[Hook: Zj Mission]
Gotta buckle down no holes barred it's time to change
I can't stay the same anymore
Gotta grow up doesn't matter what it takes
It's time to change, time to change yeah

[Verse 1: Isaiah Marshall]
I know I think about my past
But I won't let the bad times last
Talking bout the days they said that I was trash
Back when it felt like I was always bashed
Turned my wounds into battle scars
And they never were spread apart
Cuz I've gotten so strong and smart
And sadly for the haters this is just a start
I know it's hard to get rid of bad memoriesIt's hard to forget all of your enemies
But through all the pain, you gotta change
And you just gotta say
This is me and I don't play
Defeating me there's no way
Bring me down on my highway?
Nah boy you will never get me astray
Got no time to lose just enough time to change
When they judge you they plead that you are insane
Went from the boy to the man, from a toy on the stand
To enjoy my command, to deploy and expand
To destroy and disband, to spread joy it's been planned
With no ploy it is grand, don't play coy understand
Listen hard and listen well
Change takes time, it won't fail
Unless you stop trying, then it just bails
Then it's up to you if you wanna prevail
Keep your eyes on the goal
Know that you can break the mold
Just be you and don't ever fold
Have the courage just to do it and to still be bold
God…
[Hook: Zj Mission]
Gotta buckle down no holes barred it's time to change
I can't stay the same anymore
Gotta grow up doesn't matter what it takes
It's time to change, time to change yeah

[Verse 2: Zj Mission]
Oh Lord, playin back mistakes slow mo
Like the days when I played and I rolled solo
But my wisdom was so low
Always took the low road, coming up short like Frodo
Pride putting me on the way to the morgue
Wrong thoughts keeping me from obeying the Lord
Wrong friends holding me back from changing the world
Wrong love had me down when I shoulda been soaring
Now I'm open and seeing the vices keeping me back
I'm done with playin the defense it's time to go on attack
No longer making excuses I'm only stating the facts
No longer on my own like cigarettes I'm rolling in packs
Tryna find a way to change and make it gradual
Tryna make a formula but keep the data factual
Tryna be the better me instead of tryna act a fool
'Cuz haters out here coming at my neck just like a clavicle
So check me out, I'm glowing up like a lighthouse
Managing the clock I put my ego in a timeout
Tryna win the game without a fumble or a wipeout
Tryna land a hit but I can't do it 'less I strike out
Hook game vicious I give Drizzy a run for his money
That's like a charity marathon, children would love me
See that I'm in here making jokes I'm just naturally funny
I'm grinding every 52 poker face playin rummy
The hearts of kings 4 of a kind joining minds in the huddle
I learn to think about the team kill my pride to be humble
I learn to think before I speak keep my myself out trouble
And as for teams like I'm a priest I'll be joining a couple
For my improvement and the purpose of the common mission
Put others lives ahead of mine each time I make decisions
Focus less on what I'm get and more on what I'm giving
Sometimes you gotta see their side before you get the vision
[Hook: Zj Mission]
Gotta buckle down no holes barred it's time to change
I can't stay the same anymore
Gotta grow up doesn't matter what it takes
It's time to change, time to change yeah

[Verse 3: Zj Mission]
Real talk man I'm serious bout making a change
I'm getting rid of all these habits and breaking the chains
Yeah it's a process but a healthy one worth all the pain
I'm learning patience working out with the weights that remain
I'm talkin less about my problems more about solutions
I'm not the only one who's changing my entire crew is
I'm repping MO till I die like I was Harry Truman
Acting less on how it feels and actin more on prudence
Truth is how we're living life we never keep it hidden
These rappers live behind the bars I'm tryna free the prison
I'm tryna autobahn their drive so they exceed the limits
And do the most with all the gifts the Lord has given
But it's different when you living as a misfit in the puzzle
People tied up in the hype a simple fight becomes a struggle
But we're in it for a purpose we're empowered to fulfill it
They can bring the heat it only fuels my progress like a skillet
What's up?
