Change

Soon as I open my eyes, I realize that I could be gone

The days of our lives don't take long

And any moment you blink

Might be another golden moment extinct

And I'm just hoping that you only would think maybe re-think

Cause my mission's not to kill or cause friction

In every living man's a walking contradiction

As Dark and Light collab to make a full composition

I know experiences not opted or propositioned

If I chose to not listen

While I was caught in a spot without a pot to piss in

I probably wouldn't be spittin'

While I'm knowing that the block is hot

I stand firm like Al Sharp's perm and give it all that I've got

We're tryin' to tear down the walls of hate to bring change

And some of ya'll screamin' bump the Strange

They just haters perhaps

Either way man they better relax

An ex-con that's about to relapse

Done got a hold of the mic

Cause ya'll brotha's wasn't holdin' it right

And I'm a flow until the closing of light to bring change

I see the times have changed

But in the eyes of some

Yo, we still the same niggas

Parents is cold killers

With no conscience, left or right

Not afraid of pulling them triggers

As we enter these troubled times

Sometimes I feel I'm better off

Cause ya'll ain't trying to listen anyway

Understand the words spoken from a poet

We need to bring the love back

And put it in their soul, kid

We all struggle with change but it won't happen fast

God shines through the insecurity on the news casts

Welcome to the struggle

Where a poet's gotta rhyme hustle

Going through it blind

Cus I know its more then mind and muscle

When the Divine humbles my pride crumbles

My eyes bubble with tears

Making it clear where I stumble

It's like I'm double when in trouble I got two sides

My life's a puddle till the sudden glimpse of blue skies

Carries the rain away it varies from day to day

No matter where we say we've changed

Remember Who remains the same

We sending prayers out in His name

With the hopes it might help you cope

Given the praise to God if you felt what I wrote

Head nodding till I melt into notes

Heart throbbing put a swell in my throat

Smooth sailing till we fell of the boat

Now we swimming in sin

Treading waiting for out ship to come in

Deep breath just before the water entered my chest
