Change the System Lyrics

Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change up the system?
We're gonna change up the system
A man don't know, if a man don't show
It takes more than some bravery for the situation grows,
Communicate so vital, the whole world at an idle,
Lose all your fronts and put down every rifle,
It's time for us to see,
Time for you and me,
Too much greed, while so many bleed,
Now that it's been said, put that shit to bed,
Break it off, shake it off, take a hit, light it up, take a hit
You say you got a feeling to change up the system,
Oh we can light the scene, be justice of the peace, create an unseen,
Come use your head, we got ten times the power than some gunshots leaving some dead,
Listen up, ready gotta make some shit right,
We're standing up against the ones who take away lives,
I mean it like, who wants to live a life, hiding from a war between some 45's tryin to survive,
Common now,
How many times you seen a glock used in self-defense?
Well than less than 15 percent, so repossess their guns
Do you really wanna own one for the sake of it?
Think about black on black crime, what you think of that?
Poor people struggle everyday, and the rich get richer, what a fucked up state,
So no more hate,
Now let us rise up to the top,
We'll spread a little love instead of seeing gunshots
Think quick, don't sit, come get, that's it, make it, commit yourself for a little bit, no no no
Oh my, time flies, short life, no cry, one time, kiss the fucking violence goodbye, whoa oh
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change up the system?
We're gonna change up the system
Well I'll be singing till the day I die,
Using words, not the gun, cuz the words show the wise,
On the side, it's the bullet I despise,
Forget your fucking clip, stop!
Shouldn't even be there to buy,
How many heads have got their morals tied up in a knot?
They forgot firing shots means a lot, naughty naught,
Killin' some is ending plots,
And the dreams of children growing up are cut short from the gat,
Do you really wanna own one for the sake of it?
Think about PEACE, don't you know there's a hope for that,
And while we struggle everyday, remember that,
LOVE starts with a passion to pursue fighting hate,
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change up the system
A man don't know if a man don't show,
It takes more than some bravery for the situation grows,
Communicate so vital, the whole world at an idle,
Lose all your fronts and put down every rifle,
It's time for us to see,
Time for you and me,
Too much greed, while so many bleed,
Now that it's been said, put that shit to bed,
Break it off, shake it off, take a hit, light it up, take a hit
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
You say you gotta feelin' to change up the system whoa whoa whoa
You say you're gonna put down your weapon of destruction
Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change up the system?
Who's gonna change it up?

On Jan 10th, 2012 the Santa Barbara, CA based band Rebelution released "Peace of Mind" through their own label 87 Music in partnership with Controlled Substance Sound Labs. Peace of Mind was released as a multi-length triple album which includes Peace of Mind: Acoustic as well as Peace of Mind: Dub. Marking the highest chart debut of Rebelution’s career, Peace of Mind debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 Reggae and #1 Independent albums as well as #4 on the iTunes overall album chart. The band previously had four top 10 albums on the Reggae chart and their 2009 release Bright Side of Life debuted at No. 54 on the Top 200 and #1 Reggae.

Rebelution kicked off their “Peace of Mind Tour” the day after the release, selling out shows at Philly’s The Electric Factory, The Hollywood Palladium, Denver’s The Fillmore, The Fox Theater in Oakland and Hard Rock in Orlando, FL. The tour made stops in a total of 42 cities across the country.

Summer 2012 was spent supporting O.A.R on their Amphitheatre tour, headlining four amphitheaters in Florida as well as festival performances at Outside Lands, Hangout, Forecastle, Summer Camp, Summer Set, The Allman Bro’s Peach Festival and two performances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. After completing a Fall tour of the East and South East, Rebelution will be headlining The Hollywood Palladium on New Years Eve, heading to New Zealand for the Raggamuffins Festival in February and headlining their annual Winter Greens Tour around the USA in Feb - May 2013.

Peace of Mind marks the first time Rebelution has expanded beyond their usual self-production enlisting producers Michael Goldwasser (Easy Star All-Stars), Amp Live (Zion-I), Yeti Beats (Kool Keith, George Clinton), Keith Armstrong and Errol Brown (Stephen, Ziggy, Damian, and Bob Marley). The album builds upon the band’s signature style while venturing into new musical genres from the lush strings incorporated into the gentle “Route Around” to the driving guitar and synths throughout “Lady In White”.

Rebelution has developed into a front-runner for grassroots, independent and tour driven music groups. Originally formed in 2004, members Eric Rachmany (vocals / guitar), Rory Carey (keyboards), Wesley Finley (drums), and Marley D. Williams (bass) met in college, while residing in Isla Vista, a popular beachside community in Santa Barbara. It was there that the seeds to Rebelution’s future were planted creating inspiring and engaging music that would leave their listeners with the sense that they have the power to make this world a better place. The band continuously tours across the country, ventured to South America and Europe, and has previously performed at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits among others.
