Change
AUGUST ALSINA
Every day that I'm alive, I try to life it to the fullest
Keep my pistol and believe me I'll pull it
If a nigga tryna kill me, I know what I gotta do
Hope somebody feel me cause you know that I done seen a lot
Just a young nigga grinding for the block, tryna reach the top
Being broke would turn the bitches off, now they pussy pop
Tryna get the cash I got, now found love
Cause all these bitches ass got shots and they so proud
But I ain't judging, if you thought I was, I wasn't
Cause I don't wanna hit it once and I ain't cuffing
Young, wild niggas on here, can't tell me nothing
Cause I remember when a nigga ain't had nothing
Now I came up, I got a lil something, tryna turn a lil bit to a lot
Like when lovers turning cocaine to pot
I went through the soda straight out the box
Hoping when this shit drop it will rock, hoping when my shit drop it will rock
Cause ain't shit changed even since my nigga Pac got banged
Some of the players switched up
But it's the same old game
I see no change, so I guess I gotta be that change
I'm just outchea doing what I gotta do
Showing young niggas how to make it through
Cause I had to get it out the muscle, I can never loose the hustle
Cause I represent the struggle
A change
Guess now you can see there's a better way
So when we there, we'll make it to a better place
Guess it's looking like this shit will change
I'm hoping I can be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
Make the whole world change
We could be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
So many people outchea with nowhere to go
Mother's loosing their children for reasons nobody know
Places with no suns and nothing can grow
And people in poverty wishing they could be more
Making brand new kicks can make you rich
Rather be in brand new whips than pay our rent
Single momma's got 4 kids the income's fixed
Baby daddy's out on bond, still ain't shit
Never took the time to notice
The person in the reflection is the real focus
If we could change with them then I'll notice
Historically ain't nobody looking out for us, all they ever had was doubt for us
Cause ain't shit changed even since my nigga Pac got banged
Some of the players switched up
And it's the same old game
I see no change, so I guess I gotta be that change
Yeah
Im guilty of daydreaming that i could change the world
(Laughter)
You cam laugh all you want but you can't blame a man for dreaming
I den seen so many people life go downhill
Because they gave up they stopped believing they just stopped dreaming
