I'm gettin' back to my roots, I'm gettin' introspective
I took a year off of thought, it changes your perspective
Cause I don't wanna think about the shit that makes me wanna end up dead
I'm gettin' out of my groove, it's gettin' harder to see
Know I'm supposed to live up to who I know I can be
Yeah, I don't wanna think about the person I know I have to become
I'll save it for later, cause I'm young and free
Livin' for me, say what you will
But I don't wanna be who I am sometimes
I just want a simple life
Money and power may not be for me
Cause I don't wanna have the responsibility
We all say we want change without changing our ways
So maybe change yourself before you change the world
Money and power came quite easily
But my life was a mess back when I wasn't seen
I said I wanted change without changing my ways
I should've changed myself before I changed the world
Change yourself before you change the world
Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world
I think I'm losin' my touch, I got too comfortable
Livin' the life that I feel, that maybe I don't deserve
And I can't set any goals, cause there is nothin' that's out for me
I haven't written my stress, I just don't know what to say
I feel like I can't express shit in a negative way
Cause I'm so fortunate to have it all
Everything I wanted more
Cause I'm young and free
Livin' for me, say what you will
But I don't wanna be who I am sometimes
I just want a simple life
Money and power may not be for me
Cause I don't wanna have the responsibility
We all say we want change without changing our ways
So maybe change yourself before you change the world
Money and power came quite easily
When my life was a mess like when I was a teen
I said I wanna change without changing my ways
I should've changed myself before I changed the world
Change yourself before you change the world
Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world
