Change
Lecrae Lyrics

Ou done had it with this, if broke is a habit I guess you back at it again You need a change
You are fed up with being broke; it seems like it keeps happening again and again. It's time for a change.

Man you need some answers cause you just lost your moms to cancer You really need a
Your mother died of cancer, and you're searching for answers. You're in need of something.

You done tried almost all the drugs And from Vegas to NY you been to all the clubs You wanna change
You've experimented with various drugs, and you've been to different clubs across the country, but you're still not satisfied. You want to change.

You tried new shoes and clothes But after while you still low so you know you gotta change
You've changed your outward appearance, but it hasn't changed how you feel inside. You realize that you need to make a deeper change.

Maybe if you could get a new you or new crew A new do, that would suit your change A new somebody to lay with Cause the last 5 just ain't make it they all betta change A brand new car on sixes the one you got Now needs fixing and plus an oil change You tried a new place New clothes, new tastes New ways, new face but you still need a change
You've tried changing your surroundings, your friends, your hairstyle, and even your significant others, but none of those things have given you the change you're looking for. You've tried new cars, new places, new clothes, and new experiences, but you're still in need of something more.

You don't really know what you were put here for but before you go You looking for a change You trying find a home you can call your own cause You way too grown to making that chump change Life's too short you been down to long
You're not sure what your purpose is in life, but you know that you need a change before you leave this world. You're tired of making minimum wage and want to find a place to call your own. You feel like you've been struggling for too long and want to make a change.

Now you got oprah on thinking maybe she Can help you out your hopeless zone She gone change you
You're watching Oprah, hoping she can help you get out of your hopeless state. You're looking for someone to change you.

You even tried the church the pastor Gave you bunch of rules they ain't seem to work You don't change You tried another one tho that gotcha Feeling good inside and gotcha runnin fa mo and mo change But all about you not God not truth Just because you wear the suit don't mean you been changed Christ is just a means to money, plus health Your like the master and hes the dummy No change
You went to church, but the rules didn't change anything for you. You tried another church that made you feel good, but it was all about you and not God or truth. Just because you dressed nicely doesn't mean you've been transformed. Christ is just a way to get money and good health in your eyes, and you think you're the master while He's the puppet. Your outlook hasn't changed.

Well if not that then maybe it's better to be Confused and forget all facts and all change Still been chasing change, and look where it Gotchu depressed ain't a thang not u ain't making no
If nothing else works, maybe it's best to be confused and ignore the truth. You've been chasing change, and now you're depressed and not making any progress.

You tried to find God The horoscopes and stars Ain't get very far So far no change
You've searched for God, trying different things like horoscopes and astrology, but they haven't led you to God. You're still unchanged.

What if life ain't supposed to be gravy Fulla hurt pain, death, rape, murder and craziness If God made everything Good then you still Gotta live in the hood what's really good It goes back to Adam in Eden when he ate That fruit believin somehow that he could Man disobeys God now both are at odds And life is just hard cause our hearts need
Life isn't always supposed to be easy and good; it's filled with hurt, pain, death, rape, murder, and craziness. Although God made everything good, there's still suffering in the world. This suffering goes back to Adam and Eve, who disobeyed God and now live in adversity. Life is challenging because our hearts need something.

You can't find hope in cars Hope in money, or people Only hope in God he can change you
You can't find hope in material things like cars, money, or people. Your hope only lies in God because He's the only one who can change you.

Jesus felt the pain, he was hated, hurt Slandered and slain his death brought Be a slave to your sin, hate God love money Love lies, Christ died so you can be changed
Jesus suffered through pain, hate, hurt, and defamation, but His death brought about change. If you're a slave to your sin and love money and lies more than God, Christ died for you so you could be transformed.

It's kinda fun for a while but you'll lose that smile When your lights go out And the pain won't change
The temporary pleasure you might experience from superficial changes won't last, and eventually, you'll lose that happiness. When you're alone in the dark, the pain won't vanish.
