A hip-hop track with a male rapper, featuring a prominent upright bass line, a simple drum machine beat with a strong kick and snare, and a high-pitched, almost cartoonish synth melody, The song is in a minor key, with a tempo of approximately 90 BPM, The vocal delivery is a spoken-word rap style, clear and forward in the mix, The production is clean with a focus on the rhythmic elements and the distinct synth melody, The song structure is verse-chorus with an instrumental break, The upright bass provides a walking bass line throughout, giving a jazzy undertone to the hip-hop beat, The synth melody is repetitive and catchy, acting as a hook, There are no complex chord progressions, relying on the bass line to imply harmony, The overall feel is somewhat dark and reflective, despite the upbeat tempo

[Chorus]
People gotta change
People gotta change, people gotta change, people gotta change
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better

[Verse 1]
Living in a world where people don't care
Who you are, why you are on welfare
Governors, governments, all the same
Playing for keeps to get money and to gain
While children are crying and starving for food
I think it's totally acceptable, is why it's so rude
Parents trying to raise kids with money they don't own
I'm making a mission, spread the word on the microphone
The world's so corrupted and full of evil
It's so sad to see people losing their faith
Trying to make ends meet with little they got
Living day by day like a "have or have not"
See the poor man on the corner begging in the streets
While the cars going by like it's some kind of dead beat
People gotta change, people gotta change
Before the world becomes dark and deranged

[Chorus]
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better

[Verse 2]
Hear it every day, child running away
From a home that's once lived in a long way
Thugs in hoods doing what they do
Not giving one thought about the public's point of view
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer
As work every day, sweating we endure
Crimes and greed grow from us like a weed
Beating from a head that we're going to see
A child been kidnapped from home or away
Finding out the father's been bailed that day
The hate and rage like we're going in trigger
If we don't generalize, the problem's getting bigger
I'm just a white boy just spitting to this beat
Are people going to listen to all the heat?
Are people gotta change, people gotta change
Before the world becomes dark and deranged

[Chorus]
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better
People gotta change the way we talk
People gotta change the way we live
People gotta change the way we work together
It's up to us to make the world better

[Verse 3]
9/11, a very tragic day
Pains and tears, remember and pray
Flames of fire burning in raw
As two towers crumbled into the floor
A drunk driver charged with a DUI
Finding out from tests he was stoned and high
US crashes and slides in recession
Our homes and money are being a threat
Running over a torch down in Frisco
Protest activists ranting like a disco
Our DJing party for a friend
Comes to a halt as gunshots descend
I pray to the Lord and beg and say
