Change

Down bad for a minute
Waiting on better days
The cash ain't coming in
You working hard
You tryna get a raise
Cause you tired of getting by
On minimum wage
I see you training through the pain
Grinding for your hurdles and relays
Tryna drop music
But you keep facing delays
Battling demons
Heading to church on Sundays
Dropping tears
As you try to pray
Another homies out there
Surrounded by family but feels alone
On holidays
Meditating
Trying to find a way
Hoping that the pain will go away
Another homies
Down bad
Been called stupid their entire life
Tryna prove people wrong
Anxiety creeping in
As they struggle to write
Summaries and essays
Everything's side ways
Another homie's
Afraid of opening up to niggas
Because of fear that
People gon' leave and
No one will stay
Tryna take secrets to the grave
Let them in
It'll be okay
The tides are shifting
The winds of change are blowing up on your face
The sun is coming soon
You gon' be in a better place
Believe and let go
Change has to start within
That's the only way you gon' win

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
Be kind to yourself
It'll be alright
Take it slow and easy
One day at a time
The only real change comes from inside
(The only real change)
The only real change comes from inside
The only real change comes from inside

The only real change comes from inside
I've seen that in my own life
I picked up the pen and
Let the ink glide
Now I've got no reason to hide
I've left the past in the past
Put all my demons behind
Life changes up like tides
One minute your low and
Suddenly
You start to rise and then
You ride the wave
Your fear disintegrates
Your spirit elevates
Your perspective starts to change
Sometimes perfect timing
Feels a little bit too late
But I know you're still great
In spite of all your mistakes
Life's a marathon
You've gotta find a pace
You'll never proceed
If you move away from change and
I know you ain't working this hard
To be in the same place
All over again

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
Be kind to yourself
It'll be alright
Take it slow and easy
One day at a time
The only real change comes from inside
(The only real change)
The only real change comes from inside
The only real change comes from inside

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
(It takes patience and time
To see your life change)

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
(It takes patience and time
To see your life change)

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
(It takes patience and time
To see your life change)

It takes patience and time
To see your life change
(It takes patience and time
To see your life change)

Be kind to yourself
It'll be alright
