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 tooth pick yuo're sucking on was
once a log.
change-up,
and yr/children will look at u differently
than    we looked at our parents
