Taj Mahal just got banged, shanked for eighty dollars
  It's hard to keep up, with these key-ons, that smoke dust
  In the U.S. Mint they want to rock the place and call the rush
  All these shameless niggaz armed with cherry-red Bally's
  On the twenty-fifth, everybody rich is gettin married
  Killed for power beans, your brother own schools in Medina
  Vaseline lips is cracked cause they all had dreams
  They overdue, these Gods own a mosque in Peru
  Tropical trees and weaves where they grew bamboo
  Olympic minds quick flash like a leak on
  A hundred shares short to own Nissan, watch em get they feast on
  Royal blue lies inside the eyes of heaven
  Curse the head, who speak foul and jinx number seven (seven)
  Clear my head and stay sober, the soul controller...
  (Stay sober, the soul controller)
    [Chorus: The Force MD's]
    Oahhh, been a long time comin
  Oh yeah
  A change gon' come
  Woooaahh, yes it will
    [Verse Three: Ghostface]
    Yo, yo we sit and play the wall like nine super heroes
  Late for the man choose and hit socks and stereos
  The kid's nice, warnin you twice, run your garmets
  Jet to Providence, switch up and back down your Parliament
  Ironman is laced with a plate inside the dome piece
  Go off in airports, biographies, prophecies
  Watch me set it, real key-ons hold down the desert
  And walk with a famous name like Supreme Magnetic
  Carbon copy, I love my car, it's near choppy
  Melachi off the funky pain with the wax poppy on instrumentals
  Niggaz get lost like S.S. Minnows
  Turned out like rentals, keep gold around the denim
    [Outro Part One: The Force MD's]
    A change gon come
  Yes it will
  It's been a long, long
  A long time coming
  A change gon come
  Wooo, yes it will
  Said I'm so
  Tired of living
  But I'm, but I'm afraid to die
  Cause I don't know what's up there
  In that great, big ol sky
  Oh my, oh my, oh my
  It's been a long, long time
  A long time coming
  Change gonna come
  Wooo, yes it will
    [Outro Part Two: (from the motion picture "Carlito's Way")]
    Sorry boys,
  All the stitches in the world can't sew me together again
  Lay down, lay down
  Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on hun and ninth street
  Always knew I'd make a stop there
  But a lot later than a whole gang of people thought
  Last of the Mohicans
  Well, maybe not the last
  Can't come with me on this trip, Loaf
  Gettin the shakes now
  Last call for drinks
  Bar's closin down
  Sun's out
  Where we goin for breakfast?
  Don't wanna go far
  Rough night
  Tired, baby
  Tired...
    [Outro Part Three: (from the motion picture "The Usual Suspects")]
    Greatest trick the devil ever pulled
  Was convincing the world he didn't exist
  And like that, he's gone
