Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, yo, nephew, check this out, man
Now I know you got that bad chick right there
You ain't even trippin' off of her
But she doin' all of that for you
She got this, she got that, man she's off the hizzle
I mean, when you find one like that
You got to make that change, man
'Cause they don't come too often
And when they do come
You got to be smart enough to know when to change
Like Sam Cooke say, "Change gon' come, nephew"
And you better believe that
[Verse 2]
As I look back on all that I've done to you
My biggest regret
The things that I never could do
I see the light now, baby, it's shinin' through
Gotta give up the game
Yeah, I got some changin' to do
[Verse 3]
Uh, uh, I won't get high, if you want it
Get that straight
Nine to five if you want it
Keep my ass home at night, if you want it
Whatever you need me to do
When you talk, I'ma listen
Give you all that attention you missin'
Girl, I swear I'ma handle my business
Just like a real man should do
[Verse 4]
I can change, I can change
Know I can change, baby
I can change for you
Know I can stop, baby
I can change, I can change
You know I can change, baby, ooh, yeah
I can change for you (Yeah)
Uh, uh, said, you know I can stop, baby
[Verse 5]
Hmm, yeah
Hmm, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
I'd give up all the places I used to go
I'd stay out the club
Stay home because I'm wit you, yeah, yeah
I'd give up all those girls that I used to know
They don't compare
Baby, I swear it's the truth (You know it's the truth, baby)
[Verse 7]
So I'm through with the women
Yeah, that's right
I give up on the pimpin'
Girl, I'm gonna repent from my sinnin'
If that's what you want me to do
I'll get right, if you want it
Go to church, get baptized, if you want it
Girl, you opened my eyes and I'm gonna
Be much better for you (Baby, believe me, baby, believe me)
[Verse 8]
I can change, I can change
Know I can change, baby, know I can change, baby
I can change for you
Ooh, yeah
I can change (I can change), I can change (I can change)
Oh, I can change, baby
I can change for you
[Verse 9]
Uh, uh, uh, take me to the river
And baptize my soul
I'm so outta control, needin' someone to hold
Man, it's cold
I ain't been clubbin', drinkin', or smokin'
I'm focused, bowin' down every night, prayin' and hopin'
I'm tryna figure out a way
I just don't know how to say
But I'm rearrangin', hopefully I'm changin'
And you can see that, baby, 'cause it's hard for me
Kinda sorta odd for me, but ain't nothin' to it
If you need me to do it, I guess
[Verse 10]
I can change, I can change
Yeah, I'm willin' to make that change, baby
I'm willin' to make that change
I can change for you
I mean, out of all the people in the world
(Uh, uh, I'll give up on the pimpin' for you)
Who would'a thought that the big boss Dogg
I can change, I can change (Ooh, yeah)
Would be willin' to make that change? (Ooh, yeah)
Yeah, you special, baby, you real special (Ooh, yeah)
I can change for you
You gettin' a pimp to leave all his minks and his Cadillacs
And all that behind, all for you, nobody but you
(Uh, uh, sing it again, y'all)
I can change, I can change
I'm so serious about it, I can change, but only for you
'Cause you the type of female that, you know what I'm sayin'?
I can change for you
You bring that out of a player, make me wanna lay down the pimpin'
Hey, yeah
And step my love game up, can you dig that?
I can change, I can change
Yeah, on some Romeo and Juliet, ha-ha, I can change, baby
I can change for you
Gimme the room, I can make your zoom-zoom go boom-boom
(I can change, baby, for you)
This is legendary shit right here, baby, yeah
You know I can stop, baby
Yeah
[Verse 11]
Gotta believe me
Uh, ya gotta believe me, baby
Gotta believe me
Mmm, yeah
I'm tellin' the truth
Uh, uh, uh, you know I can stop, baby
Uh, yeah
Gotta believe me
Uh, believe me
Gotta believe me
Believe me, yeah
I'm tellin' the truth
Get baptized, if you want it
This time I mean it
Gotta believe me
This time I mean it
Gotta believe me
Oh, oh, yeah
I'm tellin' the truth
Gotta believe me...
