THE CHANGE

Thought I understood a couple things Then change intervened Now it ain't what it seemed Ain't what it seemed Thought I understood a couple things Then change intervened Now it ain't what it seemed Nah nah Dealing with a pain in your veins You can blame everything Or reframe what you've seen Yah yah Power of His name I refuse to let shame hit the scene If it do let it bang Nah nah If change won't change Then I can't be the same If change won't change Then I can't be the same Can't be the same little man That was thinking that the world's so grand I was wasting my time Now I'm hip to the plan Pain to the faith's like flame to the pan How you think I'm cookin wit this pen in my hand Seen a couple homies come alive in their dreams Then they die to themselves and wake up to be men When one thing ends then another can begin But until I grew older I couldn't understand Nah Seen a lifetime on demand Yah Sized myself by the Gram Nah Pushed away friends and the fam Tryna fight for a feeling that just wouldn't land This for the souls who convinced themselves That their life is a sham if their goals don't span If you let it all go will you get it in the end Thought I understood a couple things Then change intervened Now it ain't what it seemed Nah nah Dealing with a pain in your veins You can blame everything Or reframe what you've seen Yah yah Power of His name I refuse to let shame hit the scene If it do let it bang Nah nah If change won't change Then I can't be the same If change won't change Then I can't be the same I can't be the same I can't be the same I can't be the same I can't be the same We can't be the same We can't be the same We can't be the same We can't be the same Can't be the same you What happened to switchin' the angle Brush dipped in fear always paints true The old you would turn from what's brand new Can't be the same you What happened to switchin' the angle Brush dipped in fear always paints true The old you would turn from what's brand new Yeah but what about all the moments I heard I could have it all Like you can be taking off Aim for the moon and star Is what you'll slowly become I been running from the applause Afraid to be getting lost Afraid to be blocking Cross Afraid to find imma fail in the making Breaking the chains to replace it with something Tempted by Satan throughout it all I seen way too many fall Whether they're big or small They remind me Trust the Lord Cuz all in all Who can you trust in a war I try running alone and end up hitting the wall Too bankrupt in the soul to ever reach for a loan The anger stuck in my bones is fear of losing control Therapy helps me figure out what I gotta dethrone Prayer be helping letting it go I stay in that zone Isaiah be making music to leave behind like a stone THE CHANGE is like a river how it flows you know The change is like a river how it flows you know The change is like a river how it flows
