Open up your eyes so you can see
That if we all spread love in the community
We could make this world a better place for you and me
Maybe we should make a change, I think its time we make a change
[Verse 1]
Determined to keep running though my peers lack energy
Trynna leave my mark on the 21st century
History books are gon' acknowledge the name
f** the dollars and fame man thats not why I came
Want to obtain the title of a legend before my d**h
So Im working every second Im definitely over stressed
But Im blessed no need to rest homie Im on a quest
To express this sh** off my chest till Im out of breath
I feel fresh in the land of the unbathed
Where the gun sprays even on sundays
Having fun waits when you ain't got yo money straight
And them bills need to get paid undelay
Trynna contemplate why you always got a stomach ache
Thats the type of sh** I hate I just wanna run away
But I can't, do this for my n***as up in heaven
This life is a blessing by the time I turned eleven
I was already used to hard headed shooters
Pointing roogers at my dreams like freddy krueger
So I would be up with the rooster at the crack of dawn
Packing bongs studying about the walls of babylon
Telling people tag along but nobody would
I need to separate myself to stand out in the hood
[Bridge: Ev. B & Dashira]
Yeah
No time to waste now
Yeah
We gotta change now
[Hook: Dashira]
Open up your eyes so you can see
That if we all spread love in the community
We could make this world a better place for you and me
Maybe we should make a change, I think its time we make a change
Leave the past in the past and continue to live
Its easy to make a mistake but its hard to forgive
Dont be afraid to step into the unknown
You just gotta have faith and keep holding on
I think its time we make a change
[Verse 2]
Let me take this time out for a little ventilation
Honestly Im disappointed in our generation
In a age with smart phones, computers, and others
Instead of shooting for stars we still shoot at our brothers
Man Its crazy to me how you could be watching a movie
Then suddenly somebody walks in with a uzi
Or just think walking home with some skittles and a drink
Doing nothing wrong still get hit end up extinct
People been fighting since the biblical times
The only problem is technology just tripled the crime
For every step we take forward we take two back
We in a maze trapped I try to escape through rap
And state facts cause if the truth is told
The youth can grow change the way we view the globe
Dont lose your soul in the hopes of vanity
Pursue your goals but stay close to family
The worst choice to make is the wrong one
Everything affects us in the long run
So with that being stated watch who you hang with
Its never too late for you to start making changes
No more war throw up a peace sign
Put your seat on recline and press rewind
[Hook: Dashira]
Open up your eyes so you can see
