Tywan Bell & MadeInTaiwon - SLIDE TO CHANGE

Should I speak my words on this frequency?
Or should I let it slide and come back another day?
I don't know, my mind is feeling cluttered
Shit, I guess I can do a little something
Yeah, I wear my heart on my sleeve
These aren't tattoos, more like battle scars and everything I cherish
From my parents to my brothers
To my brothers from another mother tryna figure life out in the gutter
Chasing dreams for a cleaner lifestyle
And I haven't smoked in a while
But I'm facing L's, 'Cause now I'm ready
Shorter days and longer nights
Many fights and hella wars
Before it's all over, I'ma hit the world tour
And 'fore I leave, I'ma have to change the world more
Even if it's one soul, I did my part with no regrets
Humble to the soul, yet I gotta get this check
For the next generation as I break the debt
In my bloodline, deprivation
Faced the hardships so we won't see it later as
I speak my soul just to ease the pain
I faced my trauma just to see some change
We gotta grow we can't stay the same
So face the trauma if you want the change
I speak my soul just to ease the pain
I faced my trauma just to see some change
We gotta grow we can't stay the same
So face the trauma if you want the change
And I'm not perfect, so don't get it twisted
If you claim that you are, you're a egotistic
We come from trauma through our ancestors lacerations on the backs
Through the whips from the slave masters, Shit!
And I'm not conscious, that's just common sense
So see the truth, don't be incompetent
Use ya voice and amplify it with the confidence that's deep embedded in ya DNA
As I slide to the intersection in the 4 from 85
And momma I been on the road tryna get it right
And pops I hear your words now, thank you for the drive
And lastly for my second mom you always shared your light
Now I gotta live my life the way it's meant to be
And I'm not for sure how it's pose to be
But it's a definite that I'm getting closer day to day or step to step
While I keep a steady pace moving through the life spectrum
Finding worth inside myself
Upcycled old sounds when I did't know my voice in the '95 civic
Packed out, 7 bodies bumpin' genesis in the genesis
I put in work by myself, I don't need your assist
As I'm sifting out my life, everybody can't go
So put ya hands in ya pockets
Why you reaching for the gold?
'Cause it's not about the money, I'm just speaking from my soul
To find happyness when
I speak my soul just to ease the pain
I faced my trauma just to see some change
We gotta grow we can't stay the same
So face the trauma if you want the change
I speak my soul just to ease the pain
I faced my trauma just to see some change
We gotta grow we can't stay the same
So face the trauma if you want the change
