[Verse 1]
You done had it with this
If broke is a habit I guess you back at it again You need a (change)
And plus you need some answers
Cause you just lost your moms to cancer you really need a (change)
And you done tried all the drugs
From Vegas to NY you been to all the clubs. You wanna (change)
You done tried new shoes and you done tried new clothes
But you still low so you know you gotta (change)
Maybe if you could get you a new you a new crew
A new do, that might suit you and your (change)
A new somebody to lay with
Cause the last 5 just ain't make it they all better (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)
[Hook]
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
You way too grown to making that chump (change)
Life's too short you been down too long
You see them clothes it's time for them to (change)
They say the Lord don't (change)
But the more things (change)
The more they don't (change)
But ya boy needs (change)
[Verse 2]
Now you got Oprah on
Thinking maybe she can help you out your hopeless zone (she gone 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 though
That got you feeling good inside and gotcha runnin' for more and more (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 You the master, he's the dummy No (change)
Well if not that...
Then maybe it's better to be confused and forget all facts and all (change)
Still been chasing the change
And look where it got you depressed ain't a thang not you ain't making no (change)
You tried to find God
The horoscopes and stars still ain't getting very far so far no (change)
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
What if life ain't supposed to be gravy
Full of hurt, pain, death, rape, murder and craziness
If God made everything good
Then why you still gotta live in the hood what's really good
It goes back to Adam in Eden
When he ate that fruit believing somehow that he could (change)
Man disobeys God
Now both are at odds and life is just hard cause our hearts need (change)
You can't find hope in cars
Hope in money, or people, only hope in God he can (change) you
Jesus felt the pain
He was hated, hurt, slandered and slain but his death brought (change)
Be a slave to your sin
Hate God, love money, love lies, Christ died so you can (change)
It's kinda fun for a while
But you'll lose that smile when your lights go out and the pain won't (change)
[Outro]
Yeah money, power, possessions
Chasing all that stuff, and you're still not getting that
That change inside you lookin for man
Cause it won't satisfy
You need to turn away from all that and turn to the cross of Jesus Christ
He died to pay for all your sin
Jesus
