If I make it out alive, I will make a change
If I make it out alive, I will make a change
I need a change, it's evident, a transformation imminent
A chance for my soul's intelligence to redefine lines of indifference
I ride past the spirit with the well scratch pad,
Always looking at my poetry for the reason's I had
And never stopped and let someone else take the wheel
Now I'm in the backseat like, "What the fuck is real?"
Bout to bury the hatchet, bones no casket,
The dead don't dance to a liars message
So restless cross it off my checklist,
Poetic warfare, a bear with horse hair, He's reckless,
Acts like he's got a deathwish
True hey Hoka, tricking the trickster
Loud to nature, loyal creature
Son of the most high, willing to wager my plan and I'm a stick to it
I'm a ultimately liberate my consciousness
I want the change
I will make a change
If I make it out alive, come out on the other side
It's the sacrifice I owe, it's the reason that I die
And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past
And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here
I'll make a change, I will make a change
It'll come to the cost, well that's obvious
My list of distractions is infinite
My delusions of grandeur are all equipped
With dark lords, backdoors, and some wizard shit
Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
And I oughta take myself more seriously
Cuz what comes through me no it ain't no trick
And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so
Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back
On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks
I didn't come here to drone out and drag my feet
Stand in quicksand both hands I accept defeat
I got work to do, let me get back at it
The clock is tickin', I can hear it through the static
Now I'm not being dramatic, enemies don't sleep
In fact some aren't human and that's hard to believe
Cuz I'm such a visual person, my third eye don't lie
He's a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice
Thinking maybe I'm not ready to be leading the way
I mean fuck, I'm only human, bound to make some mistakes
An earthquake took place in my lifetime of fear,
I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near
I want the change
I will make a change...
If I make it out alive, come out on the other side
It's the sacrifice I owe, it's the reason that I die
And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past
And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here
I'll make a change, I will make a change
I wanna walk in righteousness,
But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness
I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist
I keep beating round the bushes til they're facing it
So I'm facing it, some gladiator shit
Yea I'm rippin over rhythm, and I'm healin it
But it's non-stop knocks in the mountain top,
To the city block, to the tanks stop and block
Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk,
While the cops doing inside jobs and im shocked
So my hands are stretched out to the sky
Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right
And my eyes'll cry over bulletproof pride
Cuz I know I didn't come to make it out alive
And I thrive in the midst of a battle,
Front lines you can see me in the struggle
These are the songs of a walk towards revival
Even brave men can put down their rifles
I got my orders and I'm a follow them
You can find me kickin back inside the lion's den
I'm making friends and amends with some evil men
Gonna bring them in and check them with the medicine
I'm a do no harm, but I'm a take no shit
And I'm a build a bridge out of the emptiness
And then potentially well I'm a live to be
The hardest working bear in the fucking industry
I will make a change
I will make a change
I will make a change
