Changes
Gentleman Lyrics

No more time to waste
There is no more time to waste on procrastination

And you know just what to do
You know what steps must be taken and how to move forward

Leaving out the old
Eliminating old, outdated ways from your life

And picking up the new
Embracing new beginnings and fresh perspectives

And there is nothing to replace
There is nothing that can be substituted for the changes that need to be made

'Cause it's all inside of you (changes)
The changes that need to be made start within you and are a reflection of your inner self

Mind finally awake
Your mind has been awakened to new possibilities and ways of thinking

And you nah sleep no more
You are no longer complacent and passive about your life but are actively pursuing your goals

Now you know the depth of yourself
You have gained a deeper understanding of who you are as a person

And even more in store
You have the potential to continue growing and evolving as a person

You have been rich
You have experienced moments of abundance and wealth in your life

And you thought you were so poor (changes)
Despite previous struggles, you now recognize your inherent worth and potential for greatness

I can see the rain
The rain serves as a metaphor for sadness and despair

Falling on my window pane
The rain is a reminder of past pain and difficult experiences

Hear this voice again
A voice of reason that reminds you of your abilities and strengths

Don't worry 'bout tomorrow no
Don't be consumed by worry and anxiety about the future

We wouldn't feel the same
With positive changes in our lives, we would no longer feel the same despair and sadness

This is to erase the pain
The goal is to eliminate the factors that caused you pain in the past

Go build a better tomorrow yeah
Take proactive steps towards creating a better future for yourself

Seems like there's no justice
The world can sometimes feel unfair and unjust

Me hear dem bawling out for peace
Others are crying out for peace and harmony in the world

And a war dem a practice
Despite the cry for peace, violence and conflict still persist in the world

Find di code mek we crack dis
We need to figure out the root cause of problems in order to solve them

Nah go feel no way
Don't let negativity and pessimism hold you back

Breaking out today
Make a change starting today to break free from negative cycles

Di system attract dis
The current system perpetuates the problems that exist

Corrupt mi mind
The corrupt system has had a negative impact on my thinking and outlook on life

But you cya touch mi soul
Despite the negative influences, one's soul is resilient and cannot be touched by external forces

Humble as a lamb
Despite the challenges faced, one remains humble and kind

But like a lion me roar
One has a strong, unyielding spirit like that of a lion's roar

Me nah read yuh script
One is breaking free from the constructs and expectations of others

And me nah play yuh roll
One will not conform to society's expectations or act according to someone else's plan

'Cah me see di fool has never been told
Those who are blind to their own ignorance have never been enlightened

See dem wan' recruit
Others may want to influence or recruit you to follow their path

And you know we nah go join dem
You know that following their path is not the right choice for you

Eyes wide open, so we see between di line dem
You are perceptive and can see beyond surface-level issues to identify underlying problems

Treseaurs well hidden, but we know where to find dem
The solutions to problems may not be obvious, but with diligence and critical thinking, they can be found

Be not afraid, speak what is on your mind den
Don't be afraid to speak your truth and express your thoughts and opinions

Mount lef and clear
Leave behind all that holds you back and pursue your goals with clarity

Very hard to define dem
Complex issues are difficult to define and solve

From any indecision
Being indecisive can lead to missed opportunities or poor decision-making

Yeah we need to decline dem
People and systems that don't align with your values or goals should be declined and avoided

Take what is yours
Be assertive and claim what you are rightfully owed

And leave what is mine then
Allow others to claim what is rightfully theirs

Living one day at a time then
Live in the present moment and take things one day at a time

Yes Don Corleone
Addressing a respected figure, perhaps as a metaphor for powerful and influential forces that must be dealt with

And Gentleman
Addressing oneself, a symbol of self-empowerment and personal accountability

We earn our future, yeah
The future is what we make of it based on our actions and decisions

Brrrrr
A sound effect, perhaps to emphasize a point or for stylistic effect

Boom
A sound effect, perhaps to represent a metaphorical explosion or impact
