Capo 2nd fret [Intro] G Am Em D G Am Em D G Am Em D G Am Em D If I make it out alive, I’ll make a change G Am Em D G Am Em D If I make it out alive, I’ll make a change [Verse] Em I need a change, it’s evident C A transformation imminent Em C A chance for my soul’s intelligence to redefine lines of indifference Em I ride past the spirit with the well scratched pad C Always looking at my poetry for the reasons I had Em Never stopped and let someone else take the wheel C Now I’m in the backseat like "what the fuck is real?" Em Got to bury the hatchet, bones no casket C The dead don’t dance to a liars message Em So restless, cross it off my checklist C Poetic warfare, a bear with horse hair Em He’s reckless, acts like he’s got a deathwish C True hey hoka, tricking the trickster Em Laws of nature, loyal creature C Em Son of the most high, willing to wager my plan And Imma stick to it C And ultimately liberate my consciousness Em I want the change C Em C I will make a change [Chorus] G Am Em D If I make it out alive, I’ll see you on the other side G Am Em D If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die G Am Em D And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past G Am Em D And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here Em C Em C I’ll make a change, I will make a change [Verse] Em Well it comes at a cost, and that’s obvious C My list of distractions is infinite Em My delusions of grandeur are all equipped C With dark lords, back doors, and some wizard shit Em Well I did not know they were gonna choose me C And I oughta take myself more seriously Em Cause what comes through me no it ain’t no trick C And I know that all of us are born with different gifts, so Em Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back C On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks Em I didn’t come here to drone out and drag my feet C Stand in quicksand both hands and accept defeat Em I got work to do, let me get back at it C The clock is tickin’, I can hear it through the static Em Now I’m not being dramatic, enemies don’t sleep C In fact some aren’t human and that’s hard to believe Em Cause I’m such a visual person, my third eye don’t lie C He’s a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice Em Thinking maybe I’m not ready to be leading the way C I mean fuck, I’m only human, bound to make some mistakes Em An earthquake took place within my lifetime of fear C I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near Em I want the change C Em I will make a change [Chorus] G Am Em D If I make it out alive, I’ll see you on the other side G Am Em D If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die G Am Em D And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past G Am Em D And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here Em C Em C I’ll make a change, I will make a change [Verse] C I wanna walk in righteousness Em But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness C I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist Em I keep beating round the bush instead of facing it Em So I’m facing it, some gladiator shit C Yeah i’m rippin' over rhythms and I’m healin' it Em But it’s non-stop knocks from the mountain top, C to the city block. to the tanks: stop and block Em Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk C While the cops doing inside jobs and I'm shocked Em So my hands are stretched out to the sky C Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right Em And my eyes’ll cry over bulletproof pride C Cause I know I didn’t come to make it out alive Em And I thrive in the midst of a battle C Front lines you can see me in the struggle Em These are the songs of a walk towards revival C Even brave men can put down their rifles Em I got my orders, and Imma follow them C You can find me kickin´ back inside the lion’s den Em I’m making friends and amends with some evil men C Gonna bring them in and inject them with the medicine Em Imma do no harm, but I’m a take no shit C And I’m a build a bridge out of the emptiness Em C And then potentially well Imma live to be the hardest working bear in the fucking industry C Em I will make a change C Em I will make a change C Em I will make a change
