Winds Of Change

(album: Waylon & Willie IV - 2020)

Pulling up on a block
Parked right next to a cop
He's looking at the trunk with a smile
Throw the thumbs up, that shit is hot
Shit done changed a lot
Stick and move got to roll with the punches
I had a second blow in my pocket
And a six pack like I been doing crunches
I ain't about law, I'm an outlaw
Cut the brick up with a blade and check for the southpaw
Pick a bale of hay like a fucking cow call
Hold up, hold up, hold up
Jelly Roll Struggle and me bout to go nuts
Getting to the bread like a Subway
So put the cheese on top of the cold cut

Yeah spaceship like a zombie
Climbing out the back g's whipping up
C10 on that concrete
Bags lifted on that magnet
For some bass kick like a donkey
My glove box drop go on flip it up
Wave like a tsunami
That slum life not boss zip it up
Back when I was 18
I ate the magical bean
Boy you was potty training
I was out of body playing
Couple hard drugs that arranged it proper
Pay the dope man don't pay the doctor
Used to be broke like mom and papa
Now my wife's in fur looking like Chewbacca
No college cred but a credit card when that wallet spred
No yes man I'm [?] again
No Reddit blog that [?]
No internet when that trunk pop
No tough talk I did it yeah
Left major labels, I'm out of here
No stars left in my stratosphere

The world is ending
The sky is falling
My fear is rising
My demons calling
Finally realized
That I'm the problem
To break the cycle
Belief is calling
I feel like I'm drowning
Drunk on the blood of a broken man
Now that the season's turning
Thunder is pounding and howling the sounds of the winds of change

My people getting sick of pollution
The only cure is a revolution
We stand and they send the troops in
We need change and some resolution
Came from the gutter with all my brothers
We don't see color naw we die for each other
Ride til the motherfucking wheels fall off
When the wheels fall off then we get out walking
The hell you talking
I don't want the violence
But I be damned if I sit round here just still in silence
The bullets flying, people dying
News is lying so our sides dividing
Momma crying cuz her son is riding
Sky is falling and the stars aligning
Change is rising, tides are shifting
The human race is gotta make a difference
Don't take the picture that they paint and give us
Scream too loud they will never hear us
They instill the fear to control and steer us
Off the edge separate and kill us
Divide and conquer fight til I'm a goner
Imma die standing up on my feet with honor

The world is ending
The sky is falling
My fear is rising
My demons calling
Finally realized
That I'm the problem
To break the cycle
Belief is calling
I feel like I'm drowning
Drunk on the blood of a broken man
Now that the season's turning
Thunder is pounding and howling the sounds of the winds of change

(Hey, hold on)
(Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on)

Who is he? It's the fat mother fucker that be spitting that real shit from Tennessee
So confident I could run blindfolded through the woods and I still wouldn't hit a tree
That shit is low, we heard your flow, bitch we all know that you copying us
Cuz we be making more moves than a you hoe and making more stops than a bus
They hating on me, fuck 'em
Maybe they pissed cuz they see we got the whole team crushing
Or maybe they mad cuz my wife looks like the just jumped off a magazine cover
Came from the bottom to top of the globe
Came through the rain through the sleet and the snow
Did it despite all the critics and didn't even give the devil a piece of my soul
I think of the roads that I crossed with
Thinking of all of my losses
That shit be making me nauseous
Hating motherfuckers suck on a soft dick
I went from loathing myself with suicidal thoughts
Now I'm loving life
I went to war with my demons
And I came out with a bloody knife

The world is ending
The sky is falling
My fear is rising
My demons calling
Finally realized
That I'm the problem
To break the cycle
Belief is calling
I feel like I'm drowning
Drunk on the blood of a broken man
Now that the season's turning
Thunder is pounding and howling the sounds of the winds of change
