Verse 1
Wake up, sunrise on a broken block,
mama at the window, she pray, I watch the clock.
Used to run the corners, used to run with ghosts,
seen too many funerals, passed too many posts.
Lil’ homies hungry, they look to me for signs,
I got a badge of scars, I got a ledger of crimes.
Money on the table, but it's blood-stained bills,
every night a headline, everybody feel the chill.
Pre-Chorus
Cold steel memories, I feel 'em in my sleep,
heard my name in whispers, heard the city weep.
One more wrong turn, one more bullet's flight—
I’m standing at the crossroads, gotta change my life.
Chorus
Change your life, fold the past, pick a new fight,
turn the wrong road into something right.
Left the straps, left the nights full of strife,
stand up for your kids — change your life.
Verse 2
Court dates, bail bonds, nights behind glass,
thought I had forever, but years move fast.
They told me, "You cold," but I was cold inside,
numbing all the pain with the reckless ride.
Seen fathers miss birthdays, seen lovers cry,
watched a little angel ask why daddy lie.
I pictured graves where my name could be,
that image hit my chest — finally set me free.
Pre-Chorus
No more running, no more running from the light,
got a ledger to close, got a future to write.
Swore on my peoples, swore on my life—
one last cold night, then I change my life.
Chorus
Change your life, fold the past, pick a new fight,
turn the wrong road into something right.
Left the straps, left the nights full of strife,
stand up for your kids — change your life.
Bridge
This for the brothers sittin' on the stoop,
this for the mothers holdin’ plates, feel the proof.
You can be a number or you can be a name,
flip the script, break the chain, stop the shame.
Put pride on the shelf, let your heart lead the way,
one step at a time, one better day.
Verse 3
I trade caskets for classes, trade racks for plans,
teach my seed how to hustle with two clean hands.
No more hollow stares when the blue lights come,
I kneel to build instead of kneel to run.
We still got scars, yeah we still got pain,
but we turn it into lessons, rewrite the game.
From corners to corners of different rooms,
we plant hope where once was doom.
Chorus (harder)
Change your life, fold the past, pick a new fight,
turn the wrong road into something right.
Left the straps, left the nights full of strife,
stand up for your kids — change your life.
Outro
City never sleeps, but we can sleep in peace,
hands steady now, let the madness cease.
One heart, one chance, new light in sight—
stand up, speak up, change your life
