Change

[Verse 1]
On my last day, when they call on my name
You can trust me, it's all gonna change
It seems strange when I put it this way
But I was always good at writin' what I really wanna say
I came face to face with the fact that you left and you're never comin' back
Hopin' I would fall flat on my face
But the real disgrace is you hidin' my daughter from hell or high water
I guess it was all just a big lie
When you took her away I wanted to die (Why, why, why?)
Is there a reason that you did all this
Or was it all just another way to be a little (Bitch?)
I can't believe that you would lie to her
All these years and make her think that I just disappeared
And even though I know we hate each other
I wouldn't never try to keep her from her mother (Change)

[Chorus]
I really wanna change my ways, but I can only change so much
How can I trust that you won't use this change to crush into my life?
I might look strange today, so strange in a good way
Don't wanna go through it again
Don't wanna pretend that it never did happen

[Verse 2]
I really changed a lot over time
And a lot of people hear it in the rhyme
I used to live a life of crime on the grind with the struggle
I was tryin' to find where I fit in with the hustle
Had to tussle with the block a couple times
Never thought it would bubble 'cause I was always in trouble
But I knew I had to change my ways
Or I probably wouldn't be standin' here today
Wasn't sure at the time what I was doin'
I was so blind, but I tried to do it
Now I see that a little bit of change really saved my life and gave me this to write

[Chorus]
I really wanna change my ways, but I can only change so much
How can I trust that you won't use this change to crush into my life?
I might look strange today, so strange in a good way
Don't wanna go through it again
Don't wanna pretend that it never did happen

[Verse 3]
Hard times, I grew up in it
And the weed, yeah, it's true, I hit it
I can freely admit it, did a lot when I knew I shouldn't
Had to stop when the cops start shovin' and pushin'
In the burbs now, still I get herbed out
Early in the morning while you goin' off to work now

[Bridge]
My situation what I'm facin', all these changes could be wasting away
My situation what I'm facin', all these changes could be wasting away
My situation what I'm facin', all these changes could be wasting away

[Chorus]
I really wanna change my ways, but I can only change so much
How can I trust that you won't use this change to crush into my life?
I might look strange today, so strange in a good way
Don't wanna go through it again
Don't wanna pretend that it never did happen
I really wanna change my ways, but I can only change so much
How can I trust that you won't use this change to crush into my life?
I might look strange today, so strange in a good way
Don't wanna go through it again
Don't wanna pretend that it never did happen
