Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too
Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool
I feel different today I dont know what else to say
But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never
Now or never now or never
Now or never now or never
Uh Im sick sick of waiting in vain tired of playing the game
Thinking of making a change finally breaking the chains
Every phase every happening craze
When its said and done my head is right back in the haze
Im ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age
And part ways with Black Thought from back in the days
I‘m stargazing from the back of the stage
Questioning if who yall praise is worthy of praise
Whats the phrase Bygones is bygones
Niggaz who used to be the underdog is icons
People say the light shines once in a lifetime
Is this meant like kind or crisis a little bit like mine
Im thinking not now but right now
I need some kind of sign that the future is bright now
I f**k around Do The Right Thing like Spike now
The quick and the dead which one is my lookalike now
Im moving ahead
Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too
Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool
I feel different today I dont know what else to say
But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never
Now or never now or never
Now or never now or never
Yo opportunities lost because I blew em
On the sunniest days of my life I cried through em
Moms is out the picture and Pops I barely knew him
And I would pray to God but Im tired of lying to Him
Tired of trying to run from the things inside of us
Got a lot of fam and a lot of admirers
Who tell me that I should aspire to change
But when I think of changing
Its like why even try this sh*t
My mind hazy and my thoughts they get distorted
I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded
You do right so your soul can last
But my role was cast before I even auditioned for it
So I dont really see an end to my vice
Its just false reformation no end to my strife
Feel the evil overpowering
You can go head throw the towel in
Cause ni**a thats the end of the fight
When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the lights
Like South party over its the end of your life
And Im out
Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too
Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool
I feel different today I dont know what else to say
But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never
Now or never now or never
Now or never now or never
When I look into the mirror and see my own image
It feel like theres something else far off in the distance
Something I wanna see but something thats resistant
And everyday the heart it in is growing more persistent
I never noticed it before but now I cant miss it
And the constant poundings driving me ballistic
I ran from it few years but its still next to me
And its growing stronger taking leaving less of me
I cant fight it now I know its just destiny
And I just wonder whats gonna happen when it catches me
Will it leave me face down in a chest of pee
Or will it just start bringing out the best of me
But is the best of me really just the worst of me
And if so yesterday could be my anniversary
In sinners court its important to have church with me
Im trying to get rid of these ghosts thats cursing me
I feel a change is an absolute certainty
Cause whats going on is a state of emergency
(State of emergency)
Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too
Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool
I feel different today I dont know what else to say
But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never
Its now or never
