(feat. Phonte, Dice Raw)




Everything's changing around me 

and I want to change too 

It's one thing I know 

It ain't cool being no fool 

I feel different today 

I don't know what else to say 

But Imma get my shit together 

It's now or never 



[Black Thought] 

I'm sick, sick of waiting in vain, tired of playing the game 

Thinking of making a change, finally breaking the chains 

Every phase, every happening ?craze? 

When it's said and done, my head is right back in a haze 

I'm ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age 

and part ways with Black Thought from back in the days 

I'm stargazing from the back of the stage 

Crushing in the ??york craze it's worthy of praise 

Was the phrase "bygones is bygones" 

Niggas who used to be the underdogs is icons 

People say the light shines once in a lifetime 

Is this meant like ?? or price just a little bit like mine 

I'm thinking not now, but right now 

I need some kinda sign that the future is bright now 

I fuck around, do the right thing like Spike now 

The quick in the day, which one is my lookalike now 

I'm moving and hey 



[Phonte] 

Yo, opportunities lost because I blew them 

On the sunniest days of my life I cry through them 

Mom's out the picture and Pops, I barely knew him 

And I would pray to God but I'm tired of lying to him 

Tired of trying to run from the things inside of us 

Got a lot of fam, and a lot of admirers 

Who tell me that I should aspire to be changed 

But when I think of changing, it's like why do you try this shit 

My mind hazy and my thoughts, they get distorted 

I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded 

You do right so your soul can last 

But my role is cast before I even audition for it 

So I don't really see an end to my vice 

It's just false reformation, no end of my strife 

Feel the evil overpowering, you can go ahead throw the towel in 

'Cause nigga, that's the end of the fight 

When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the light 

Like South party, oh that's the end of your life 

and a mountain 



[Dice Raw] 

When I look into the mirror, and see my own image 

I feel like there's something else far in the distance 

Something I wanna see, but something that's resistant 

And everyday the heartin' is growing more persistent 

I never noticed it before, but now I can't miss it 

And the constant pounding is driving me ballistic 

I ran from it few years, but it's still next to me 

And it's growing stronger, taking even less of me 

I can't fight it now, I know it's just destiny 

And I just wonder what's gonna happen when it catches me 

Will it leave me face down, and a ?? 

Or will it just start bringing out the best in me 

But is the best in me really just the worst in me 

And if so, yesterday could be my anniversary 

And sinners court, is it important to have church with me 

I'm trying to get rid of these ghosts that's cursing me 

I feeling change is an absolute certainty 

'Cause what's coming on is a state of emergency
