Jam - I’ve Changed My Address lyrics

[Juice speaking]

"They say there is no hope for the young generation. I beg

to differ. I feel like we gon' go there, you know. You all

just got to trust us. It's like they don't trust us. When

you think about it though, it's up to us to make it happen. For real."

[Chorus: Kahea]

Don't worry about what happen then

Just know that we can win

Keep your head up and smile within

YOu know we gon' make it

Doesn't matter if they don't believe

You know we will suceeed

Got through the bad times to live the good times

We gon' make it

[Verse 1]

Now we possesing old souls but we young folks

I figure generation X will give us some hope

We all some lost souls, all seeking knowledge bad

It's all the same, whether dropouts or college grads

And 2001 was timulturous

Tith all these terrorist attacks on our culture, plus

In NY, we had to watch the buildings crumble down

And Lisa "Left Eye" is gone, so we humble now

To tell the truth, I still bug on how Aaliyah left

But if you look when it's cold, you could see her breath

"One in a Million" girl, and there ain't too many flows that I can do

But Ness, he made me hear the soul in the sample

Funerals, the only time the hood come together

And when a kid pass away young, he's young forever

Preserved in the image that the good lord made him

Generation Y, they can't fade him, No

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

I'm chilling with this gangbanger from the west side

He ask me why am I alive and all the rest die

Little hustler, he had just lost his best friend

Somebody let the pistol blow like the west wind

I told him, death is like magic, homies dissappear

I mean, we know their spirits living, but we miss them here

I told him, "Player listen, you were blessed to be hear"

Finally, took a puff of smoke to make him see clear, see there

He been hustling for three years, spillin malt cheap beer for this tee's peers

Little chip, so I asked him "Where's your momma man?"

And he said, "Well, she's with Dr. King in the promise land."

I told him, "Do your thing but never lose your focus

My only hope is that you learn about what hope is."

And oh yeah, I know about what selling dope is

To tell the truth, we do the same thing in show biz

Now keep living

[Chorus] plus

Though we came to get paid, and sometimes it's not the right way

But if you learn something this day, we can make it

[Verse 3]

I used to hang on the block, with the glock

From six o'clock to six o'clock

I used to tell all the haters, forget me not

Then the whole world found out I MC hot

These old folks call us thugs right

Big rims and froze ropes, we love life

So I have to say something to today's youth

Whether you sipping grey goose or pray to Jesus, hang loose

There's nothing that can stop us, no crooked coppers

It's time to get our proppers, now's the time

Broke, I done been there a million times

Cheese that don't melt, little children crying

And that's why corrupt thoughts fill their mind

Cats come out the projects and still they shine

So whether MVA or NBA, call my niggas on the block

I'll simply say, keep hustling

[Chorus]
