Macklemore — Change

[Verse 1: Macklemore] I don't got time for meditation, nah Don't got time to have a conversation with God Don't got time for the congregation now, ah I'ma put off liberation 'til tomorrow Lord knows that I'm stuck in my ways Out here expecting the rays And do the same thing every day Then expect it to change, yeah [Chorus: Ben Abraham] I used to say I was never gonna change But it rain Water carry me away Change River is gonna run Why am I afraid? What am I hiding from? [Verse 2: Macklemore] Can't take in the church, if I don't show up If I don't do my job, I don't get the bonus Don't wanna appear weak, if I don't know some Can't find self if I'm afraid to no one Can't critique the world if I can't take a critique Can't blame my neighborhood if I don't clean my own street Can't blame the drugs if I put the drugs in me Can't expect others to change if I don't change me Lord knows I ain't perfect But 'til I put the work in Success isn't destined, it's determined By what you sacrifice for your purpose But what's the purpose? But what's the purpose? Until they close the curtain Put the work in [Chorus: Ben Abraham] I used to say I was never gonna change But it rain Water carry me away Change River is gonna run Why am I afraid? What am I hiding from? [Chorus: Ben Abraham] I used to say I was never gonna change But it rain Water carry me away Change River is gonna run Why am I afraid? What am I hiding from?
