lyrics

Don’t be complacent. Change it.

Sick of searching for a reason, just to fake it.
Sick of sparring with your demons in the basement.
Sick of living in the same situation.
Don’t be complacent. Change it.
You can only reach a goal when you chase it,
Take advantage of a chance when you take it.
Be the greatest on a path when you blaze it.
Don’t be complacent. Change it.

Let your voice be the spirit waking up a generation.
Painting with your words. Gaining strength in every statement.
Impatiently waiting for something greater? Then make it happen.
To want the buzzer beater shot is chasing the greatest that
You can be. I understand there’s comfort in havens
And all that trauma is a monster guaranteed to be slating
Your every move as you pursue to furnish all your vacancies
Bound to turn you into unturnable pages.
Try to use frustration as a method of meditation.
Erasing impatience, replacing it with the greatest of faith
In God. Through darkness light up any temptation
That’s try’na drag you back into a place of self-medication.
That’s faking progress and making problems. Don’t wanna awaken
The sleeping giant of the past. Think about what he’s taken. And
When you’re racing towards an obstacle which angle are you facing it?
You gotta face it. Don’t be complacent. Change it.

Turn the tables. A pessimist to an optimist.
Switch up labels. A negative to a positive.
Jumper cables. A shocking twist to the plot of this
Well known fable. But change is not always obvious
When it’s painful. Be careful, losing the best of you
Can be fatal. But pursuing the best in you
If you’re able will then uncover the treasure. Discover
grateful. Just be grateful. Thankful.
Aye. Life is rocky when nobody laid the pavement.
So be a steamroller and find a way to pave it.
Know that doubt is like a paycheck. Save it.
Donate 10,000 hours into greatness.
Write a story so nobody can erase it.
Keep you focus on your power not your payments.
You got a God-given gift, so don’t waste it.
Above it all, don’t be complacent. Change it.
