(Lyrics)
[Chorus]
Last night what I seen made my life change
Made my life change,
Made my life change,
Made my life change,
Made my life change,
Made my life change,
Ye-yet, yet, yet I move on
Yeah, yes I move on,
Yeah, yes I move on,
Yeah, yes I move on (hear me out now)
[Verse 1]
Where I'm from, see us guys don't believe in luck
I can't believe what they doin' to my nigga buck
Facin' time, 25 to life
Only chips is to fight or to forfeit
Baby momma tryin' to make the mortgage
Daughter's playin', tryna put cha back up in the portrait
Uh, it's like the tears never stop
When you was home it's like the smiles never drop
Collect calls with all the hopes of the best
And hang up with a knot in my chest
See, see your cell is my hell
My hell is our pain
The hurt gon never stop until we see you home again
And that's all we wanna see
Maybe in a dream but not a memory
Forget that, hold your head man, head mean
Last night what I seen made my life change
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I was retched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked
So much soul I had left my family forsaken
A troubled soul whose heart was often achin'
So much dough but my spirit ever so vacant
Foul and flagrant, I was taken off course
The road ahead should have ended me in divorce
But now I see clearly with the family of 4
Never did I deserve a 2-seater Porsche
Heart filled with remorse, my life was such a mess
Now I'm back on board due to the lords GPS
One eighty degree turn whoever could've guessed
Malice believe in his heart and out my mouth I confess
YES, more than blessed I was chosen
I been on the troop, my wisdom is that of old men
Wasted so much time stuntin' for folk
When really the whole time I was just stuntin' my growth
A message to the youth, what I'm offering is hope
Now somethings gotta change, I'm at the end of my rope cause..
[Chorus]
You know I gotta go and get it
There ain't no other choice in it
Ain't tryin' to be a part of the percentage
Hear me out now
[Verse 3]
Lord knows I done seen the worlds cold shoulder
Seein' my future through the crystal ball of bakin' soda
Oasis of hoes, my champagne supernova
The high life and high times, I watched 'em turn sober
Seen it all come crashin', crashin'
The Feds was at the door and no they not askin'
Sayin' they found drugs, but they ain't talkin' aspirin
Diesel design ones and I ain't talkin' fast shit
[Verse 4]
Money hoes and clothes is Malice's past tense
All said forgiven, all you do is askin'
Even when laughin', I can't explain the hurt
Knowin' I can't change the world in a verse
Even to myself I'm feelin' my screws loose
But how can I deny what I know to be true
When I didn't have a clue, shoulda viewed it as a gift
Now I see what they mean ignorance is bliss
[Chorus]
You know I gotta go and get it
There ain't no other choice in it
Ain't tryin' to be a part of the percentage
Hear me out now
