ChangeJermaine Dupri

[Intro: Common]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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)

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bellinger]
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)

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 3: Ne-Yo]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
