Change (feat. Strange Fruit Project & Rez)

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 The Author of Life offers His life vest
