Lyrics

All of my life, I've been stuck in my ways
But I ain't the same,
I've been forced to change
Staring in the mirror, reconciling with my pain
2023 I couldn't recognize my face
When I was just a jit I was out running from the Jakes
Started dodging bullets as I progressed with age
Started breaking hearts, and saying "don't forget ya ring"
Losing my mind, and I thought it was a phase
But it's clearer now, depression and bipolar got me sick
I can hear it now, anxiousness is my attachment
I don't fear it now, the anger that I held within
Suicidal ideation, but I can't let them win
Paranoid, I'm feeling paranoid
Heart getting cold, might start another war
Leave me alone, there goes another voice
Escapism never fill the void
A tiger doesn't change his stripes
That's my time after time excuse
After my misuse and abuse
After hurting you and you
After feeling pain and regret
and getting stress off my chest
After fighting the enemy when the enemy is myself
Stripes
A tiger doesn't change his stripes
But I'm a human being
I had way too much pride in me
Hypomania, I can accomplish anything
And I cannot be touched
Then the high meets the low
I forget about my goals
I just try to carry on
Then I just lighten the load
Forgive myself and give me space and time to grow
Silent moments to cope
I've never felt so damn alone
This might be karma
This might be trauma
Sins of my mother
Sins of my father
Why do I bother
Cause I'm a killa in the jungle
Just gotta remain humble
I got my eyes on the prize, and I will not fumble
If you see me now
Know there won't ever be another
If you hold it down, I can show you ways through the struggle
Watch me show you how, I change my internal suffer
A tiger doesn't change his stripes
That's my time after time excuse
After my misuse and abuse
After hurting you and you
After feeling pain and regret
and getting stress off my chest
After fighting the enemy when the enemy is myself
You, you, you got the power
See you, you can change
You, you, you, you got the power to change everything
You, you, you, you. you got the power
See you, you can change
You, you, you got the power to change everything
You, you, you got the power
See you, you can change
You, you, you, you got the power to change everything
You, you, you got the power
See you, you can change
You, you, you got the power to change everything
