Change My Ways
Kodak Black Lyrics

Dawg, I swear dawg
I am really serious right now

It's like I, like I got a whole 'nother soul and shit
I feel like a completely different person

You know what I'm sayin'?
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

I need a baby to keep me sedated
I need a child to calm me down

I need to change the lil ways I be thinkin'
I need to change my mindset

I can't keep runnin' my people, I'm crazy
I can't keep controlling those around me, I need to change

I can't keep goin' to jail, that's fugazi
I must stop getting arrested, it's fake and not worth it

Ain't no more fraud, now I'm legally bankin'
I stopped doing illegal things and now I make legitimate money

Nevada won't even accept me in Vegas
I can't even go to Las Vegas because of my past mistakes

You can't keep runnin' 'round here like you made it
I can't act like I am better than everyone else

That was an accident, you got my baby
It was a mistake and someone else is paying the price

I got my grandma a mansion in Haiti
I bought a large house for my grandmother in Haiti

I feel like we still be goin' through salvery
I feel like we are still enslaved in some way

I need a coolant off all of these drugs
I need to take a break from using drugs

I be to quick reachin' out for my gun
I tend to resort to violence too quickly

I hope my son don't turn out to a thug
I don't want my child to turn out as a criminal

I know that gangster shit run in his blood
Gang activity runs in our family

My baby mama keep listenin' to punks
My child's mother is being influenced by negative people

They tellin' her to go after my funds
They are advising her to take my money

They hate that people be showing me love
They are jealous of the attention and care I receive from others

I got more money then any of 'em, I'm young
I am financially better off than them because of my youth

Harriet Tubman, I'm still on the run
Like Harriet Tubman, I am still running from my past actions

I'm thinkin' 'bout all of the shit that I done
I am reflecting on the negative things I have done

I'm tryna cover my dirt
I am trying to hide my past mistakes

I put in so much work
I have worked hard to get to where I am

Sniper Gang, this ain't a business
My group is not just about making money

Sniper Gang, this how I'm living
This is how I choose to live my life

I need to change how I'm livng
I need to change the way I live

I think I'm way too comitted
I have become too deeply involved in things

When I ain't thuggin' I miss it
When I'm not being a criminal, I feel like something is missing

My trigger finger be itching
I have a strong desire to use my gun

I think I'm losing my conscience
I feel like I am becoming less morally aware

I pray to God that I find it
I hope to regain my moral compass through prayer

I used to pop too much mollies
I used to take too many drugs

I think it fucked up my noggin
I believe it damaged my brain

All I be thinkin' about it
It's all I can think about

I need to stay out the projects
I need to leave my low-income neighborhood

'Cause all of my niggas be wylin'
Because my friends are always acting out of control

I don't know where I'd be without it
I don't know where I'd be without my past experiences

How I'mma stay out the projects?
How can I leave the neighborhood that has shaped me?

When that's where I got all my knowledge
I learned everything I know from my neighborhood

Remember we used to be robbin'
We used to commit robberies

But now he don't like how I'm striving
But now, he doesn't approve of my legal pursuits

No Bud, I ain't drinkin' no beer
I am not drinking any beer

Every day I'm getting wiser
Every day, I am becoming more knowledgeable

I'm happy I got away solid
I am glad I escaped without getting caught

E picked me up when I shot him
E helped me when I shot someone

I had to ditch all the sliders
I had to get rid of my old, negative friends

I need to change my surroundings
I need to change where I spend my time

I'm tryna be a lil calmer
I am trying to be more peaceful

I can't go back to the bottom
I can't go back to where I started

I need to change my lil ways I be thinkin'
I need to change the way I think
