Change (iHope)

(Yo honestly, I really don't have anything clever to say to start this song off)

This for my **** who just don't have a way to cope

(I just want to hit record and do this shit know what I'm sayin)

Change is on the way

Change is on the way

I hope

(I hope, I hope, I hope)

I pray the government stops droppin the ball like Tom droppin the soap

(I hope, I hope, I hope)

Yo

Check it

All jokes aside my people is who I ride for

Cried for

Sometimes I wish I could have died for

Survivin' more or less

Still tryna block the stress

Of bein' black in America this shit a mess

I understand that it's part of the plan

But if there's a time for everything, it's time to remind Uncle Sam

This ain't the 60s

That was the calm before the storm and

When it starts rainin'

Everybody's gonna be swarmin'

This is a warnin'

(Ha)

My generation seen a lot from crooked cops pullin' up on the block

Firin' shots on the innocent

On trial lookin ignorant

Smirk on they faces lookin menacin'

I'm thinkin'

Is there ever gonna be a fair sentencin'

(Is there really)

I hope so, 'cause this shit really trips me out I mean

Look at the Dylan Roof situation

What was that about

He shot nine people who were prayin' for him without a doubt

Demons walkin' round wearin' masks before Covid

Man fuck them officers

They know what they did

Before Breonna Taylor died

I was scared to do a bid

Then I thought about my sister

And I'd kill for that kid for real

(That's on my momma)

One side of me is sayin

Man go grip that steel and make these coward crackas blood spill

But the other side is sayin

Man just let the people know how you feel

Man I just wanna keep it real

Yo the thing about it is, I'm not the only one who feels this way

(How you feelin')

I'm not the only one who feels lost

Confused

Like there ain't enough hours in the day

(Who you tellin')

Like ANYTHING you try

Ends up in failure

Don't let that derail ya

Keep Ya Head Up

In a way, this is like me leavin' a piece of me here in case

I'm here today and gone tomorrow

(Man, I just wanna keep it real)

And if I am

(If I am)

You should feel no Sorrow

'Cause God's voice is what I followed

Leslie's fightin' spirit is what I borrowed

Looked in the mirror and saw the eyes of a King

The only thing I'm missin'

Is a Finals Ring

Ima just let it ride out right here

I ain't got nothin else to say

For now at least

Until the next time

God willin'

Aye

It's been a long time comin'

I really felt the need to do somethin' right
