A Tribe Called Red

[Spoken Intro] "I remember being asked a lot, by a lot of different writers, zines, and shit, like, 'Why don't you incorporate your race, your ethnicity, where you've grown up, into your music?' I don't identify with that shit, like, my identity is the music, everything you need to know about me is in the music: my home, it's where I originate, it's where I fall apart, it's where I come to life." [Verse 1] Back in the booth let the tragedy in Switched up the team, let the magic begin Told all you haters, I'm in it to win it Way back when them losers wasn't letting me in All of these bitches is mad at me, so? Money appeared now they magically foe Honestly really can't pay it no mind Because spending that time means I'd rather be broke I'm out here living my passions and more Witnessing peace as it pass through my soul Nothing can irritate masses like literally showing them stagnance can turn into growth Haters gon hate when you winning this shit Done for these bitches, they tend to forget I'm out here yelling 'bitch, look at me now!' I was once underground, now I'm stuck in the clouds 14 whole hours, a trip out to Spain High in the clouds, bitch I'm gulping the rain Just a year later still fucking these haters While facing my fears, no more running from pain Head is on straight so I'm gunning with aim No more fucking with bitches who stunting for fame You can catch me out roofless in something deranged Ain't it funny how suddenly something can change? [Hook] You gotta make a decision to be the one difference in your life And turn it around Turn it around, turn it around Even when you feel you dumbing it down You gotta make a decision to be the one difference in your life And turn it around Turn it around, turn it around Even when you feel you dumbing it down [Verse 2] Back when the preacher said change is to come All nonbelievers prepare to be sonned Not talking Jesus but honest to God I bet I reach my prime before air leaves my lungs Switched it up bitches, adjusted my flow Go against me and get wrecked from the go All of you bitches keep taking your shots But if one come at me, then it's straight for your throat Harder than nipples on bitches aroused Deity swag and omnipotent style Don't fuck with my bread and don't fuck with my head Cause if it get to that point then I'm seriously vile Promise you people that evil's alive Wish you could see what I see with my eyes All of the demons that be in mind So I burned all my bridges and cut all my ties Said I would do this back when I was 9 Said I would do this before I got signed Said I would give all these lost kids and doubters A reason and purpose to question their lives Look where I am and then look where I've been Tell me that I ain't destined to win Never give power to none of you cowards To tell me what you think my destiny is [Hook] You gotta make a decision to be the one difference in your life And turn it around Turn it around, turn it around Even when you feel you dumbing it down You gotta make a decision to be the one difference in your life And turn it around Turn it around, turn it around Even when you feel you dumbing it down [Verse 3] Gone for a minute but back on my grind Promise you you are no match for my mind Took all my doubt, whipped it into submission And forced my ambition to step into line I know that they do not want me to shine I know that they do not want me to climb I know inside that being a boss means making these bitches get back on their jobs Can anyone fuck with me now? No How do these bitches respond? Don't Looking behind to seeing me now What do they think I'm beyond? Dope I've just be taking my time, slow Being alone in my mind, flow Putting the contents of all that's inside me into this shit I'm designed for Crossover, pivot, I'm back in the game NASCAR on bitches, I'm tracking my lane Focused on bridging the gap And showing the youth all the ways to accomplish their dreams Know how it feels when they kicking you down And it's getting you down You gotta make the decision to be the one difference in your life and turn it around Turn it around, turn it around Even when you feel you dumbing it down I know it's hard to be adamant, too When you stand out like a sore thumb in the crowd No niggas and bitches and quitters allowed Ball inside you until the survival of your dreams Until you are living them out [Outro] Everything that you need to know about me is in the music My home is the music, it's where I originate It's where I fall apart, it's where I come to life
