I used to live my life in fear
Thinking that my ways were wrong
I lived my life by a book, written by Man

I jumped more evils than your man Knevil,
not looking forward to a genocidal sequel
Soul searching dark corners it's no lurking
Believe in self to better your mental health

Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!

I used to live my life in fear
Thinking that my ways were wrong
I lived my life by a book, written by Man
Nailed for substance so what's the use?
You're picking on a black man was my excuse
Sent me into exile, hard labor penal
Four years out and my attitude's real foul!

Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Gotta get away, got to change

Hard headed nigga and set in my ways, but I can reminisce
of iller days, wild child living foul
You gimme 3 feet or I get hostile, all for self and not for all
yo, one of these days I was bound to take a fall
I realized that I couldn't get away
I guess I'll die in my fucked up ways,
in my fucked up ways,
in my fucked up ways

Parental prison cruel decision for no reason all because I am not pleasing
What the fuck you want me to do?
No love
All you do is just shove money, lies, it shouldn't be no suprise
that I am real and you have to deal with my ways
Shifty in many ways, no charades
Momma and daddy treat me a better way

Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Got to change my, gotta get away, get away, gotta change my ways!!
Gotta get away, gotta change
