Change

I'm sick of seeing my people stuck in poverty
When I get some bread, ima buy a bunch of property
Fix it up, own the block and use my power properly
But rebuilding a broken home is the priority

The majority will never be taped in
They following authority it's keeping them boxed in
I feel a change coming, freedom over security
Improving maturity, expanding communities

Now ion wanna get too preachy
But certain things in the hood ain't been that peachy
My brothers dying over nothing
Instead of living for something
Because they feel like nobody will ever trust them
They find a group of people, that treat them like an equal
Make them feel accepted while keeping things peaceful
Knowing at any moment it can turn lethal
So keep ya piece full
You might give someone an early funeral

And the cycle continues over and over
Another weekend of hearses and cheap loafers
All because you wanna be a solider
Just remember karma comes around and bites you in the ass when you older

I know my approach is a little harsh
But it's the only way I get my point across
We tryna get to that upper Echelon
This ain't a sprint, this a fucking marathon
So

To anyone that's going down the wrong path
Don't forgot you have a choice and let the past be the past
Even though it gets tough, I believe you can make a way
But if you stay, it's either jail or the grave
