Lyrics:
Lesser calls to something crazy, I find it hard to stay but I’m still brave – calling on the waves / Changing to another motion, your heart knows my devotion, I’m afraid – somehow it’s still the same
even though it’s changed the principle’s the same
the philosophy always remains
busting past and we breaking the chains
must adapt in the face of the pains
adjustments have to be made for the gains
cut some slack for the failures and lames
they held back by inaccurate claims
thinking the facts are staying the same
refuse to adapt when they constantly change
and at one point in this life that was me
refusing to hear and refusing to see
acting like we back in 93
it’s that cute, isn’t that sweet
but the world is moving and if you don’t then what’s the diff between you and the deceased
nothing wrong with that all of us eventually we be gone somewhere and resting in peace
but if you living and driven and willing lift yourself ascending out of the grief
then you’ll see that the changes thats coming are just another chance for you to succeed
then you will see that failure to change is really just another word for defeat
thinking you strong for staying the same, when really you wrong, and really you weak
everythign changes, even this beat
keep low to ground, to stay on your feat
nothing is done, nothings complete
you get to the end, it’s time to repeat
the winger won’t track, it’s time to adapt
you can fall back, long ball attack
they said I was wack, outdated raps
i pulled out my mac, it’s time to adapt
we back on the track, i’m slapping the track
the average will chat, while i stack and I stack
there’s greater reward to making this music than only the fame and platinum plaques
when i knew that, i had to adapt
when i knew that I had to adapt
improvisation has entered the chat
where have you been? I’m happy you’re back
i’m happy to graft a habit I had
in days that i’ve past, i’m grabbing it back
a matter of fact i’m making a pact
the way that i’ll act, in this way exact
if something changes for the better of the worse your only response is you have to adapt
when something changes then get to it first, embrace the progression the chance to advance
all change is not progression
get trained to spot regression
two choices cop the pension
or adapt as I mentioned
readjust , it’s a must
or turn to mush, it’s obvious
I can make a fuss
and cry to musk
eitherway, dust to dust
here I am, decades in
from a prince to a king
many aspects factored in
but one thing, but one thing
never afraid to look at the past and simply accept what’s bin has just bin
now it’s time to evolved life doesn’t revolve around me so now
time to begin
it’s time to begin
Lesser calls to something crazy, I find it hard to stay but I’m still brave – calling on the waves / Changing to another motion, your heart knows my devotion, I’m afraid – somehow it’s still the same
all of the changes , embracing them letting them in
its time to begin
all of the changes embracing them thats how you win
