The Change

Thought I understood a couple things
Then change intervened
Now it ain't what it seemed
Ain't what it seemed

Thought I understood a couple things
Then change intervened
Now it ain't what it seemed
Nah nah

Dealing with a pain in your veins
You can blame everything
Or reframe what you've seen
Yah yah

Power of His name
I refuse to let shame hit the scene
If it do let it bang
Nah nah

If change won't change
Then I can't be the same
If change won't change
Then I can't be the same

Can't be the same little man
That was thinking that the world's so grand
I was wasting my time
Now I'm hip to the plan
Pain to the faith's like flame to the pan
How you think I'm cookin wit this pen in my hand
Seen a couple homies come alive in their dreams
Then they die to themselves and wake up to be men
When one thing ends then another can begin
But until I grew older I couldn't understand
Nah
Seen a lifetime on demand
Yah
Sized myself by the Gram
Nah
Pushed away friends and the fam
Tryna fight for a feeling that just wouldn't land
This for the souls who convinced themselves
That their life is a sham if their goals don't span
If you let it all go will you get it in the end

Thought I understood a couple things
Then change intervened
Now it ain't what it seemed
Nah nah

Dealing with a pain in your veins
You can blame everything
Or reframe what you've seen
Yah yah

Power of His name
I refuse to let shame hit the scene
If it do let it bang
Nah nah

If change won't change
Then I can't be the same
If change won't change
Then I can't be the same

I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
I can't be the same
We can't be the same
We can't be the same
We can't be the same
We can't be the same

Can't be the same you
What happened to switchin' the angle
Brush dipped in fear always paints true
The old you would turn from what's brand new
Can't be the same you
What happened to switchin' the angle
Brush dipped in fear always paints true
The old you would turn from what's brand new

Yeah but what about all the moments
I heard I could have it all
Like you can be taking off
Aim for the moon and star
Is what you'll slowly become
I been running from the applause
Afraid to be getting lost
Afraid to be blocking Cross
Afraid to find imma fail in the making
Breaking the chains to replace it with something
Tempted by Satan throughout it all
I seen way too many fall
Whether they're big or small
They remind me Trust the Lord

Cuz all in all
Who can you trust in a war
I try running alone and end up hitting the wall
Too bankrupt in the soul to ever reach for a loan
The anger stuck in my bones is fear of losing control
Therapy helps me figure out what I gotta dethrone
Prayer be helping letting it go I stay in that zone
Isaiah be making music to leave behind like a stone
THE CHANGE is like a river how it flows you know

The change is like a river how it flows you know
The change is like a river how it flows
