Gotta Seek Change

(album: Tough Love And Parables - 2011)

[Bizzle:]
Just another day in the hood
Cats in the 8th grade slang 'cain in the hood
Rap songs tell em how to maintain in the hood
But these rappers they don't even stay in the hood
Cats like me will probably never get a deal
Cuz I say thangs that these lil wayne spitters should
They saying if you don't slang, ball or rap
Ya chance of escaping the hood ain't looking good
But Barack ain't rap
Barack's no hooper
Barack ain't slang
He used his meddula
So why rap never brought school up?
Unless they were saying how they dropped out
And still got moolah
And all that did was make it look cooler
To drop out of school and let the streets school us
And act out Boyz N' The Hood like Cuba
Gooding but who woulda
Knew what it spread to a
Million children
The city I live in
Now they bang hoods that they ain't ever fit in
First new rapper let the blue rag hang out
Blue rags and red doo rags when Game came out
Heard Wayne Su-whoop and then ya all flamed out
Satan working hard even Soulja Boy banged out
Ya whole fanbase kids lil homie
Did you really not know
That they would want to go the same route?

Home of the gang bang thirty years same thing
Why try maintain this
Chillin on the block on a mission for the gwop
Won't stop ain't you tired of the same old dish
And I be like
Gotta seek change mane
Gotta seek change mane
We ain't trying to change one bit
Got me saying
Gotta seek change mane
Gotta seek change mane
Ain't you tired of the same thing

Ay OG's don't be selfish wit em
Tell about the multiple jail cells and prisons
Tell em rap just sells an image
Tell about the funerals and mad caskets
And your homeboy's in em
Tell about that night with you and lil Mac
Both laced up your chucks put a crease in ya fast
Looking sharp as a fact
But little did you know though
Two of you would go only one would come back
Tell em bout the pain
Tell em bout the loss in comparison to gain
Tell em it's a shame bro
Drama to the family that never shoulda came
Don't lie about the other fella tell em it'll rain
See
You're like the soul
That been to hell but won't tell the rest
What they gotta do for 'em not to go
My dude you could help
Tell em there's nothing wrong
With school
There's much more he can do with himself
Turn negative to positive
Barely yet acknowledged that it take to do wit Christ
You do everything the opposite
You could hate me cuz I feed em what they need
But the Lord knows my goal's
To lead them to the King
I'm in it devour the wolves
Feed em to the sheep
But let me not go too deep
I am so unique
And they say I'm what the rap game needed
Now let us all stand in agreement

Home of the gang bang thirty years same thing
Why try maintain this
Chillin on the block on a mission for the gwop
Won't stop ain't you tired of the same old dish
And I be like
Gotta seek change mane
Gotta seek change mane
We ain't trying to change one bit
Got me saying
Gotta seek change mane
Gotta seek change mane
Ain't you tired of the same thing

Uh huh
Yeah

[Sevin:]
Attention ghetto children
Listen to a real one
You'll be up in prison 'fore you sifting through a million
I was nothing different addicted to the scrillion
They say keep it real but they be switching up
Chameleons
Clip up in my steele and I was ready to do dirt
We moved work
Beef
You get a old bullet through your new shirt
I seen my homie with his brain out
Eyes grey
We kept a 40 and we banged out where I stay
And all these dreams of college get burned quick
Broke
We meet them problems with sherm sticks
Coke
Bleed the bottle or burn bitch
It's a joke
They don't keep it silent they turn snitch
They gon' teach you rules they don't abide by
Using youth for they benefit
WiFi
Why die for a hood you'll never own
I admit it
I did it
Was wit it
The devil's own
Huh
But if the cat that you listen to is a fake dude
Then what does that make you
Homie it takes two
To back a generation
You don't help your kids
Cuz you lack the dedication
Stacking but ya faking
Going harder for the hood than your own seed
Risking your freedom for some good
That you don't need
My rellie's gone mane
Riding was all he knew
Why is it dying is all we do
