Verse 1 (DAX):

Things changed... stale, so gotta shift

...old and new: a rift

Things changed... no ones speaking for me

...just my music only

Mama told me don’t forget that

My life’s only God’s, man, I’ll

Dodge, what I want? Boss

Or from God feel lost, gosh

Left friends hurt, get gauze

Dropped him quick, no NOS

8th grade, stopped being his friend ‘cause he was gay

Two years later, called him to tell him that ain’t okay

Had to pause, learn the lesson, same named

Uncle that I only met on death bed, way life

Goes, I don’t know my preference, you get

Validation from dudes not relevant, kept y’all

Guessing ‘bout the message with no stressing

Blessed, shift’s present, and I’m confessing

Hook (DAX):

...I got the

Shift... hitting the

Switch... zero

Assist... for better or

Worse... this is

Legit... legend, the

Myth... things have been

Diff... been on my shit

//// I got the shift, holding the shift ////

Verse 2 (DAX):

Things changed - got up outta the house and went to war, now an

AUX cord lord, your music just plays in morgues

Man, what do y'all rhyme for? My price soared for features, go

Psych ward, this bounty hunting been what I'm "Prime 4"

Things changed - yes, I've been equipped with a conscious, but I

Remain on that nonsense, these Wily's don't want this

DJ DAX mechanical, (in) the hood, get it popping

Any artist will pop in, start with the jocking - things

Changed - my childhood friends went out to play and

None of us realized that would be the last day, 'cause we

Grew up, I guess, I truly attest, I'm moved in my

Chest, Ronny's suicide, ain't knew 'bout his death, 'cause things

Changed - born where feens were "Rolling Cutter," now I

Go through what I got until I'm glowing color

Between what I was and I am, there is a rift, it's

Double O 1, it is what it is, call it the shift, on God

Hook (DAX):

...I got the

Shift... hitting the

Switch... zero

Assist... for better or

Worse... this is

Legit... legend, the

Myth... things have been

Diff... been on my shit

//// I got the shift, holding the shift ////

Verse 3 (MegaRan):

Finally patched the problems with my dad up

Told me life is too short to be sad, bruh, if it wasn’t for

Bad luck I probably wouldn't have luck, speeding like

Initial D up in these streets; eventually I backed up

Put it in reverse, can’t afford a therapist I put it in a verse

Kill 'em with kindness I rather, put 'em in a hearse

Could've been worse, I had one foot up in the dirt

'cause I been puttin' in this work every

Year, now everybody tell me this the year

And every year another best friend disappears

I been a monster at every single concert

No sponsors, every day, a new convert

Made a promise to make that grip

Passport in hand, I'mma take that trip

Top 5: Mega gotta make that list

If not, somebody gotta make that shift

Outro:

I followed Mac ‘cause he really knew the way

I’m tryna love my friends on the day to day

I followed Mac ‘cause he really knew the way

I’m tryna love my friends on the day to day to day

Followed. Mac. Knew the way

F-F-Followed. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac
