Culture Shift - Frank Samuel, Zay, 7i7 KWONY

Tonight we shift the culture, dip quick, and we gone/

(Take it from the north side downtown)/

Spray painted walls on the north side, call that art/

(Trying to hit 180 on the dash and go)/

They say only the dogs come out after dark/

This is the start, right now/

Taking your part, right now/

Taking your part, right…/

Look, my girl hit me and told me she got some news for me/

She said her momma is trying to leak the nudes of me/

She don’t even know I got the views for it/

And she don’t even know I got some use for it/

If respect is earned, then what you do for it?/

Live and learn, bitch, I live and learn/

Watch these bridges burn/

You deserve you a Grammy the way you act concerned/

Brainwashing your youngins with all your concerns/

Damn/

Pulling up to the Garden off tabs/

Embalming fluid drinking me, I can’t sip/

Watch as the culture shift and the high school days turn to new waves/

Watch as the old school talk, and the new school act like it’s our ways/

Your ways and it’s all good/

Your ways and it’s all good, all good/

If I changed then we all would/

If I changed then we all would, all would/

Oh don’t go, you’re the real one/

Who else could have taught me how to love and to forgive none/

Ain’t it strange, how I changed/

You the thing that keeps me tied to this plane/

I’m drawing up plans you ain’t seen in the game/

Cause my dad’s clothes fit just as good as his name/

I see your time drawing to an end/

I see me coming into what you meant/

I see the validation of my friends/

This is the way that my legend begins/

I’mma take your way so it’s all good/

I’mma take your was so it’s all good, all good/

I’mma take your way so it’s all good/

I’mma take your was so it’s all good, all good/

All good, all good/

You know that you give me the way that I think and the way that I breathe/

I cannot breathe, I cannot think, I cannot see/

What will I do when you go away from me?/

What will I do when you go away from me?/

I cannot think about anything/

I just got to focus/

On my path/

Tonight we shift the culture, dip quick, and we gone/

Spray painted walls on the north side, call that art/

Taking your part, part…/

…part/ (interpolation from Realm of Saad)

I’ve been posted in the parking lot/

I spark a lot, my niggas hold it down/

We just speak the truth, and bend the rules/

And free the youth, and elevate the town/

I’ve been posted in the parking lot/

I spark a lot, my niggas hold it down/

We just speak the truth, and bend the rules/

To free the youth, and elevate the town/

Speak of the devil, I’ve been distant/

Changing my patterns and habits, hope it make a difference/

But I could never get away from it/

Take what I want, make a change if I can/

But I could never break away from it/

Say what you want, but you could never understand it/

I could never make a way for you/

So deep in this shit, I might just lose my life/

Better than trying to make a break for it/

But I could never get away from it/

Poison myself, day after day/

I’ve been stuck in this, losing contact with fate/

I ain’t doing so well, hope you’re doing the same/

Fall in love if you can, it’s all the same anyway/

It never change day to day, I put my heart in a blender/

And mix it up with marijuana, chug it down with some elixir/

I brought you all to the Garden, beg your pardon, I just started/

I don’t mean to be brief, I brought you all to the stars/

Gave you light and some oxygen, melanin, sparks in the dark/

I accept every action and your flaws, every part of your art/

We all die in the end, and every legend was just a legacy too far/

And if love is the sun, embrace it with every inch of your heart/

But I’mma make a way so it’s all good/

Yeah I’mma way so we all could/

Cause if changed, then we all would/

Poster child for the people who struggle/

Mama wasn’t there, daddy showed me how to hustle/

Rookie year I won it all like I’m Russell/

Not too quick to throw a bullet, but maneuver like a shark up in the water/

Got keep a level head, stuck in these streets so I’m a target/

I swear these shortys getting bolder/

Probably sparking just to knock you off the market/

I swear these shortys getting/

Probably sparking just to knock you off the market/

Yo bro, what’s up man/

Been trying to get in touch with you for a few days now/

You haven’t been to the studio/

Nobody knows where you are/

I understand you’re going through some things/

But I gotta know/

What was so special about this girl to mess you up the way it has/

Well anyway, man be easy/

Hit me back/

Yo/
