Make A Change

Album: Nahko and Medicine for the People Durasi: 5:05

If I make it out alive, I will make a change

If I make it out alive, I will make a change

I need a change, it's evident, a transformation imminent

A chance for my soul's intelligence to redefine lines of indifference

I ride past the spirit with the well scratch pad,

always looking at my poetry for the reason's I had

And never stopped and let someone else take the wheel

Now I'm in the backseat like, "What the fuck is real?"

Bout to bury the hatchet, bones no casket,

the dead don't dance to a liars message

So restless cross it off my checklist,

poetic warfare, a bear with horse hair, He's reckless,

acts like he's got a deathwish

True hey Hoka, tricking the trickster

Loud to nature, loyal creature

Son of the most high, willing to wager my plan and I'm a stick to it

I'm a ultimately liberate my consciousness

I want the change

I will make a change

If I make it out alive, come out on the other side

It's the sacrifice I owe, it's the reason that I die

And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past

And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here

I'll make a change, I will make a change

It'll come to the cost, well that's obvious

My list of distractions is infinite

My delusions of grandeur are all equipped

with dark lords, backdoors, and some wizard shit

Well I did not know they were gonna choose me

And I oughta take myself more seriously

Cuz what comes through me no it ain't no trick

And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so

Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back

On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks

I didn't come here to drone out and drag my feet

Stand in quicksand both hands I accept defeat

I got work to do, let me get back at it

The clock is tickin', I can hear it through the static

Now I'm not being dramatic, enemies don't sleep

In fact some aren't human and that's hard to believe

Cuz I'm such a visual person, my third eye don't lie

He's a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice

thinking maybe I'm not ready to be leading the way

I mean fuck, I'm only human, bound to make some mistakes

An earthquake took place in my lifetime of fear,

I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near

I want the change

I will make a change...

If I make it out alive, come out on the other side

It's the sacrifice I owe, it's the reason that I die

And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past

And of all the things I fear, it isn't now and it isn't here

I'll make a change, I will make a change

I wanna walk in righteousness,

but I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness

I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist

I keep beating round the bushes til they're facing it

So I'm facing it, some gladiator shit

Yea I'm rippin over rhythm, and I'm healin it

But it's non-stop knocks in the mountain top,

to the city block, to the tanks stop and block

Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk,

while the cops doing inside jobs and im shocked

So my hands are stretched out to the sky

Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right

And my eyes'll cry over bulletproof pride

Cuz I know I didn't come to make it out alive

And I thrive in the midst of a battle,

front lines you can see me in the struggle

These are the songs of a walk towards revival

Even brave men can put down their rifles

I got my orders and I'm a follow them

You can find me kickin back inside the lion's den

I'm making friends and amends with some evil men

Gonna bring them in and check them with the medicine

I'm a do no harm, but I'm a take no shit

And I'm a build a bridge out of the emptiness

And then potentially well I'm a live to be

the hardest working bear in the fucking industry

I will make a change

I will make a change

I will make a change
