[Verse 1]
Every day that I'm alive, I try to life it to the fullest
Keep my pistol and believe me I'll pull it
If a n***a tryna k** me, I know what I gotta do
Hope somebody feel me cause you know that I done seen a lot
Just a young n***a grinding for the block, tryna reach the top
Being broke would turn the b**hes off, now they p**y pop
Tryna get the cash I got, I laugh out loud
Cause all these b**hes a** got shots and they so proud
But I ain't judging, if you thought I was, I wasn't
Cause I don't wanna hit it once and I ain't cuffing
Young, wild n***as so you can't tell me nothing
Cause I remember when a n***a ain't had nothing
Now I came up, I got a lil something, tryna turn a lil bit to a lot
Like when lovers turning c**aine to pot
I went through the soda straight out the box
Hoping when this sh** drop it will rock, hoping when my sh** drop it will rock
[Chorus]
Cause ain't sh** changed even since my n***a Pac got banged
Some of the players switched up
But it's the same old game
I see no change, so I guess I gotta be that change
I'm just outchea doing what I gotta do
Showing young n***as how to make it through
Cause I had to get it out the muscle, I can never lose the hustle
Cause I represent the struggle
A change
Guess now you can see there's a better way
So when we die, we'll make it to a better place
Guess it's looking like this sh** will change
I'm hoping I can be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
Make the whole world change
We could be that change
We could be that change
We could be that change
[Verse 2]
So many people outchea with nowhere to go
Mother's loosing their children for reasons nobody know
Places with no suns and nothing can grow
And people in poverty wishing they could be more
Thinking brand new kicks can make you rich
Rather be in brand new whips than pay our rent
Single momma's got 4 kids, the income's fixed
Baby daddy's out on bond and still ain't sh**
Never took the time to notice
The person in the reflection is the real focus
If we could change with them then I'll notice
Historically ain't nobody looking out for us, all they ever had was doubt for us
[Chorus]
Cause ain't sh** changed even since my n***a Pac got banged
Some of the players switched up
And it's the same old game
I see no change, so I guess I gotta be that change
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm guilty of day dreaming that I can change the world
(laughs)
You can laugh all you want
But you can't blame a man for dreaming
And I've seen so many people life go downhill because they...
Gave up
They stopped believing
They just stopped dreaming
