HELL IF I DON’T CHANGE MY WAYS...

[Intro: Illmac]
Uh, where you going?
Yeah, where you going?
Yo

[Verse 1: Illmac]
They know where I’m at, they ain’t gotta find me still
If the Devil want my soul then tell him dollar-sign the deal
Yo, please don’t make go there, I been tryna chill
They just on a vibe that I ain’t tryna feel
But if I ever did you wrong then I apologize for real
Told her love’s a drug then turned around and popped it like a pill
If the good die young, then I ain’t gotta write a will
I’m great, but cross the line I’ma pop ‘em like a seal
Find motivation turning flaws to strengths
If they ain’t on my wavelength they end up on my plate, I contemplate it
Chalked ‘em up to cost of greatness
So-called friends’ revolving faces became lessons I walked away wit’
Ask where this came from you must be misinformed
But hold ya’ hand over ya’ heart and now you getting warm
All I got is well-wishes for ‘em, even if they’re dead to me, that’s why this liquor pouring
I got bigger problems, bigger visions bigger plans
Don’t mind being a bigger man
This who I really am, not fake love, don’t fit the brand
They ask what you want and I don’t respond
Don’t need negative energy around me, only calm, some shit going on
Type of problems it’s harder to be specific
Grandma dying and - won’t even visit
My brother, he can’t be bothered, got problems that keep him distant
She told me her favorite memories, promised I seen her visions I was in ‘em
Memories I grow from
Like when I used to spit in my hands thinking I was rapping, I was so young
Talked about Grandpa Joe and things he’d say
Now when they ask where I’m going I answer ‘to hell if I don’t change my ways’

[Chorus: Illmac]
Yeah, to hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
Yeah, ask me where I’m going
Uh, shit, to hell if I don’t change my ways

[Verse 2: Illmac]
That’s probably why I got no patience
Kill the vibe, relationships end up cold cases
They pussyfoot around me now it’s no favors
I seen them Twitter fingers making bold statements
Ooh, I, handle it so gracious
They wonder how I vibrate high but I’m low-maintenance
Industry dried up, no mirage we made an oasis
Now we tell ‘em send the deposits before the location, face it
What good’s a dream if you don’t chase it?
Can’t reach a goal if you don’t make it
Look at ‘em, what good’s a dollar if you gon’ waste it?
Oh you’d rather point the blame, a’ight point taken
But seeking brighter days got me working nights
Going in, out here tryna get what I deserve in life
Pitch meetings with networks and early flights
You are who you spend the most time with, keep your circle tight
Uh, but me and my real ones in a solid place
I learned stay true to yourself and don’t accommodate
And never switch up for your pockets’ sake
If they counterfeit over a dollar that’s how you spot a fake
It was no love for the police before I caught a case
Now they probably looking at me like the one that got away
Just gaining ground, and lost some people along the way
No regrets, make this money yoga stretch, namaste
Where you going?

[Chorus: Illmac]
To hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
Ask me where I’m going
And I’ll probably answer I don’t know, to hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
Yeah, hell if I don’t change my ways
Ask me where I’m going
And I’ll probably answer I don’t know, to hell if I don’t change my ways

[Verse 3: Illmac]
Dealing wit’ some drama that shouldn’t exist
I ain’t choose to take part in, but I was put in this shit
Bro fighting addiction, I’m tryna find a way to help
He push away saying foul shit tryna isolate himself
I think, he don’t really mean that
Stopped myself from putting hands on him in the heat of the moment, but he might need that
Nah, I know he’s just projecting so his hurt’s replaced
Wit’ anger toward another person ‘cause it hurts to face it
Try not to take it personal, he deserves the space
I could tell he thinks his worth equates, to his worst mistakes
Empathetic, he felt deep since a early age
Plus got a good head on his shoulders where that burden’s placed
Nobody’s perfect, shit last night this felt worse
But I forgive you, you just gotta forgive yourself first
Nobody’s perfect, shit last night this felt worse
But I forgive you, you just gotta forgive yourself
Where you going?

[Chorus: Illmac]
To hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
Yeah, ask me where I’m going
And I’ll probably answer mijo, to hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
To hell if I don’t change my ways
Yeah, ask me where I’m going
And I’ll probably answer mija, to hell if I don’t change my ways
