If you grow up thinking your life will go a certain way, then when you reach that crossroads and end up choosing differently, this song is for you. Inspired by Love Won't be Mine This Way by Bob Marley and the Wailers. Featuring vocals from Shukranah Shukrullah.

Will it ever be mine?

Verse 1
I been runnin’ with a goal in mind
Feels like a long time
And I find 
That the river of my life 
Can feel just like 

sunshine peepin through a cloudy day
Bag juice here to answer my prayer
Wata comin with a mannish taste
slippers dem burst but im on my way

Chorus
its been a long, a long time coming
Its been a long, a long time coming

Verse 2:
Silly that I couldn't find the words to relay
i'm doing this my way
Yeah I don't know my place (Thank God)
Fancy that I Him take my hands
and place me on a path that inevitably flows to greater

It could rain down chaos
Or peace 
It could be fortune
wouldn't matter to me
cause my mind is something I’ve trained to be

Chorus
From a long, a long time coming 
(Sunshine peepin through a cloudy day)
Its been long, since change has been coming (Slippers dem burst but I'm on my way)

Bridge (DJ)
Hadn't written words in a long time
What do I percieve and feel?
What do I believe to heal
The cynic who steals
The optimist's appeal
Introspecting through our cities
Can't escape my mind
Thought it's easy
I was just in time
I was next in line
Demi's over
Don't wanna go back inside
It's the devil 
He lied

Decades over days
Money over fame
Living over all the same same

Never? better late
Mad better create
Use the sad
make the bed
rotate

It's the state of grace
I can face the do to be
Never noticed when I passed the dream
The audacity to be me now is living rent free

I'm that girl who knows she has the world
Watch my enemies unfurl
Paint their pictures feed the birds
Soar above the accent clouds
SPeak until my voice gives out
Now you hear me now you - now
Now you hear me now you - now
Now you hear me now you- now

We're that girl who knows she has the world
Watch our enemies unfurl
Paint their pictures feed the birds
Soar above the accent clouds
Scream until our voice gives out
Now you hear us now you - now
Now you hear us now you - now
Now you hear us 

Chorus
From a long, a long time coming
Its been long, that change has been coming 

Outro
Change is coming
Change is coming
Change is coming
Don’t you feel it?
Change is coming
It’s been long
A long time coming
