If I make it out alive, I’ll make a change
Verse
Em
I need a change, it’s evident
C
A transformation imminent
Em C
A chance for my soul’s intelligence to redefine lines of indifference
Em
I ride past the spirit with the well scratched pad
C
Always looking at my poetry for the reasons I had
Em
Never stopped and let someone else take the wheel
C
Now I’m in the backseat like "what the fuck is real?"
Em
Got to bury the hatchet, bones no casket
C
The dead don’t dance to a liars message
Em
So restless, cross it off my checklist
C
Poetical warfare, a bear with horse hair
Em
He’s reckless, acts like he’s got a deathwish
C
True hey hoka, tricking the trickster
Em
Laws of nature, loyal creature
C Em
Son of the most high, willing to wager my plan
And Imma stick to it
C
And ultimately liberate my consciousness
Em
I want the change
C Em C
I will make a change
G Am Em D
If I make it out alive, I’ll see you on the other side
G Am Em D
If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die
G Am Em D
And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past
G Am Em D
And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here
Em C Em C
I’ll make a change, I will make a change
Verse
Em
Well it comes at a cost, and that’s obvious
C
My list of distractions is infinite
Em
My delusions of grandeur are all equipped
C
With dark lords, back doors, and some wizard shit
Em
Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
C
And I oughta take myself more seriously
Em
Cause what comes through me no it ain’t no trick
C
And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so
Em
Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back
C
On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks
Em
I didn’t come here to drone out and drag my feet
C
Stand in quicksand both hands and accept defeat
Em
I got work to do, let me get back at it
C
The clock is tickin’, I can hear it through the static
Em
Now I’m not being dramatic, enemies don’t sleep
C
In fact some aren’t human and that’s hard to believe
Em
Cause I’m such a visual person, my third eye don’t lie
C
He’s a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice
Em
Thinking maybe I’m not ready to be leading the way
C
I mean fuck, I’m only human, bound to make some mistakes
Em
An earthquake took place within my lifetime of fear
C
I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near
Em
I want the change
C Em
I will make a change
G Am Em D

Verse
C
I wanna walk in righteousness
Em
But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness
C
I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist
Em
I keep beating round the bush instead of facing it
Em
So I’m facing it, some gladiator shit
C
Yeah i’m rippin' over rhythms and I’m healin' it
Em
But it’s non-stop knocks from the mountain top,
C
to the city block. to the tanks: stop and block
Em
Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk
C
While the cops doing inside jobs and I'm shocked
Em
So my hands are stretched out to the sky
C
Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right
Em
And my eyes’ll cry over bulletproof pride
C
Cause I know I didn’t come to make it out alive
Em
And I thrive in the midst of a battle
C
Front lines you can see me in the struggle
Em
These are the songs of a walk towards revival
C
Even brave men can put down their rifles
Em
I got my orders, and Imma follow them
C
You can find me kickin´ back inside the lion’s den
Em
I’m making friends and amends with some evil men
C
Gonna bring them in and inject them with the medicine
Em
Imma do no harm, but I’m a take no shit
C
And I’m a build a bridge out of the emptiness
Em C
And then potentially well Imma live to be the hardest working bear in the fucking industry
C Em
I will make a change
C Em
I will make a change
C Em
I will make a change
