Zella Day – Make A Change lyrics

If I make it out alive, I will make a change

I need a change, it’s evident, a transformation imminent
A chance for my soul’s intelligence to redefine lines of indifference
I ride past the spirit with the well scratch pad
Always looking at my poetry for the reason’s I had
And never stopped and let someone else take the wheel
Now I’m in the backseat like what the fuck is real
Bout to bury the hatchet, bones no casket,
The dead don’t dance to a liars message
So restless cross it off my checklist, poetic warfare
A bear with horse hair
He’s reckless, acts like he’s got a deathwish
True hey yo cuz, tricking the trickster
Loud to nature, loyal creature
Son of the most high
Willing to wager my plan and I’m a stick to it
I’m a ultimately liberate my consciousness
I want the change

If I make it out alive, I’ll see you on the other side
It’s the sacrifice I owe, it’s the reason that I die
And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past
And of all the things I fear
It isn’t now and it isn’t here
I’ll make a change, I will make a change
I will make a change
I will make a change

It’ll come to the cost, well that’s obvious
My list of distractions is infinite
My delusions of grandeur
Are all equipped with dark lords
Backdoors, and some wizard shit
Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
And I oughta take myself more seriously
'Cause what comes through me no it ain’t no trick
And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so
Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back
On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks
I didn’t come here to drone out and drag my feet
Stand in quicksand both hands I accept defeat
I got work to do, let me get back at it
The clock is tickin’, I can hear it through the static
Now I’m not being dramatic, enemies don’t sleep
In fact some aren’t human and that’s hard to believe
'Cause I’m such a visual person, my third eye don’t lie
He’s a wise guy inside
Even fooled himself twice thinking maybe I’m not ready to be leading the way
I mean fuck, I’m only human
Bound to make some mistakes
An earthquake took place in my lifetime of fear
I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near

I want the change
I will make a change

I wanna walk in righteousness
But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness
I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist
I keep beating round the bushes til they’re facing it
So I’m facing it, some gladiator shit
Yea I’m rippin over rhythm, and I’m healin it
But it’s non-stop knocks in the mountain top
To the city block, to the? Block
Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk
While the cops doing inside jobs in the chi
So my hands are stretched out to the sky
Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right
And my eyes’ll cry over bulletproof pride
'Cause I know I didn’t come to make it out alive
And I thrive in the midst of a battle
Front lines you can see me in the struggle
These are the songs of a watchhorse revival
Even brave men can put down their rifles
I got my orders and I’m a follow them
You can find me kickin back inside the lion’s den
I’m making friends and amends with some evil men
Gonna bring them in and check them with the medicine
I’m a do no harm, but I’m a take no shit
I’m a do no harm, but I’m a take no shit
I’m a do no harm, but I’m a take no shit
I’m a do no harm, but I’m a take no shit
And I’m a build a bridge out of the emptiness
And then potentially well I’m a live to be
The hardest working bear in the fucking industry

I will make a change
If I make it out alive, I’ll see you on the other side
It’s the sacrifice I owe, it’s the reason that I die
And I know that this will pass, so I put it in the past
And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here
I’ll make a change, I will make a change
I will make a change
I will make a change
