Change Me

Dear self
It's me in the mirror, I wanna help
And every time that you're in front of me
I worry about your health
You ain't getting any younger
I see the lines under your eyes
And how you fluctuate with weight
And how to layer up in disguise
I see you fix yourself up for the public
And try to find your place
I see the other sides emotional
Behind a painted face
I see a kind of faded trace
Of a kid who wanted to make it
And animosity for everyone
In line who tried to take it
See thе hunger and the pain
In the lost blank starе
But you never focus solely
On the ones that really care
Say that you don't make sense
But you make bucks
You been about it since the first
And you still don't give a fuck
I be seeing when you brush yo teeth
Rapping in the mirror hoping that I repeat
I can make a change if only in me
I can strive to be the person
That I really wanna be

I can make a change if only in me
I can strive to be the person
That I really wanna be
No excuses gonna hold me back again
See you were for me now
See you were there for me then
We can do it if we focus on change
Let it flow like the blood in the veins
We can do it if we keep it on track
Only get one life time to take it all back

I been down to hell so I know
Where the devil's son is at
Told him like Chappelle on the
Real we ain't comin back
And we been on a trail ever
Since like a couple ants
Watch it all prevail in the
Face of the struggle can't
Even get a flail out of
Us for your trouble that
Has to put the nail through
The heart of your bubble
I never been afraid to fail
I'll just crawl through the ruble
Turn a single to a double
On nothing but hustle
Got the blade under your stubble
Don't even mumble is what it could of been
If the plan had stumbled
Had to be more than a drip
In a land of puddles quarterback the huddle
Fuck a deal let the cards shuffle
Life's a hard puzzle with your bark muzzled
Bunch of dark tunnels not at all subtle
Sometimes you gotta think for yourself
And let all the mistakes
Fall to somebody else
I know there ain't many breaks
We can all use the help
If all I'm givin is hate
Then I'm right back in hell

I can make a change if only in me
I can strive to be the person
That I really wanna be
No excuses gonna hold me back again
See you were for me now
See you were there for me then
We can do it if we focus on change
Let it flow like the blood in the veins
We can do it if we keep it on track
Only get one life time to take it all back

We can do it if we keep it on track
Only get one life time to take it all back
We can do it if we keep it on track
Only get one life time to take it all back
