[00:00.00]If I make it out alive, I will make a change
[00:09.63]If I make it out alive, I will make a change
[00:18.64]I need a change, it's evident
[00:20.92]A transformation imminent
[00:23.36]A chance for my soul's intelligence to redefine lines of indifference
[00:27.83]I ride past the spirit with the well-scratched pad
[00:30.21]Always looking at my poetry for the reasons I had
[00:32.50]Never stopped and let someone else take the wheel
[00:34.63]Now I'm in the backseat like "what the **** is real?"
[00:37.06]Got to bury the hatchet
[00:38.38]Bones, no casket
[00:39.61]The dead don't dance to a liar's message
[00:41.73]So restless
[00:42.84]Cross it off my checklist
[00:44.11]Poetic warfare, a bear with horse hair
[00:46.29]He's reckless, acts like he's got a deathwish
[00:48.83]True hey hoka, tricking the trickster
[00:51.40]Laws of nature, loyal creature
[00:53.53]Son of the most high, willing to wager my plan
[00:56.73]And I'ma stick to it
[00:57.75]I'ma ultimately liberate my consciousness
[01:00.08]I want the change
[01:02.92](I will make a change)
[01:09.57]If I make it out alive, I'll come out on the other side
[01:14.04]If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die
[01:18.53]And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past
[01:23.40]And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here
[01:27.41]I'll make a change, (I will make a change)
[01:36.69]And it comes at a cost, well, that's obvious
[01:39.39]My list of distractions is infinite
[01:41.72]My delusions of grandeur are all equipped
[01:44.01]With dark lords, back doors, and some wizard shit
[01:46.24]Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
[01:48.58]And I oughta take myself more seriously
[01:50.87]'Cause what comes through me no it ain't no trick
[01:53.30]And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so
[01:55.73]Lift yourself from darkness, take a couple steps back
[01:57.92]On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks
[02:00.05]I didn't come here to drone out and drag my feet
[02:02.39]Stand in quicksand, both hands, and accept defeat
[02:04.67]I got work to do, let me get back at it
[02:07.00]The clock is tickin', I can hear it through the static
[02:09.34]Now I'm not being dramatic, enemies don’t sleep
[02:11.57]In fact some aren't human and that’s hard to believe
[02:13.91]'Cause I'm such a visual person, my third eye don't lie
[02:16.14]He's a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice
[02:18.47]Thinking maybe I'm not ready to be leading the way
[02:20.61]I mean, shit, I'm only human, bound to make some mistakes
[02:23.29]An earthquake took place within my lifetime of fear
[02:25.73]I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near
[02:28.05]I want the change
[02:30.39](I will make a change)
[02:37.23]If I make it out alive, I'll come out on the other side
[02:41.70]If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die
[02:46.26]And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past
[02:51.04]And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here
[02:55.24]I'll make a change, (I will make a change)
[03:04.82]I wanna walk in righteousness
[03:07.10]But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness
[03:09.40]I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist
[03:11.73]I keep beating'round the bush instead of facing it
[03:13.93]So I’m facing it, some gladiator ****
[03:16.21]Yeah I'm rippin'over rhythms, yeah I'm healin'it
[03:18.55]But it's non-stop knocks from the mountain tops
[03:20.88]To the city block. To the tanks: stop and block
[03:23.07]Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk
[03:25.55]While the cops doing inside jobs and I'm shocked
[03:27.94]So my hands are stretched out to the sky
[03:30.01]Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right
[03:32.49]And my eyes' ll cry over bulletproof pride
[03:34.79]'Cause I know I didn't come to make it out alive
[03:36.87]And I thrive in the midst of a battle
[03:39.14]Front lines, you can see me in the struggle
[03:41.53]These are the songs of a walk towards revival
[03:43.71]Even brave men can put down their rifles
[03:46.12]I got my orders, and I'ma follow them
[03:48.76]You can find me kickin'back inside the lion's den
[03:50.97]I'm making friends and amends with some evil men
[03:53.16]Gonna bring them in, inject them with the medicine
[03:55.49]I'ma do no harm, but I'ma take no shit
[03:57.90]And I'm a build a bridge out of the emptiness
[04:00.14]And then potentially, well, I'ma live to be
[04:02.41]The hardest working bear in the ******* industry
[04:04.70]Yeah!
[04:07.45]I will make a change
[04:11.91]I will make a change
[04:16.52]I will make a change
