Change
Embracing Change: A Journey Through Life's Challenges
Lyrics
They say change gone come
Expressing anticipation for change
But its a long time comin'
Change is taking a considerable amount of time
My legs tired
Metaphor for exhaustion or weariness
Hundred million miles runnin'
Symbolic distance traveled, enduring hardships
On life's treadmill
Symbolizing stagnation, lack of progress
Runnin' in place
Striving but not moving forward
But still I run wit the race
Persisting despite challenges
I think back on my wonder years
Reflecting on childhood years
Food stamps shorts of wonder bread
Scarcity and financial struggle
My mom dukes
Referring to mother
Young, wild, loose learned a less
Learning from past mistakes
I got my truths from the older heads
Learning from older, wiser individuals
U went 2 church n took a different route
Diverging from traditional paths
U got ya truths from out the bishop mouth
Receiving guidance from religious figures
I drunk the juice that turn dish about
Adopting unconventional beliefs
Them double deuces turned my system out
Drug use altering perceptions
And them zanies and the weed too
Surviving despite substance abuse
Fuck it I'm still here
Surviving despite hardships
Though its hard in the ghetto
Challenges faced in impoverished areas
Don't you let go
Encouragement to persevere despite difficulties
Cause a change gone come
Assurance of forthcoming change
Said a change gone come
Reiteration of anticipated change
I know your tired of the waitin'
Implying impatience due to the long wait for change
Hold ya patients
Advising to maintain composure and endurance
Cause a change gone come
Reiteration of the impending change
Yeah I know it is
Confidence in the certainty of change
What it like
Asking about the experience of wealth and success
The big houses
Depicting a seemingly perfect life with hidden stress and fear
The cars
-The dog
-Pickett fence
-And you his wife
-But depict this life
Fear of legal repercussions despite material wealth
You know them FEDS
-Got them pictures right
-I know ya stressed baby girl
Empathy towards someone experiencing stress
Feel what you going through
Understanding and acknowledging someone's struggles
Cause if they kick in that door
Shared risk and consequence in a difficult situation
You know you going too
-Cause every thing in ya name
Legal entrapment and the struggle to escape
From the phone bill
-To the deed on the house
-I gotta find a way to ease out
-But you cant you feel trapped
Feeling trapped and reflecting on past choices
You think back
-Was it really worth it
Questioning the value of previous life choices
This lifestyle could you really afford it
Realization of the unaffordable consequences of a lavish lifestyle
You then lost 4 lives
Regret and remorse over past actions and their consequences
Yours and the 3 you aborted
-But its so
