Change

Story Behind The Song

To tell you the truth this song kind of just happened in a day. We had the idea change but a totally different feel to it. Then we thought we might as well making a singing song cuz the beat is so thumpin, so we called up the homie Alexx and bam, like that in about 6 hours we had the whole song smoothed out. Of course it took about 30 hours of mixing to get it to sound the way it does and to get that intro to grab you like it does, but all in all it is the song that I have made and has moved me the most.

Lyrics

Change: The pHormula, from the album ?What the pH@*!?? featuring Alexx

Intro (by Alexx)
I need some money
I need some change in my life
I don?t want to mess around no more no naugh nooooo

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (extended) I got a hustle??.I need some change in my life

Hook 1 of 4 (2 x by Alexx)
In my life I need to make a change
In my like I need some change

Verse #1 (by Alphamatic)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Everyday as I awake
I pray for the strength
To change this rain into rays of light
Overcome the pains and make it right
I?ll survive/ Getting by with a mic and raps
You can fall in line or be your own man
Everyman has a chance to change
Some let it pass by and fade away
But I?m gonna grab mine
Till I see that better day

Hook 2 of 4 (2x by Alexx)

Verse#2 (by pHilosophy)
Hey
Come get hurt by this work in process
I put in work and don?t work for profits
My work ain?t done till I make some change
Outside my comfort zone everyone seems strange
What I get in exchange ain't worth the pain
And if it don?t show it sill hurts the same
And when it don?t work who?s the first to blame
I need a head doctor to nurse my brain
Yo I'm philosophy if you ain?t heard the name
With flows so hot the flow burst to flame
She said have seat sit. Sit back and relax.
What seems to be the problem? Just gimme the facts.
I said doc I think my head is like the tip of match
I?m ready to strike, right I need therapy
Someone to take care of me
Hey just beware of me
And if this don?t work I need a money back guarantee


Hook 3 of 4 (2 x by Alexx)


VERSE #3 (BY EXAMINE)
I am who I am and nothing can change me
Arguing like I should have been on the debate team
But instead I was always busy blazing and drinking
Mondays through the weekends
My teacher from the only class I passed got me thinking
It?s seeming like my community is coffin and to often
I?m running from the cops and if I?m caught then
I?ll be locked in a pin and forgotten
Had this realization. Everything started changing!
What was minimum wage then, was now enslavement
I?m seeing lynched men hanging, used to be just slanging!
I was feeling DERANGED and delusion
But it wasn?t an illusion No!
It was the first time I saw reality
So strange cause I was living in a fallacy


Hook 4 of 4 (2 x by Alexx)

Verse # 4 (By: 1st pHilosophy, 2nd Examine, 3rd pHilosophy, 4th Examine, 5th pHilosophy)
pHilo:
If things don?t change this relationship?s in danger
She?s acting strange looking at me like a stranger
Doesn?t recognize me I?m transformed by my anger
Mad at myself cause I thought I could change her
Her words are tangeled like a spider?s web
Kind of like the words to get insider her be
The one that I lie with is the one that I lie to
I want her to change but refuse to change what I do
Exam:
Slide to the vibe, bounce to the rhythme
Love ya life cause there?s only one given
pHilo:
And what you do with it is what it?s about
So I make my changes from the inside out
Exam:
I rearrange and change the thangs that I do
And even though I change my change can?t change you
pHilo:
You need some change yeah that?s been proven
But making people change, that?s like trying to stop the earth from moving??.
