I don't take it for granted
I got a good spirit inside me
But sometimes it does get cloudy
Need some common sense around me
I know
That sometimes I can be flighty
But I'm working on it nightly
I just hope that I can say I've grown
I'll paint a picture of a cellar door
And obfuscate the references
On purpose so it sells for more
What can I say, I'm workin' on it
But it's like my psyche's haunted
I'll just leave it all on the floor
I'll be the change
You'll be the change
I'll be the change
I don't take it for granted
This life is longer than I thought it'd be
It's gone from simply gathering age now
To finding quality
Don't waste my time on those that bother me
The ones that's prolly robbing peeps
That got problems with honesty
Don't make this harder than it has be
Drop the nasty passes, please
And come split this carafe with me
We can drink to our health
And how we don't need anyone else
I'm gon' be good to everyone that I see
Because I just can't help but be
And when it comes back around
Ain't gonna catch me with my damn hand out
Cuz I'll be busy helpin' my man out
I want my reputation to precede me
So that when these people see me
Know the hard part just got easy
I want to fill every role, all the time
Keep the ones I love close to heart, close to mind
I'll be the change
You'll be the change
I'll be the change
I'll be the change
You'll be the change
I'll be the change
