[Intro:]
Ooohhhhhh (x9)
[Hook:]
I wanna change my ways
I, I wanna, I
I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I wanna, I just wanna, I wanna change my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I, I never, I never, I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
(Yeah!) I just wanna (I just wanna!)
Change my ways (Wanna change my ways)
I wanna change my ways (Change!) (I wanna change my ways)
[Verse 1:]
Maybe I smoked too much
Maybe I drank too much
Maybe I'm too f***** up, don't know what's the fuss
Maybe I'm too far gone to rush, twenty years tryin' to adjust, don't give up
I remember that day in the week when I told you you were havin' my kid
When you asked if I was ready for this
I just laughed, kept hittin' a spliff
Actin' like you ain't make no sense
But now my whole life don't fit, I need to slow down and enjoy the trip
Got a couple home-boys that just don't exist
And the older I get, the more on that list
So now I'm rushing back home, yes I'm rushing back home
Every time I perform I turn the microphone on
Even watching my tone when I b**** and I moan
Don't know how I'm always out gone chasing shadows alone
[Hook:]
I wanna change my ways
I, I wanna, I
I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I wanna, I just wanna, (Yeah!)
I wanna change my ways (That's right!)
(I wanna change my ways)
[Verse 2:]
If I don't do it for us, well, then for who?
Ain't got nothing left that I can lose except you
You just want me to chill and come through
Maybe I'm too insecure and confused
Used to blame it on a whole range of bad news
And excuse what I did is the stuff of lost fuse
Time's up, mind's made up, I punched through
Maybe I'ma let myself grow and wise up
All I know is I've been lost in silence
And hope that I ain't gone too long without guidance
And I admit that I been out here whilin'
Trying to find myself before I find my timeless
Been out here chasing ghosts for mad moons
Trying not to get caught up paying dues
I try to fight it, but it's time I choose
But I just don't know what to do (Don't wanna change my ways)
[Hook:]
I, I wanna, I
I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I wanna, I just wanna, I wanna change my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I, I never, I never, I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I just wanna (I wanna change my ways)
I wanna change my ways
Ooohhhhhh (x9)
[Hook:]
I wanna change my ways
I, I wanna, I
I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I wanna, I just wanna, I wanna change my ways (I wanna change my ways)
I, I never, I never, I've never changed my ways (I wanna change my ways)
(Yeah!) I just wanna (I just wanna!)
Change my ways (Wanna change my ways)
I wanna change my ways (Change!) (I wanna change my ways)
