Changes - Torae

They say change is good, I say dollars is better

So I acknowledge the empowerment piling this cheddar

See as a father, my persona’s to try to do better

All my youngings is never bailing no matter whatever

(Changes we go through) shape the person you are

So made you a square made me to a star

And while I fight the higher height, you continue to spar

Steady swinging your arms, how you gon' box with the God?

(Changes we go though) never breaking me though

If anything, give me the means to continue to go

And for the record, I’ve accessed that I am destined to grow

Never question the glow, Bruce Leeroy of the flow

(Changes we go though) rarely leave us the same

Got to figure you’ll never win if you ain’t in the game

But no jokes though, ‘cause even in my shorty’s stage

Told him break a dollar for my quarter, I was making change

Changes we’re going through, phases we’re going through

And still we just keep on climbing

Whatever you’re going through, your triumph is overdue

In darkness, you keep on shining

Changes we’re going though, places we’re going to

It’s yours if you keep on grinding

So we’re striving, and we’re riding

Until the change, we gon' put that time in

one-track mind, I see you’ll never change

She still riding ‘round with these niggas trying to get her thing

If figures should have cents the way she giving brains

‘Til they give her what she can’t get rid of, she ain’t make the change

Niggas change up their kicks

A couple times a day but won’t do a thing for their kids

You taking trips to South Beach and gaming these chicks

To go raw and never sure who gave him the hiv

Got to the change

In this economy, but still seeing ride in the Range

If you could read between the lines, then you’re right on my page

As I write on the page, steadily scribing for change

(Changes we go though) never breaking my stride

Long as my will is real, then I’m gon' continue to ride

Shattered relationships, but damn if it damage my pride

Pain in the passenger side, cherish it, tell it goodbye
