Change Up - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

They thought I was gone, back from the grave

Mind of a master, blood of a slave

Heart of a king, stuck in between

The devil and an angel on my shoulder when I speak

Lost in the streets, found on the beat

Still kept a clip, asked, and got it for cheap

Now I'm in the world where they pray for the weak

Stand-up niggas take shots to the knees

Lord, have mercy, pray for me

Need to calm down, so pass me the weed

Got me stressed out, situations look bleak

Time's runnin' out, how'd my days turn to weeks?

Up all night, toss and turn when I sleep

Pacing around, drowning sorrows in my drink

Can't even think, got my mind wrapped up

But I still bite down, clench my teeth, knuckle up

I'ma keep goin', you cannot blame us

Never look back, I would never change up

I'ma keep goin', you cannot blame us

Never look back, I would never change up

Never look back, I would never

Every other day, always some shit

I'm the underdog but I'm never over it

Gotta keep a grip when the rent due

Niggas tryna get you for every last cent

Ain't no pretend, ain't tryna make amends

Just tryna keep my legacy, I'm legend in the end

So never try the scene, 'cause you could get bent

'Cause I protect mine from beginning to the end

Lord, have mercy, pray for me

Distanced from my friends, enemies close to me

Gotta stay at work, things change in a blink

Gotta stay woke, they all in a deep sleep

Up all night, toss and turn when I sleep

Pacing around, drowning sorrows in my drink

Can't even think, got my mind wrapped up

But I still bite down, clench my teeth, knuckle up
