If I make it out alive, I will make a change ... Nahko

14/2/2019

​Nahko focuses on his own shortcomings, with the objective to overcome doubt and inspire others to want to make a difference as well. He has said that the song was a result of analyzing himself for a few months and deciding things needed a change.

If I make it out alive, I will make a change
If I make it out alive, I will make a change

I need a change, it’s evident, a transformation imminent,
A chance for my soul’s intelligence to redefine lines of indifference.
I ride past the spirit with the well scratch pad,
always looking at my poetry for the reason’s I had;
And never stopped and let someone else take the wheel,
now I’m in the backseat like what the fuck is real,
About to bury the hatchet, bones no casket, 
The dead don’t dance to a liars message;
So restless, cross it off my checklist, poetic warfare,
A bear with horse hair,
He’s reckless, acts like he’s got a death wish,
True ......., tricking the trickster,
​Laws of nature, loyal creature,
son of the most high, willing to wager my plan;
And I'm a stick to it,
And I'll ultimately liberate my consciousness,
I want the change,
I will make a change

[Zella Day:]
If I make it out alive, I’ll come out on the other side
If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die
And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past
And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here
I’ll make a change,
I will make a change

[Nahko:]
Well it comes at a cost, and that’s obvious,
My list of distractions is infinite,
My delusions of grandeur are all equipped
With dark lords, back doors, and some wizard shit,
Well I did not know they were gonna choose me
And I oughta take myself more seriously,
Cause what comes through me no it ain’t no trick
And I know that all of us are born with different gifts,
so
Lift yourself from darkness take a couple steps back,
On an abstract attack I fell beneath the cracks,
I didn’t come here to drone out and drag my feet,
Stand in quicksand both hands and accept defeat,
I got work to do, let me get back at it,
The clock is ticking, I can hear it through the static,
Now I’m not being dramatic, enemies don’t sleep,
In fact some aren’t human and that’s hard to believe;
Cause I’m such a visual person, my third eye don’t lie,
He’s a wise guy inside, even fooled himself twice,
Thinking maybe I’m not ready to be leading the way,
I mean, fuck, I’m only human, bound to make some mistakes,
An earthquake took place within my lifetime of fear,
I hear this too shall pass, the beginning is near,
I want the change,
I will make a change

[Zella Day:]
If I make it out alive, you'll come out on the other side,
If the sacrifice I owe is the reason that I die,
And I know this too shall pass, so I put it in the past,
And of all the things I fear, it isn’t now and it isn’t here,
I’ll make a change,
I will make a change

[Nahko:]
I wanna walk in righteousness,
But I keep tripping over ditches of my selfishness,
I wanna pass a fist to a pacifist,
I keep beating round the bush instead of facing it,
So I’m facing it, some gladiator shit,
Yeah I’m ripping over rhythms, yeah I’m healing it,
But it’s non-stop knocks from the mountain tops to the city block;
To the tanks: Stop and block,
Another brother got shot dead on the sidewalk,
While the cops doing inside jobs and I'm shocked,
So my hands are stretched out to the sky,
Got some poems in my left and a gun in my right,
And my eyes’ll cry over bulletproof pride,
Cause I know I didn’t come to make it out alive,
And I thrive in the midst of a battle;
front lines you can see me in the struggle;
These are the songs of a walk towards revival,
even brave men can put down their rifles.
I got my orders, and I'ma follow them,
You can find me kicking back inside the lion’s den,
I’m making friends and amends with some evil men,
gonna bring them in, inject them with the medicine,
I'ma do no harm, but I'ma take no shit,
And I’m a build a bridge out of the emptiness,
And then potentially, well, I'ma live to be
the hardest working bear in the fucking industry;
Yeah! 
I will make a change;
I will make a change;
I will make a change.

    David Bowie (1947 - 2016) wrote and released his song Changes on his album  Hunky Dory in 1971 then as a single in 1972. Despite missing the 1970's Top 40, Changes has evolved into a Bowie signature song, now known all around the world as the sound to tune into when thinking about  Changes. 
    “ It turned into this monster that nobody would stop asking for at concerts: 'Dye-vid, Dye-vid – do Changes!' I had no idea it would become such a popular thing." Bowie is commonly quoted as saying.
    In 2004, Changes was ranked 127th on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.  
    Changes  "started out as a parody of a nightclub song, a kind of throwaway" Bowie is again regularly quoted as saying. Well, it clearly seems that Bowie's  'throwaway'  Changes is a boomerang that keeps on coming back: And in today’s climate of increasingly complex changes, I think that it is hardly surprising that the finite artist, musical chameleon David Bowie, was chosen by Chan6es to be our honorary King of ​change music and lyrics.   


Blessed are they who have learned to bear what they cannot change.
For every ailment under the sun, there is a remedy, or there is none.
If there be one, try to find it, If there be none, never mind it.
