Change the World Lyrics

Mark Edmond, if you didn't know...

Say "I'm good", I'm lying

Searching for peace of mind

Need to chill sometimes, everything'll be fine

I'm trying, but still, I'm falling behind

Today, I decided, to keep grinding

Sitting here, thinking about my family

Eventually, hope to make them all proud of me

Remember, mom? Giving me $250

To go to the studio, way out in Kissimmee

20-13, recorded my first disc

Don't believe me? Nigga, you can ask Stix

That was right after my grandma died

My dad's mom, in '07, lost my mom's mom

That mixtape, never seen the day of light

I'm not sure, if I even said that right

Ended up, scrapping it

Back then, I was such a perfectionist

Still is, I need to take more risk

Shit, I'm probably sitting on a bunch of hits

Even though, I've yet to get my big break

Steady working, God willing, it'll be worth the wait

Right now, I'm being optimistic

Have my ups and downs, but the key is persistence

Ain't no stopping me, currently or hypothetically

You can try but see, you can't block destiny

Not here, to change the world

But, hope to pave the way for little boys and girls

Even if it's just a few, that's one less crew

Taking penitentiary chances, just to get some shoes

I'm not here, to change the world (Naw)

I'm not here, to change the world

Maybe, collectively, but individually

We can all start by being the change that we want to see

So far, haven't made too far

Tryna raise the bar

Fuck being subpar

Living life not knowing, faith keeping me going

So much going on, thankful I'm not stagnant

Came a long way, from waiting on the bus

Making minimum wage, working at Toys R Us

Been putting out records, figured I'd give them substance

But, maybe I need to start, glorifying drugs and violence

In the world, wanna make a difference

And, secure the future for my future kids, kids

Would hate to see them, struggle like I did

Still wouldn't change nothing

Except Dwight, would've lived passed 20 something

Can't help but sit, and reminisce

Time heals, but I'll never be 100 percent

See, life, is all too fragile

Live it up, but please be careful

To some, I might come off, as a know-it-all

Probably cuz I don't speak on shit that I don't know, at all

Not close to perfect either, I got hella flaws

They try to set me up by putting me on pedestals

But, I got good intentions, guided by my moral compass

Not saying I'm better than y'all, but one could see the difference

Y'all better watch who y'all vouching for

Be some weirdos and lames behind closed doors, for sure

Not here, to change the world

But, hope to pave the way for little boys and girls

Even if it's just a few, that's one less crew

Taking penitentiary chances, just to get some shoes

I'm not here, to change the world (Naw)

I'm not here, to change the world

Maybe, collectively, but individually

We can all start by being the change that we want to see
