Small Change / It’s 2 AM

[Intro: Uncommon Nasa]
Yeah, these rhymes smell like Sharpies

[Verse 1: Uncommon Nasa, ?, & ?]
I don't smoke, but it's always looked cool
I'm a fire-starter by a ember and a mind targeted by propaganda
I'm tired and I know that's random
Mm, so what's the point?
If I really had a point, it'd place blame
Just blowing smoke till burnt, and taste pain
They told you don't point in grade school
They told you don't smoke by age two (Don't do that)
Caged danger, fenced in
Contained anger brings no changes
Modified by modest ties, codified by qualified honest guys
Small issues take from the big picture
These beats hit ya', and you can take hip hop with ya'
Then I'll point again and saying 'never again' but still having to live
Has anyone ever really changed anything?
Or is it all fakery to make you sing
Praises, suspicion raises conditions phased in, solidified by those that tried
Mass distraction, rapid satisfaction smack down any reaction and raise a fist when they passing
Moment of silence, Tyson [?] a verse rising
The lung could only take so much blood
Spokes kept you in touch made you feel the feel of love
Small changes made in haste and rush
Didn't save the world or change the rest of us

[Chorus: ? & *sample*]
Small change
"What are you gonna do?"
Small change

[Verse 2: ?]
This metal money in my pocket don't amount to much
I miss the fluff, is it ever enough, that's the question
Small change up in the low-value section
If there's more expensive items avert your gaze from their direction
Or pay attention the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves
Is that the same as small change manage well, sell
Sound investments invest wisely more precisely
If I can't rock my chain shouldn't be something to entice me
It might be, all about the return to the game for big chains but I've heard it said that they can't bring you happiness
Mo' change mo' problems mo' change to solve 'em
It's like it's ever-evolving are we ever really solving?
Should we feel emboldened by small change successes
Or patronized that we've been pacified as a means to suppress us
Quiet the noise of protesters and disperse the crowd
Throw them some small change and watch them scramble on the ground
Get down to get it, beg for small change like the homeless
Or sing for it like buskers that stand on them corners
They'll remain poorer with only small change to their name
Living and dying as pawns in a much bigger game

[Chorus: ? & *sample*]
Small change
"If everyone made one small change, that could make a big difference"
Small change

[Verse 3: ? & ?]
Yo, small change in a planet-sized wallet
Planet-sized delusion makes you fantasize odd shit
Like "This Facebook post is so poignant, it's gonna change the world" Nah
The real change will come from the planet-sized object
Hurtling to earth killing your vanitized prospects
Of hot sex, replaced by a feeling of dread, a new context, what's next?
Martin Luther King was inspirational
But couldn't change a thing, we're still a bunch of crazy fools
Killing each other but never saying thanks
Shooting each other but never spraying blanks
Making the bread, but never making francs
It's a cold world, still have love for old girl ('Sup Gaia?)
Still believe the 'I have a dream' speech
But human beings are weak, heckling from the cheap seats
Does one man have the power to change Homo sapiens?
Does one man have the power to change proto-aliens?
Not sure, but keep trying son
The night is young, sip a little tiger blood
Tell yourself something's really happening
In two months, you're back to smoking dust with a mannequin
Small change in a very deep pocket
Evil men, still tryna bury me in rockets
Small change, jingles in your pockets while you're walking
Small change, jingles in pockets of war orphans
Small change, made in haste and rush
Didn't change shit, let's go smoke some angel dust

[Outro: Uncommon Nasa & *samples*]
"You wanna stop war"
"You're unwilling to look at yourself"
"Does it work that way?"
"No"
"That is not how the world works"
"What are you gonna do, to change yourself?"
"Take that change and run with it"
"If everyone made one small change, that could make a big difference"
"Life, but what does it mean to be living?"
"No"
"This, this is what-"
"Es mijo"
"When you said the derangement of American politics, I saw that subtitle and my first question tonight is-"
It's 2:00 AM
"who is deranged? The politicians are deranged, the people are deranged, who are we talking about?"
