Change
Embracing Change: Nick Flash's Reflection on Life's Twists
Lyrics
I guess it never feels the same its always bound to change
Change is a constant, and it never feels the same.
Like these motherfuckers swerving cuz they changing up they lane
People are changing their paths, swerving, and it's noticeable.
But me I'm driving perfect GT2 slide in the rain
The singer remains true to their path, even in challenging conditions.
Shit that's only in my dreams but I guess its all the same
The perfect scenario is only in dreams, but it's accepted as part of life.
Cuz these dreams become reality through hard work and the pain
Dreams become reality through hard work and pain.
The way these motherfuckers switching up drive me insane
Frustration with people changing, driving the singer insane.
It was us against the world now its fucking up my brain
Former unity against the world is now causing mental distress.
Cuz I'm out here by myself and I don't know what to say
The singer feels isolated and doesn't know what to say.
They talking bout these guns and drugs but I cannot relate
The disconnect with discussions about guns and drugs.
I might pop a pill or two but trust me that is not my fate
The singer may use pills but rejects them as a fate.
And no I'm not a gangster but I know about the game
Not a gangster, but familiar with the game.
Got some homies pushing plates but that's a different kind of weight
Acknowledgment of friends involved in a different kind of weight (responsibility).
And lately, when I see you shit I don't know what to think
Confusion and uncertainty when encountering someone.
Like every time I turn around you're fucked up off the drank
Observation of someone consistently intoxicated.
And how come when I pull up I find cocaine on the sink
Discovery of drugs, raising concern for the person.
Shit I'm not the one to judge but I can't just let you sink
Not judging but unwilling to let the person deteriorate.
I call you nicotine cuz without you cannot breathe
Using "nicotine" as a metaphor for someone crucial to their life.
I'm just asking that you stay and don't leave me, baby, please
Pleading for that crucial person to stay and not leave.
Cuz I've lost too many homies to the chase of highs and greed
Lost friends to the pursuit of highs and greed.
Now I'm praying they don't get lost caught up in the street
Hoping others avoid a similar fate in the streets.
But me I'm ten toes down standing on my feet
The singer remains resilient, standing firm.
It's gonna take a whole army for you to defeat
Confidence that overcoming challenges requires a united effort.
Young Nick Flash coming stays strapped up with that heat
The singer is armed and prepared for challenges.
I'm not talking bout some shit that shoots just vocals on a beat
Emphasizing the power of vocals and words, not violence.
I infect my mind with beats just in hopes of some release
Using music to find release, but struggling to find peace.
But I can find no peace, no matter where I seek
Despite seeking peace, the singer can't find it anywhere.
That's why I'm choking on this weed like every other week
Expressing frustration and using weed as a coping mechanism.
Or like every other day shit I cannot even think
Frequent struggles with mental clarity and thoughts.
This shit just got me thinking back I like to reminisce
Reflecting on the past and nostalgia.
Nothing ever stays the same its always bound to switch
Highlighting the inevitability of change.
I remember we were kids all we did was dream big
Recalling a time when dreams were abundant.
Now I'm praying every day you don't end up in a ditch
Fearing for someone's safety and well-being.
Shit that's tough to say and it's not something I wish
Acknowledging the difficulty in expressing concern.
But I think you lost your way and I'm hoping you could fix
Hoping the person can find their way back.
Whatever's wrong inside cuz I know I tried my best
The singer has tried their best but hasn't succeeded in helping.
But I never seem to get through and it cannot end like this
Rejecting the idea of a negative outcome.
I guess it never feels the same its always bound to change
Reiteration of the theme that change is inevitable.
Like these motherfuckers swerving cuz they changing up they lane
Noting others changing paths, similar to the earlier lines.
But me I'm driving perfect GT2 slide in the rain
The singer maintains a perfect drive despite challenges.
Shit that's only in my dreams but I guess its all the same
Repeating the idea that dreams and reality are interconnected.
Cuz these dreams become reality through hard work and the pain
Success is achieved through hard work and enduring pain.
The way these motherfuckers switching up drive me insane
Expressing frustration with people changing, driving the singer insane.
It was us against the world now its fucking up my brain
Reiteration of the theme of lost unity and its impact on the mind.
Cuz I'm out here by myself and I don't know what to say
Feeling alone and struggling to find words.
