Winds of Change

[Verse 1: A-live] I thought I had it figured out Until I almost died and had to take a different route At 25, I thought I’d be a million out Got to wait a year to show you what I’m screaming about Feeling winds of change, moving through my limbs and frame Since I hit this dream, nothing’s ever been the same Rather to be important, a Jackson or a Jordan Barely passing through my college Only passion was for dollars But this life is like a trap, dog Before I knew it, I was wrapped up Smashing models overseas but I was wrapped up Came back home and my pops ain't got no job, f*ck What? And my mans just got cancer You can’t be serious, who the hell dealt me this hand, bruh? I’m at the edge and I can’t even take no more I don’t even pray no more, ‘cause God don’t even take my calls The sweat and tears, I shake them off But the blood has stained my walls My heart don’t break no more from all that shit you said before Nah, hold up Ren, don’t even press record… I went from being super fly, to entertaining suicide This music shit is do or die, still I’m moved to chose it, why? I never thought at 25, that I would be still alive They said it was the end for me, so this gotta be destiny [Chorus] I never thought at 25, that I would be still alive They sais it was the end for me, so this gotta be destiny [Verse 2: Soupa] Obsolete optimism Pissing in pots is not tradition when your guap is missing Drifting through the system lost The Villen nigga mixing in a twist of Mr. Frost Depicting children doing sinners jobs Pause I poor some liquor for the innocent victims of struggle Shit, you got to hustle cause the ignorant think they above you Dying for a buck, why the fuss about who's ride is tough? Why do I suck, because I wisened up? Recognized the prize hides far beyond our eyes Cause it's high above Spread lies or ride for love, either way come ride with us Exercise a pirate's luck, love is a but a myth Take another sip, sitting on my steps talking to a chick Emphasizing strengths, how I came up off the bench Then I hopped over the fence and now I'm here with no intent No direction at an intersection, sectioned off my mind to different weapons Feeling breathless just to finish second Still missing lessons from my school days Mostly absent from the cool phase I'd rather face the truth than be a two face Who says this is real life? Cause I don't really buy that Time is money, but time is something you can't buy back
