Changes
Lucidious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't let nobody stand in your way
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
And take down everything that you cannot change, now
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
Picture this...
just a kid who's 21 caught up in a world,
tryin' to figure out where to go but he really don't know and so he runs
from everything that he knows,
Everyone that he loves,
Everyone that he once trusted but pushed away with a shove.
Lost a couple loved ones above to all of the doves,
the many issues but he sweeps em all underneath of the rug.
He bottles up,
He fights,
He drinks,
Late at night he just thinks.
He lies awake,
can't get a wink.
Prepares himself to sink.
Finally falls, slips into a dream that's commonly lucid.
Sees his name up in the lights and shoots it he cannot believe
That anyone would wanna hear his words,
Tell him to work on school and quit perfecting his verse.
I mean really, what is he worth?
One in a million.
If only they knew what he's been through,
bouncing back.
He's resilient.
Waiting for them to feel it,
Close his wounds with a sealant.
Eyes are glued to the pen and paper,
he's gonna reveal it
No you can't.

You can't let nobody stand in your way.
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
And take down everything that you cannot change now.
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
Ever since I was a little kid, I knew exactly what I really wanted to be.
Working real hard with an attitude only resulting in money for my family.
Even though we have been broken apart,
I'll make it all change,
I promise you'll see.
On my feet,
tell my loved ones that I will never leave.
Apologize for the disappointments I made throughout my life.
I know that I fucked up, but I promise I won't make em twice.
I'm cold as ice.
But I can; t keep blaming em on the girl who I thought would be my wife,
and have my kids.
The only two reasons I started to write.
Music showed me my light,
It took me outta my dark.
It's picked me up and it's shot me down,
But it ignited my sparks.
Still can't believe that they would wanna hear his words.
Tell him to work on school,
and quit perfecting his verse.
I mean really, What is he worth?
One in a million.
If only they knew what he's been through,
bouncing back.
he's resilient.
Waiting for them to feel it,
Close his wounds with a sealant.
Eyes are glued to the pen and paper,
He's gonna reveal it,
No you can't.

You can't let nobody stand in your way.
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
And take down everything that you cannot change now.
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
Close my eyes. drift away
Start to dream it's all okay.
Put reality on hold.
I'm in the place that I am safe.
Memories I will replace,
Future I will contemplate.
Every day that I awake,
remember all of my mistakes.
Going through the motions waiting for a door to open.
They say it happens everytime you see one that is closing.
Tell me life is gold.
I don't feel I have a token.
Wrote a story in my lyrics I have finally spoken.
I hope they listen cause I got a lot up on my mind,
and even when it don't make sense,
I can find a line.
As I dry my eyes to tell a lie to hold my pride.
Standing straight a chiropractor couldn't figure why.
Cause I rewind and recall the days that I wasted time.
Now I'm choosing any road that I can finally drive.
I spread my wings,
take a leap and hope that I survive.
I accept the fact that everybody has to die
...and I know.

You can't let nobody stand in your way.
You just gotta get back up, yeah
You just gotta get back up, ooh
And take down everything that you cannot change now.
You just gotta get back up, yeah




You just gotta get back up, ooh
(the end)

From everything that he knows, everyone that he loves
Everyone that he once trusted but pushed away with a shove

Lost a couple loved ones above to all of the doves
Many issues but he sweeps em all underneath of the rug
He bottles up he fights he drinks
Late at night he just thinks
He lies awake can't get a wink prepares himself to sink
Finally falls, slips into a dream that's commonly lucid…. sees his name up in the lights and he shoots it he cannot believe
