Change
Phats & Small Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, when the Chain Gang Change game, Due to respect, Manh
My hood is fit to maintain, Due to respect, Manh
Her booty brain go insane, Due to respect, Manh
Knew they weren't the same thing, Due to respect, Manh
How long were you gonna waste my time
I ain't waiting for the baker, but I'm still in line
A big mistake it'd be in thinking that I'm feeling you
The best is making waiting what the feeling do
If thinkers never rest then dreamers never sleep
We smoking purple, paint the walls the same
As a desert, what if we're already in a coma
We wake and bake, but we ain't leaving laving painting on the ceiling
Ain't no reason to be considered, take a break it's taken
She got her favorite color, every shade of green
Sitting on a Saturday, ranks of the Saints of Latter Day
Take you to another level like a ladder do
You can ride the bus or you can ride with me
We can ride together like we benched players
If I'm not you dog I'm not your plug, Loyalty is my favorite drug
And the dirty money be attracting slugs, Mushroom Mario, I was already BIG
They say so above as below, maybe not, maybe so
What's underneath, maybe gold, you can get it swagging Lucky Lefty
I'm an O.G., I get Lucky Low Key
Yeah, when the Chain Gang Change game, Due to respect, Manh
My hood is fit to maintain, Due to respect, Manh
Her booty brain go insane, Due to respect, Manh
Knew they weren't the same thing, Due to respect, Manh
Yeah, when the Chain Gang Change game, Due to respect, Manh
My hood is fit to maintain, Due to respect, Manh
Her booty brain go insane, Due to respect, Manh
Knew they weren't the same thing, Due to respect, Manh
How long were you gonna waste my time
I ain't waiting for the baker, but I'm still in line
A big mistake it'd be in thinking that I'm feeling you
The best is making waiting what the feeling do
How long were you gonna waste my time
I ain't waiting for the baker, but I'm still in line




A big mistake it'd be in thinking that I'm feeling you
The best is making waiting what the feeling do

The lines "if thinkers never rest then dreamers never sleep / we smoking purple, paint the walls the same / as a desert, what if we're already in a coma" suggest a kind of existential questioning, wondering if we're truly awake and living life to the fullest, or if we're just going through the motions.


Overall, the lyrics of "Change" reflect a desire for something more, something deeper and more meaningful than the surface-level distractions of everyday life.
