Change One Thing Change Everything Lyrics

Never really understood my dad growing up

Not like I hated him but love wasn’t holding up

But as I grew older I started to understand him

Lying there sick on the bed wish I could revive him

Did God take him from me cause I started to love him

If my feelings stay the same I believe he would be here shortly

This is a theory of how life works for me

Change one thing and everything changes concurrently

Positively or negatively you can never know

Everything is moving fast but I am very slow

Let me explain it the universes ought to stand still

But every in it is moving that’s why you feel time is moving too

But its at a stand still the only thing that moving is you and that’s how time kills

So if you stood perfectly stood still and all your organs too

Your tissues cells and hair from your follicles and you will never die

But then you wouldn’t be alive to be alive you gotta to move and when you move you gotta die

Upset the balance and there’d be repercussions

Before you change anything you better use caution

Some things are better left just the way they are

But we steady play God tryna find life in the stars

Look at how am moving they say this game is polluted

I tried to change hiphop but ended up in confusion

Now they this mumble rap but am tryna bring humble back

But everytime I make a move they like Q don’t do that

Ctrl-Z undo data Cmd Z if y’all use Macs

Is there a combination like a 12 **** life comes in true facts you cannot undo that

I lost my bro when I was 12 years old

Just another Friday big bro came home

For the weekend from the University of Lagos

Told dad he needed some money he couldn’t pay up

For some stuff in school expenses were going way up

Dad wasn’t giving him nothing was how he came up

Every other weekend he came back just for the same stuff

Now they arguing looking for who to blame but

Slave to emotions emotions already changed up

If mum couldn’t sell the war would become chaos

Out of anger bro left the same day

If only he had stayed big bro would have been saved

Monday morning am home up at the balcony

Cars pulled up I heard somebody holla at me

Tall dude white shirt with bloodstains

Anxiety on his face couldn’t be contained

Looked him in the eyes I knew something was wrong

He screaming at me loud where’s your mum where’s your mum

No replies from me was the only one home

In the face of medusa I turned into stone

This was the 90’s no mobile phones

Humble background we couldn’t affords home phones

Ran straight to the neighbour’s house knocking got the neighbours out

Ran back to his car with the speed at which we drove it out

I couldn’t understand what was going on

Everything was happening fast like fastfoward

Never really understood my dad growing up

Is not like I hated him I wasn’t sure if it was love

First time I saw that man cry my bro had been shot and stabbed by cult members at night time

Gave up the ghost at the hospital monday afternoon am thinking what am I to do

He shouldn’t have gone back to school should have been here till Monday morning

If only dad had the money to spare

Should I have blamed my father or blame it on poverty

If I could change that what would I change constantly

Bring him back to life or take us out of poverty

Cause if I changed it once would it happen again

If I could go back to the beginning and put a stop to mother Eve

Cut off the head off the head of the serpent even before it could bother Eve

And maybe we’d be free but destiny only got death in it and what would be would be

Y’all cant change that see i lost it all before and it all came back

Lost a good girl once and she aint came back

Maybe am better off single like a well played track

See we had Jonathan and then we all changed that

We voted for change and now we can’t change back

I might have blown up if I ever went commercial

But if I could change anything I wont change that
