I'm Bout It movie - If I Could Change lyrics

rate me

Song by Master P f/ Steady Mobb'n<br /><br>

Fast livin' got me trapped in this street game<br>

Before i die i hope i have a chance to make a change<br>

[4x]<br>

<br>

I'm at the time in my life when a nigga ready to change<br>

I'll be dead or in jail if I don't shake this thang<br>

feel like I'm trapped in a prison, slowly waiting to die<br>

it's getting harder for my people, yet we don't know why<br>

they cuttin sistas off welfare, these kids can't eat<br>

and it's the children like ? turned out by the street<br>

I couldn't see it while I was outside slangin my rocks<br>

servin' death to my people, commitin the ultimate evil<br>

robbin' and killin' my own kind, Lord forgive me<br>

blinded by this life of crime, God somebody hear me<br>

since the death of my momma, my life is filled with drama<br>

lost both of my kids, punished for what dirt that I did<br>

I can't bring em back, so I get high to forget<br>

all the mistakes that I made, that time won't let me erase<br>

I keep my head up high, but I'm stuck in this game<br>

Steady checkin' myself, God help me to change<br>

<br>

[Chorus 4x]<br>

<br>

If I could change, I'd bring my momma back from the grave<br>

I ain't got too much trouble cause we livin' in the last days<br>

crime pays, doing broads can get you AIDS, gotta wear a strap these days<br>

All the time I stay high, trying to fight my stress<br>

jealous fool of the world trying to put me to rest<br>

last night i had a talk with my momma<br>

then the cry, asking god if she'd serve a purpose before she dies<br>

you can see it in my eyes, a brotha wanta slow down<br>

I ain't mad at ya daddy cause you didn't come around<br>

I'm knowing that the times is hard, but you can make it<br>

You see the opportunity, you take it<br>

but what about my little baby, I got a mouth to feed<br>

But i still wanta hang on the streets and smoke weed with the O.G.'s<br>

my homies rest in peace in the game<br>

I don't think you'll ever know the pain<br>

I wanta change<br>

<br>

[Chorus 4x]<br>

<br>

Lord know, picute me ballin<br>

trapped in this ghetto with my young G's callin<br>

Henacee and weed when they bury P<br>

a quarter key, 6 G's, when they carry me<br>

fall on my knees to no nigga<br>

trapped in this hood, raised by chrome trigga<br>

never had a pops, a nigga learned to slang cream<br>

should have been a chemist, the way i work a triple beam<br>

life, is like a page, I wanta turn<br>

I wanta make a change, but Lord you let my brotha burn<br>

I done seen a nigga lose his life over zurcubian stones<br>

everynight, my auntie bring a nigga home<br>

momma worrying cause the rent late<br>

3 strikes, my cousin's doing time upstate<br>

I sent him Camel with no filters<br>

I'm in the ghetto slangin stones with staight killas, ugghh<br>

I know kids that pack gats cause they bout it, bout it<br>

I'm from the murder capital of the world and we rowdy, rowdy<br>

is there a heaven for a gangsta, Lord put me to sleep<br>

cause your best friend turn into your enemy<br>

crooked cops is dirty in this shaded game<br>

go on take me out the ghetto<br>

I wanta make a change<br>

<br>

[Chorus fade out]<br>

<br>
