Change

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
