Today Lyrics - Nile - Patrice

[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]
