On “Change Up,” Derin Falana goes off in the general direction of those he despises. It was released on March 6th, 2018–the first single from Falana of the year.

Keep your eyes peeled from more music from Falana this year.
This track is added among the ma...
[Verse]
That contract won't work
You thought, you tried
Y'all know both ends got a middle finger, so it's fuck you two times
Matter of fact, fuck 'em all if they don't feel me
We don't have the same goals
How I go from "he ain't ever gonna make it outta here" to "nigga, say it ain't so"?
Just about prepared to pocket all this income
I'ma count it when it come in
Had your time to make a move, I couldn't tell you why the hell it wasn't done then
Soon as niggas got to runnin' shit is when I started havin' all the run-in's, yeah
'Lot of you hate on your idols, but we just become them
I adhere to it, yeah
I see attempts, but you can't compare to it (ha-ha-ha)
Put that on my life like I had to swear to it
The throne of my city, I heard I'm the heir to it
Like I wouldn't dare do it
Tay says you can't contact me directly, you gon' have to hit a nigga email
Tried to focus on the bigger picture, but the Devil's always in the details
How I know you need to hang it up and I ain't never had a job in retail?
Where I'm at, you couldn't touch it, even if you read braille
Wouldn't stay the same, I had to change up
Thick skin and cold blooded
Bowl of rice when the phone flooded, though I hardly ever see most of it
Up's and down's like the scroll button
And the price still goin' up
I once search, showin' out's the best part about a nigga showin' up, so I'm over here like—
[Outro]
I think it's 'bout time I change up
Drive my own ways then I got my change up
My town just couldn't keep a nigga chained up
Oh me, oh my, look at how I came up
