   I don't normally show the lyrics for a track on my project before I've recorded it, but I feel ya'll will enjoy seeing what's to come, and respect the message in it. #Time To ChangeThe hook has not been written or recorded because I'm not the one doing it. Ya'll will have to wait till the actual track drops to hear the full thing.

[Verse 1]

We always tend to hurt now and love later
Funny ain't it? No it isn't man I hate it, 
Hate how You can love somebody with the very life you're made of 
But you Say something in anger and destroy the dream your chasing man
Its Crazy how the sane ones are looked at as weird,
Just look at Me, because I've never fit in with my peers, 
I can't reciprocate their mindset, cuz at the end of the path they been
Walkin on they'll find death, I'm tryna live my life blessed 
And Very successful, tryna marry not settle, a woman
Caring and gentle, and many people could be living dreams but
People lose their confidence and bury potential,
Livin scared of the devil, then get very resentful, cuz they
Feel like they deserve to live better, don't we all tho?
Life ain't no mcdonalds but it hits you with that combo
Ups and downs, crash and burn, turn around, tax return
Rocket to the top then fall down like the apollo, oh God

[Verse 2]

Got identities that they be trying so bad to carry
Just to rep a color dudes'll change their vocabulary
Spending dough tryna stay fresh just fit a mold
Just to prove they hot rock a glock standin in the cold
You know I speak from a distance , cuz I ain't never been in it
I never lived it, I ain't did what they all did so I can't 
Tell you what it felt like and act as if I did it but I
Can tell you how my life turned out because I didn't coulda
Gone astray, I chose to stay instead and walk by faith
Walkin in shoes that didn't fit my feet would cramp each day
My toenail got deformed because of it 
So when I say walk a day in my shoes it ain't just a cliche
We say alot of things and compromise to fit in, young
Kids smokin and carryin tools to maintain an image going
Broke for some Jordans while barely making a livin infected
Inside the system their vision turnin malignant oh God

[Bridge]

I can't just stand here and do nothing
They selling us a lie as if demise ain't never coming
They talk behind our backs then smile back they steady frontin
Money's only a material but they teach us to love it 
Planting seeds for this evil, preparing for a harvest, 
Unaware that sign of pride worn on your chest makes you a target,
The sickness in their minds has grown with time becoming chronic,
Taking stands but really they've already fallen, 
There's a Problem and they don't know how to solve it, 
Look to God they need to Call him, 
I'ma pause and take moment just to stop and say a prayer for humanity...
