Changed Man

I'm a changed man

And that's God on the street

And everyday I pray

I wanna change I I wanna change

It's time to take action

I can't be all talk

Even if I don't see progress it's my fault

My fault my fault

Let me hear you say I wanna change

I I wanna change

I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man

But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man

I see what's going on in the world

It's so depressin'

I shouldn't be down

'Cause hope can help cope with the stressin'

I still can't help but wonder

How things are gonna be

I was once told to be the change I want to see

It makes perfect sense

How Imma foot a challenge

Now I realise how hard it is to find balance

As a person there is no calculation

Can't recall a last time I did a self evaluation

In my mind is where I find I usually promise

To make a change but now's the time to be brutally honest

Honestly on a scale on one to ten

Before I give myself a score I have to think again

On and off take a moment just a pause

Instead of what's good I'm tryin' to focus on my flaws

Keep an eye out for any foul play like a referee

At the end of the day

Just tryin' to be a better me

And everyday I pray

I wanna change I I wanna change

It's time to take action

I can't be all talk

And if I don't see progress it's my fault

My fault my fault

Let me hear you say I wanna change

I I wanna change

I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man

But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man

I love hip hop I just don't love it all

Fault for perfect so who am I to judge at all

Who ever is without syncing cast the first stone

If that's so not a single rock can be throne

Let it be known my self respect came last

Any time I reflect it's like lookin' through stained glass

But instead of drowning myself in guilt

I'm humbled thank the Lord for the house he built

Recognition is what we all seek for

I took the long way to get here no detour

Not sure why I just know it's right

No lie this didn't happen over night

I used to strive to be the centre of attention

Now I'm cool even if I never get a mention

What can I say except it was never planned

At the end of the day

I just want to be a better man

And everyday I pray

I wanna change I I wanna change

It's time to take action

I can't be all talk

And if I don't see progress it's my fault

My fault my fault

Let me hear you say I wanna change

I I wanna change

I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man

But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man

There's no reason at all you shouldn't be feelin' strange

Like the seasons the people change you see the same

Things happen summer winter spring and fall

It's no wonder I don't regret a thing at all

Over time best friends can grow to be distant

If you knew back then you should know me different

Regardless you met me once or a hundred times

Let me take a guess on what was runnin' through your mind

Thought I was selfish cocky and probably rude

I hope that now my image is slightly improved

The first impression is how you will remember me

So I choose to give off a positive energy

It's the best of me says I'm tryin' to leave a memory

That I am real and not just somethin' I pretend to be

A changed man spiritually mentally

Exactly the way it was all meant to be

And everyday I pray

I wanna change I I wanna change

It's time to take action

I can't be all talk

And if I don't see progress it's my fault

My fault my fault

Let me hear you say I wanna change

I I wanna change

I know it's hard to believe that the same man

But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man
