Change Up

change-up, 

let's go for ourselves

both cheeks are broken now.

change-up,

move past the corner bar,

let yr/split lift u above that quick high.

change-up,

that toothpick you're sucking on was

once a log.

change-up,

and yr/children will look at u differently

than we looked at our parents
