torey d'shaun - change the channel lyrics

[part i]

[verse]
to be honest, i ain’t honest a lot of the time
i know that looking forward to attention can keep me behind
i know that if you make a scene in public, no pushin’ rewind
i know jesus was turnt and turned water to wine
pharisee come for your mind
i know that real gold ain’t comin’ for mines
i know that i’m protected, so don’t think no one comin’ for mines
i know that gettin’ high don’t get close to an elevated mind
i know that ethnicity irrelevant to who end up wise
i know holdin’ the emotions gon’ end up young boopie demise
i know that girl was poison for boopie, even though she was fine
i know my brother was honest when he told me, “seek and you’ll find”
i know the only reason i’m shinin’ ’cause the sun in the sky
no more of torey hustlin’ backwards
like backpedal, black rebel
never see the truth if he lacks settle
i take pride in humility
no more blowin’ smoke like a bong
i’m rightin’ all of my wrongs
and write ’em all in my songs
change the channel

[interlude]
no one’s–
swim so f–
socker bop+
well, capitol hill, the–
ah+ah
n0body cares about you and your ++++ dress
who do you really think you are?
give me my dl
i don’t trust you
[part ii]

[verse 1]
she told me everyday she go home, her boyfriend slappin’ her
and when she think he comin’ around, he overlappin’ her
even told her one time he was gon’ put a cap in her
and when she got the drive to be great, he’d make her the passenger

[chorus]
she said, “torey, pass this on like an assist
’cause i know other girls just might be goin’ through this
my life is a movie that i wish didn’t exist
i’m just waitin’ on a plot twist”

[verse 2]
i know this dude named ++++
he told me he got the results
maybe got a baby comin’ and it’s all his fault
went in the vault
beat his baby mama young and tried as an adult
how ironic, he was charged for battery and assault
went and cheated on her, and thought the doctor was cappin’
but he got them magic johnson for thinkin’ his johnson magic
his daughter grew up off of the trauma her dad brought her
she liked aggressive boys and the whole cycle restarted
[chorus]
then said, “torey, pass this on like an assist
i hate that i got my daughter going through all of this
got a history god knows i wish didn’t exist
i’m just waitin’ on the plot twist”
then out of nowhere, i heard god say
“pass this on like an assist
tell ’em that i saw ’em while they was goin’ through this
the world is my movie so
how could you ever miss that i made myself the plot twist?”

[interlude]
change
change the channel, change
change, change, change
change, ooh

[part iii]

[chorus]
you ain’t gotta cry no more
you ain’t gotta die no more (set them free for a change)
you ain’t gotta cry no more
you ain’t gotta cry no more
you ain’t gotta die no more (oh, oh, eh)
[verse 1]
thinkin’ ’bout the trauma
anxiety, but i promise i heard them say (set them free for a change)
maybe it’s too late
maybe this one i can’t escape
maybe this the habit won’t break
maybe god left me to die
maybe tellin’ people my business to pray for torey ain’t safe
maybe they don’t think god can save and they throw it up in my face
maybe h+lla stuff that my people passed down to me was a lie
maybe my soul would’ve got evicted if jesus ain’t take my place (place, place)

[verse 2]
generation after generation after generation of pain
i done see enough white to bleach, light skin would clean up the stain
everybody wanna be from the hood as long as it ain’t more than havin’ a chain
everybody wanna be like jesus ’til it’s time to endure some pain
train flippin’ off the tracks by the road
will i ever get it back? i don’t know
i’m tryna find the stength to grab this remote
i’m tired of lookin’ at the same old show

[verse 3]
i remember wakin’ up to the fightin’ and cryin’
mimickin’ late, night shows bumpin’ and grindin’
star arguments and relationships, thought it was normal
talked different around white people ’cause i thought it was formal
thought i just needed some money and i’d be straight
dog runnin’ from my problems, put me in better shape
thought i could never change and i’d still be the same
thought i was illegitimate and god was ashamed of me
change the channel (channel)

[outro]
eh
eh
