Things Change Lyrics by Johnny Go Deep

Canvas

2017

[Intro: 2Pac]
You know
My mother had a really bad childhood
And my father had a bad childhood
And I had a bad childhood
But I love my childhood
Even though it was bad, I love it
I feel like it's taught me so much
And I feel like nothing can phase me, you know?
Nothing in this world...
Nothing can surprise me
It might set me back, but only momentarily
Only to spring back

[Verse 1: Johnny Go Deep]
Back in the days when I was just a young’n
I would wake up everyday
Didn’t worry bout nothin'
I’d go in the livin' room
And see my mom and dad chillin'
Lay right in between 'em
That was the best feelin'
I remember the days
When we would be in the kitchen
Whole fam at the table
While mama servin' us chicken
That was our time to bond
To reflect on our days
We would laugh and joke around
That kept a smile on my face
Then shit started to fall off
Like movin' to winter
Started to get really cold
With no more family dinners
Then all you heard was yellin', screamin'
And disagreein'
I started thinkin'
This is not the house I wanna be in
But I wanted us together
Don't want no separation
Why can't they talk it out?
Eliminate all the frustration
Maybe I should just be patient
Direct my mind astray
And continue to pray that it'll turn it out okay

[Chorus: Johnny Go Deep]
Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
All you gotta do is maintain

Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
Cuz things change rearrange
You can't complain
All you gotta do is maintain

[Verse 2: Johnny Go Deep]
3:00 AM I wake up
And see the red and blue lights
I hear the door slam
I know it’s one of them nights
Parents screamin'
The lights through my window are beamin'
I close my eyes again
In hopes that I was dreamin'
But their voices get louder
My brother wakes up
I got a feelin' tonight
That I might see some handcuffs
I hear stuff breakin'
Threats goin' around
Put the pillow on my head
So I can stop the sound
They both gone off the alcohol
Can barely speak
I’m yellin' at them to stop
They not listenin' to me
The problem is
That they’re too focused on each other
Worried about some money
And their secondary lovers
The cops step in
And puts my parents aside
One comes to us and says it’s gonna be alright
Then the cop hands me a police report
I don’t know what to say
I don’t know who to support
Now he sayin' that they gonna have to go to court
Thinkin' about runnin' away
As my last resort
But I stayed strong
Not gonna be hurt all night long
I gotta focus on myself
Before my life on Earth is gone
No time for all this shit
There’s no need to stress
I was born for a reason
I know that I’m blessed
Even though I miss them old days
I have to admit
But now I’m on my very own pursuit of happiness
I said I’m on my very own pursuit of happiness
Now I’m on my very own pursuit of happiness
