Change Ya Mind (featuring Tyson)
Tyson:
I was born into chaos, conspiracy, contradiction, confusion
Corruption, young soldiers with delusions of grander
These thoughts had a suction effect
Pulling us further into destruction, decay
Place of origin San Jose
My stomping grounds was a compound where
Siren sounds surround and cats took the first greyhound
To flee the town
Get out of dodge
Better off walking blocks in camouflage fatigues
A product of environment
So this is what produced me
But it don’t mean
A brother got to stay in this mind state
Contemplate try to elevate to a higher place
Navigate this treacherous landscape
Looking out for snakes
That smile in your face
And greet you with a venomous handshake
Experience has revealed to me
My arch nemesis
Shares my same shadow
Same heartbeat
And same fingerprints
And if I want to be victorious
I got to choose
Right or left, Right or wrong
Life or death cause life’s is a test

786:
(chorus)
you really need to change your mind
you really need to change your life
you really ain’t livin right
you need to give Him all of you
look at what He’s brought you through
you really need to change your mind, hey hey
you really need to change your mind, hey hey
you really need to change your mind
i’m not perfect
but i’m trying
i’m just looking for your guidance
please do hear me
cuz i know you’re with me
and i’ll share these things with all my people, please listen
(chorus)
I got plenty of stories to tell
And scars to prove it
For skeptics who don’t believe what’s reflected in this music
Poetics influenced by
Them shots that fly
Babies that cry
Foolish who have died
Trying to prove they more man than I am
Stories absorb in my psyche
And pour out of my pores whenever I start writing
Recreated on this paper
Resurrected in statements articulated
To try to make this world safer for
Young boys and girls
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Searching for the truth
And at times, it takes an odd shape
In the form of 786 and your brother from the golden state
And we got a message for all
If you haven’t thought about your fate
Consider this your final wake up call
Cause tomorrow is promised to none
If you hear my voice banging over these drums
It ain’t to late to change
Get your life right
Before the angel of death hears your name
(chorus)
