Change - August Alsina

Every day that I’m alive, I try to live it to the fullest

Keep my pistol and believe me I’ll pull it

If a nigga try to kill me, I know what I gotta do

Hope somebody feel me cause you know that I done seen a lot

Just a young nigga grinding on the block, tryna reach the top

Being broke would turn the bitches off, now they pussy pop

Tryna get the cash I got, I laugh out loud

Cause all these bitches ass got shots and they so proud

But I ain’t judging, if you thought I was, I wasn’t

Cause I know I’m a hit it once and I ain’t cuffing

Young, wild nigga so you, can’t tell me nothing

Cause I remember when a nigga ain’t have nothing

Now I came up, I got a lil something, tryna turn a lil bit to a lot

Like when lovers turning cocaine to pot

I would pull the soda straight out the box

Hoping when this shit drop it will rock, hoping when my shit drop it will rock

Cause ain’t shit changed even since my nigga 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 niggas how to make it through

Cause I had to get it out the muscle, I can never loose the hustle

Cause I represent the struggle

I’ll change

Just so you can see there’s a better way

So when we die we’ll make it to a better place

Cause it’s looking like this shit won’t 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

So many people outchea with nowhere to go

Mother’s losing their children for reasons nobody know

Places with no Sun’s so nothing can grow

And people in poverty wishing they could be more

Making 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 shit

Never took the time to notice

The person in the reflection is the real focus

If we could change with them and grow then I’ll notice

Historically ain’t nobody looking out for us, all they ever had was doubt for us

Cause ain’t shit changed even since my nigga 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
