about

What's Changin' is a joyful and inspiring track. It follows a conversation I had early 2022 about the state of Hip Hop in Oakland. We felt that it was and will continue to be in the capable hands of the new generation. Evolving upwards and onwards, and planting seeds along the way. Yeah fam, I had hella fun writing and recording this.

LOL: My idea for the price is loosely because I like the phrase "A penny for your thoughts" so I am gonna run wit it! SO if you like it, drop me a penny or whatever the lowest amount is!

lyrics

It’s wrong to take sum time

To breathe ?

These in and outs

Be taking everything up outta me

I ain’t no pimp, sure ain’t no simp either!

And I’ll take the chance, like a shrimp eater

Or a dick teaser, finessing a stream

Building bridges of

The digits!

Hope

They investing in me!

I’ll sell a peek into a this life!

Only quarters fit through the peephole

And After a little change,

You start finessing the keys.

The peak is as far as can see

And this make-believe world lying, saying you are what you eat!

Blasphemy!

I must be lead! Or dead, Or just a sliver of meat.

I thought the racks up to my ears would help me hear the beat!

Still digging!

Still searching.

Getting nearer you see?

But that’s not all there is!

Sometimes I feel like I’m bartering!

Heart hardening

Half hearted attempts

to make my bonds paper thin!

Ain’t that a friend or ya man’s?

That depends though!

These selfish actions, got them flocking like pigeons

Wherever the bread at!

Even when the source Illing

You don’t really need that shit at all!

You know

You rock, without the stunts my nigga!

I see you shine as the sun glows

So please relax!!!

I know

You occupied

Praying for grace in tight spaces like octopi

And how could I lie, with my arms spread so wide!

I take a leap

And I’ll fly!

Beyond this!

I’m moving past pondering!

And that’s My only inkling of faith left!

I know tomorrow , will be better

So ilI fixing my face yes!

And if it ain’t Ill leave a stake and retrace steps again!

Uncovering pain, and them lessons that need to be taught again!

Once more if you thought!
