Even You Can Change I Did
let me tell you a little story about how i nearly lost my mind
it was in my early twenties i facing such confusing times
back when i thought i was untouchable in a world so full of crime
dumb a foolish like so many before me thinking the world was only mine
selling dope to so many stupid folks just to make that change
from hustling bums to toting guns like so-one gone deranged
the time behinds bars for driving stolen cars thinking where the hell was my brain
several time in fights almost took a life which would've been impossible to explain
the stories galore about the women at my door made me in no way proud
from bars to bars to racing cars just to stand out in the crowd
and spreading such evil by the way i spoke to people being so unruly and loud
doing so much stuff that i could never cover up not even with the all holy shroud
life was moving so fast that i would never last being so caught up in the haze
but as i begun to get older feeling the weigh on my shoulder i realize the era of my ways
from being as high as i could go to falling so so low lets me know that kind of life never pays
now from having not, to actually earning everything i got even has me quite
amazed
now the moral to my story is quite easy to understand
i had to stand up on my own two feet in order to be a man
stop taking life for granted that was not the lords plan
receive the blessing that was meant for you and give back when you can
