Lyrics
0:09If I make it out alive I will make a change
0:18I need a change it's evident
0:20A transformation imminent
0:23A chance for my soul's intelligence
0:25To redefine lines of indifference
0:27I ride past the spirit with the
0:29Well scratched pad
0:30Always looking at my poetry for
0:31The reasons I had
0:32Never stopped and let someone
0:33Else take the wheel
0:34Now I'm in the backseat like what
0:35The f*ck is real
0:36Got to bury the hatchet
0:38Bones no casket
0:39The dead don't dance to a liars message
0:41So restless
0:42'Cross it off my checklist
0:44Poetical warfare a bear with horse hair
0:46He's reckless acts like he's got a deathwish
0:48True hey hoka tricking the trickster
0:51Laws of nature loyal creature
0:53Son of the most high willing to wager my plan
0:56And Imma stick to it
0:57And Imma ultimately liberate my consciousness
1:00I want the change
1:02I will make a change
1:09If I make it out alive I'll come out
1:12On the other side
1:14If the sacrifice I owe is the reason
1:17That I die
1:18And I know this too shall pass so
1:20I put it in the past
1:23And of all the things I fear it isn't now
1:26And it isn't here
1:27I'll make a change
1:30I will make a change
1:36It comes at a cost and that's obvious
1:39My list of distractions is infinite
1:41My delusions of grandeur are all equipped
1:44With dark lords back doors and some wizard sh*t
1:46Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
1:48And I oughta take myself more seriously
1:50'Cause what comes through me no it ain't no trick
1:53And I know that all of us are born with
1:54Different gifts so
1:55Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back
1:57On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks
2:00I didn't come here to drone out and drag my feet
2:02Stand in quicksand both hands and accept defeat
2:04I got work to do let me get back at it
2:07The clock is tickin' I can hear it through
2:08The static
2:09Now I'm not being dramatic enemies don't
2:11Sleep
2:11In fact some aren't human and that's hard
2:13To believe
2:13'Cause I'm such a visual person my third
2:15Eye don't lie
2:16He's a wise guy inside even fooled
2:17Himself twice
2:18Thinking maybe I'm not ready to be
2:20Leading the way
2:20I mean f*ck I'm only human bound to
2:22Make some mistakes
2:23An earthquake took place within my
2:24Lifetime of fear I hear this too shall
2:26Pass the beginning is near
2:27I want the change
2:30I will make a change
2:37If I make it out alive I'll come out
2:39On the other side
2:41If the sacrifice I owe is the reason
2:44That I die
2:46And I know this too shall pass so
2:48I put it in the past
2:50And of all the things I fear it isn't
2:53Now and it isn't here
2:55I'll make a change
2:58I will make a change
3:04I wanna walk in righteousness
3:06But I keep tripping over ditches of my
3:08Selfishness
3:09I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist
3:11I keep beating round the bush instead
3:12Of facing it
3:13So I'm facing it some gladiator sh*t
3:16Yeah I'm rippin' over rhythms yeah
3:17I'm healin' it
3:18But it's non stop knocks from the mountain
3:20Top to the city block to the
3:22Tanks stop and block
3:23Another brother got shot dead on
3:24The sidewalk
3:25While the cops doing inside jobs
3:27And I'm shocked
3:28So my hands are stretched out to
3:29The sky
3:30Got some poems in my left and a
3:31Gun in my right
3:32And my eyes'll cry over bulletproof pride
3:34'Cause I know I didn't come to make it out alive
3:37And I thrive in the midst of a battle
3:39Front lines you can see me in the struggle
3:41These are the songs of a walk towards revival
3:43Even brave men can put down their rifles
3:46I got my orders and Imma follow them
3:48You can find me kickin' back inside the lion's den
3:50I'm making friends and amends with some evil men
3:53Gonna bring them in and inject them with
3:54The medicine
3:55Imma do no harm but I'm a take no sh*t
3:57And I'm a build a bridge out of the emptiness
4:00And then potentially well Imma live to be
4:02The hardest working bear in the f*cking industry
4:07I will make a change
4:11I will make a change
4:16I 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 scratched pad Always looking at my poetry for The reasons I had Never stopped and let someone Else take the wheel Now I'm in the backseat like what The f*ck is real Got to bury the hatchet Bones no casket The dead don't dance to a liars message So restless 'Cross it off my checklist Poetical warfare a bear with horse hair He's reckless acts like he's got a deathwish True hey hoka tricking the trickster Laws of nature loyal creature Son of the most high willing to wager my plan And Imma stick to it And Imma ultimately liberate my consciousness I want the change I will make a change If I make it out alive I'll come out On the other side If the sacrifice I owe is the reason That I die And I know this too shall 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 comes at a cost and that's obvious My list of distractions is infinite My delusions of grandeur are all equipped With dark lords back doors and some wizard sh*t Well I did not know they were gonna choose me And I oughta take myself more seriously 'Cause 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 and 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 'Cause 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 f*ck I'm only human bound to Make some mistakes An earthquake took place within 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 I'll come out On the other side If the sacrifice I owe is the reason That I die And I know this too shall 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 bush instead Of facing it So I'm facing it some gladiator sh*t Yeah I'm rippin' over rhythms yeah I'm healin' it But it's non stop knocks from 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 I'm 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 'Cause 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 Imma 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 inject them with The medicine Imma do no harm but I'm a take no sh*t And I'm a build a bridge out of the emptiness And then potentially well Imma live to be The hardest working bear in the f*cking industry I will make a change I will make a change I will make a change
