[00:00.360]I acknowledge the Satan
[00:01.960]I'm a changed man
[00:04.500]And that's God on the street
[00:11.070]And everyday I pray
[00:13.860]I wanna change I I wanna change
[00:16.540]It's time to take action
[00:18.050]I can't be all talk
[00:19.440]Even if I don't see progress it's my fault
[00:21.790]My fault my fault
[00:23.620]Let me hear you say I wanna change
[00:25.810]I I wanna change
[00:27.560]I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man
[00:30.160]But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man
[00:33.050]I see what's going on in the world
[00:35.050]It's so depressin'
[00:36.540]I shouldn't be down
[00:37.480]'Cause hope can help cope with the stressin'
[00:39.070]I still can't help but wonder
[00:40.650]How things are gonna be
[00:41.890]I was once told to be the change I want to see
[00:44.430]It makes perfect sense
[00:45.800]How Imma foot a challenge
[00:47.280]Now I realise how hard it is to find balance
[00:50.030]As a person there is no calculation
[00:52.520]Can't recall a last time I did a self evaluation
[00:55.610]In my mind is where I find I usually promise
[00:58.650]To make a change but now's the time to be brutally honest
[01:01.300]Honestly on a scale on one to ten
[01:03.360]Before I give myself a score I have to think again
[01:05.790]On and off take a moment just a pause
[01:08.700]Instead of what's good I'm tryin' to focus on my flaws
[01:11.360]Keep an eye out for any foul play like a referee
[01:14.660]At the end of the day
[01:16.240]Just tryin' to be a better me
[01:17.830]And everyday I pray
[01:20.680]I wanna change I I wanna change
[01:23.310]It's time to take action
[01:24.840]I can't be all talk
[01:26.210]And if I don't see progress it's my fault
[01:28.530]My fault my fault
[01:30.260]Let me hear you say I wanna change
[01:32.430]I I wanna change
[01:34.010]I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man
[01:36.880]But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man
[01:39.780]I love hip hop I just don't love it all
[01:42.520]Fault for perfect so who am I to judge at all
[01:45.260]Who ever is without syncing cast the first stone
[01:47.970]If that's so not a single rock can be throne
[01:50.840]Let it be known my self respect came last
[01:53.370]Any time I reflect it's like lookin' through stained glass
[01:55.900]But instead of drowning myself in guilt
[01:58.440]I'm humbled thank the Lord for the house he built
[02:01.720]Recognition is what we all seek for
[02:04.380]I took the long way to get here no detour
[02:07.270]Not sure why I just know it's right
[02:10.040]No lie this didn't happen over night
[02:12.840]I used to strive to be the centre of attention
[02:15.660]Now I'm cool even if I never get a mention
[02:18.350]What can I say except it was never planned
[02:21.180]At the end of the day
[02:22.680]I just want to be a better man
[02:23.980]And everyday I pray
[02:26.630]I wanna change I I wanna change
[02:29.290]It's time to take action
[02:30.820]I can't be all talk
[02:32.140]And if I don't see progress it's my fault
[02:34.920]My fault my fault
[02:36.650]Let me hear you say I wanna change
[02:39.200]I I wanna change
[02:40.190]I know it's hard to believe that I'm the same man
[02:43.170]But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man
[02:45.870]There's no reason at all you shouldn't be feelin' strange
[02:48.720]Like the seasons the people change you see the same
[02:51.520]Things happen summer winter spring and fall
[02:54.190]It's no wonder I don't regret a thing at all
[02:57.000]Over time best friends can grow to be distant
[02:59.830]If you knew back then you should know me different
[03:02.640]Regardless you met me once or a hundred times
[03:05.310]Let me take a guess on what was runnin' through your mind
[03:08.080]Thought I was selfish cocky and probably rude
[03:10.940]I hope that now my image is slightly improved
[03:13.620]The first impression is how you will remember me
[03:16.140]So I choose to give off a positive energy
[03:19.020]It's the best of me says I'm tryin' to leave a memory
[03:21.900]That I am real and not just somethin' I pretend to be
[03:24.410]A changed man spiritually mentally
[03:27.150]Exactly the way it was all meant to be
[03:32.450]And everyday I pray
[03:35.340]I wanna change I I wanna change
[03:37.740]It's time to take action
[03:39.860]I can't be all talk
[03:40.880]And if I don't see progress it's my fault
[03:43.560]My fault my fault
[03:45.200]Let me hear you say I wanna change
[03:47.180]I I wanna change
[03:49.260]I know it's hard to believe that the same man
[03:52.010]But guess what you're lookin' at a changed man
[03:52.570]Changed man changed man
[03:52.570]
