change - tunnel rats lyrics

[verse 1: zane one]
the chain continues for centuries long
severs from a crippling disease of the mind
linked together in a soul low redemption song
just to relieve ourselves of the bind
word from fuzz said natural instincts got i doing wrong
the less free i am, the more intertwined
hip to psalm 21, matthew, hosea and john
these anch-r-d lines twisting me back up into the vine
leading me back on my journey to naturalize on
while coils of bitter sweet wrapped around my throat to imbibe
family ties choke out values, regrets of where they went wrong
divided on my own holdin’ on redirecting to god
settlin’ on an iron strong sense of where i belong
snapped the line cutting curses from the roots inside
said i’m changing for my sister, changing for my aunts
breaking the chains for my daughters, i’m changing for my moms

[hook: zane one]
(change)
said my people need to, i said my sisters need to
i said my brothers tell me why the police just can’t change
music needs to, said now hip-hop needs to
said the church needs to change
‘posters need to, i need to
i said my crew needs to, i said my family needs to
politicians need to change

[verse 2: zane one]
to all my poets and freaks, peace
i’m here to honor the beats see in the 40s
literary kingniks mixed imaginary jazz to modern prose
their philosophies impose changeability
dharma burns evolved to hippies
latter 60s, big bro and rock ‘n’ roll
from one man’s perception the voice that caused a reaction
in people who fought for it to happen when change was unacceptable
now suppose you could modify the changeless
rearrange for lack of sameness
exchange to receive greatness or deeper soul
angelou and kerouac extract the abstract in language
better the mad and the strangest, pure and spontaneous
confessional impressions of personal pain
didn’t use conventional english sentences to explain
holy slang, no thought to pause, merge text to sound improvise
ad-lib young poets change over your false methods and lies
some say the prose of the past is the hip-hop of today
agreed in freestyle but in content and mentality
sucker rhymers need to change

[hook: zane one]
(change)
teachers need to, students need to
rock ‘n’ roll has to change
people need to change, lives needs to
i said now music needs, radio needs to change
gangstas need to change, la needs to
i said new york needs to, i said this country needs to change

[bridge: zane one]
changing for my brother, i’m changing for my son
breaking the chains for my father cause we must succ-mb to change
said we could all achieve this
death ain’t no problem if we all united, change
it can be violent, it can be pain
it’s change, it’s all the same
notice that time will waste if you complain
embrace the change
ain’t no runnin’ from and ain’t no escape
just watch the sun rise, the moon shines soon
your momma, father, inner vision it needs to proceed
no further church or prestige in the waves of change

[outro: macho & raphi]
(change)
my people need to, ayo this city needs to
i can’t understand or figure out why people don’t
ayo my family needs to, i say this country needs to
these weak songs they be playing on the radio should
and yo the system need to, these wack styles gotta
these fake pounds and fake smiles people giving me should
(change)
your att-tude needs to, your work ethic needs to
the things you want need to, the way you thought needs to
the way you treat people like they less than equal needs to
change
