Riinya - Changes

Yo, I'm gonna do something a little different
I'm gonna slow things down and talk about life

I write these songs so y'all can feel my pain and passion
I'll set fire to this mic without any butane and magic
I'm stressed out thinking bout life lord knows I need a distraction
I'll paint what I imagine use your brain as you are the captain
It's time steer the ship in another direction
I can't stand going through another rejection
I thought this was so real but it's surreal it's just a projection
I'm lucid dreaming in my dreams I'm in control inception
But I don't know anymore I'm just thinking out loud
I want to make an impact on the world and make my momma proud
I look up and down at the ground and at the clouds
Sometimes I am speechless and the silence is so profound

These times are so hard
I let down my guard
And now I'm left scarred
I just want to make it
I want my songs to be contagious
I'm just turning new pages
I'm just going through changes

Seeing these young rappers who made it makes me jealous
That's why I think I'm so naive and maybe overzealous
It's probably too late to be one of a kind just like Elvis
That won't stop me from working hard and having a story like Cinderella's
But if the shoe fits then you need to wear it
You don't need to use spells or elixirs you're not the Blair Witch
Let the fire burn until it's out or until the flare quits
Why you acting so hard as if you ain't scared of shit
Like what the fuck you gonna do when you wake up and realize you have nothin left
You want to make a difference
You want to tell people your story but they just don't understand or get it because to them
You're just speaking gibberish

These times are so hard
I let down my guard
And now I'm left scarred
I just want to make it
I want my songs to be contagious
I'm just turning new pages
I'm just going through changes

"Why write all these songs if not for sympathy?"
I want everyone to know my pain while keeping my dignity
Most people do things just to keep their perfect imagery
But I'm out here all alone to show you I do it differently
I feel like I used to be mistreated and used
My emotions were always beaten and bruised
It makes me wonder if Jesus was amused
To make me feel defeated but I refused
To give up and I'm gonna try my fucking hardest
To be on the come up and be an aspiring artist
Just like Kanye I wonder how could you be so heartless
I've been through so much shit I must be tough like a Spartan

These times are so hard
I let down my guard
And now I'm left scarred
I just want to make it
I want my songs to be contagious
I'm just turning new pages
I'm just going through changes
