Lyrics to Changes by Infinite ILLIS. Out now on all streaming platforms

Born in the struggle but will I be leaving the same, truth be told I’m 31 be sh** hasn’t changed, that can cause a rash reaction ain’t no cream for the pain, take the hurt rub it in sometimes you gotta feel the flames

Could ether burn you or shape you, form steel cremate you, like finding lies in what they say is true, did it on purpose but say I ain’t mean to do, talking to a b**** you was your n***** or is, past and present rules to this n**** there is

Or not helping who you need it but you claiming more than a friend you don’t mean that s***, n***** know you until you need help, especially when green included that would do it money show you who the truest that be the s*** that make a man go get it himself

Before leaving home leave my heart on the shelf, no feelings included when you getting to it like f*** it let’s do it thoughts of others muted feeling leave you broke when you fending for self, then you get told that you wrong how you getting it, who are you to throw in two cents when you wouldn’t give me two cents so I give two shits flush that as a deposit you fail

Be damn if I’m stuck in this bucket can’t fuck with ducks keep it clucking want me to uhaul it but I keep it trucking not going in reverse unless I’m paralleling in a panamera f*** it I need major changes

Chorus

I been going through changes that forced me to change s***. Going through, going through, going through , At times I felt naked, like I wasn’t gon make it, going through, going through, going through,

What do you do when the unexpected changes your life, gotta move on life goes on if it’s wrong or it’s right, cause you’ll go through changes, that will force you to change shit, going through, going through, going through, changes.

Verse 2

Bugle boy jeans cheap sneaks and tee’s and hand me downs, when I was kid in parent now, f***, now my kids wearing hand me downs, past the diaper need a change, give me dollars and change, right a six turn around go around, told you s***hasn’t change

I need them on 10 fuck five I am never satisfied, unless we fresh me and mines, give me doe keep your pies, I would rather get my own, if taken offers I’d be prone, to some Indian give, I was born to be chief not a Indian kid

My momma ain’t raise me like this, that’s what she would say ask her, I guess my brain hit a switch, tell me to settle hear laughter, my GOD is not of limits, I take the bruises heal after, from the back of my uncles garage, to a condo this bastered

Use to sleep on the couch in a sleeping bag, cold nights in the garage with the heater jacked, where I found out my brother got killed hit several times in the head with a bat, it really brought tears to my eyes, we all know of death, but it comes as a surprise, when it’s somebody close it bring about change it will never feel right

Rest In Peace Big Ed, big bro love you. Already.

Chorus

I been going through changes that forced me to change s***. Going through, going through, going through , At times I felt naked, like I wasn’t gon make it, going through, going through, going through,

What do you do when the unexpected changes your life, gotta move on life goes on if it’s wrong or it’s right, cause you’ll go through changes, that will force you to change shit, going through, going through, going through, changes
