Testo Change - Durte
Testo della canzone Change (Durte), tratta dall'album Broken Strings & Beat Machines
Certainly the most destructive vice, if you like
That a person can have, more than pride, is self-pity
I think self-pity is the worst possible emotion anyone can have
And the most destructive, it destroys everything around it, except itself
Self-pity will destroy relationships, it'll destroy anything that's good
It will fulfill all the prophecies it makes, and leave only itself
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
Looking for someone to blame? Who's it gonna be?
Well, you could put it on me, 'cause nobody around here
Sees the man in the mirror any clearer than I do
And I can bring the pain if you wanna beef
One of us is gonna break, who's it gonna be?
Well, it ain't gonna be me
Ain't no way I'm accepting defeat
I won't stop 'til that reflection is me
I spend my time sittin' around, feeling sorry for myself
Blaming anybody else and watch the don't get done
Getting salty at the next man, sink in my depression
Is the reason all I want to do is get drunk
You see, we on a journey, and journeys are made of choices
Choosing the directions of the paths we gonna take
So you can get pissed off whenever you get lost
And look at the driver, but then you see your own face
You can get right or you can get left
You can, you can live life, or you can await death
Time is constantly giving us the present, every second, and every breath
It's up to you, what you do with the gift
You can get loose, start boozing and cruise through a fifth
Pissing the night away as usual
Usually gets you right back in the loop, but as stupid as shit
But if you choosin' to lose, really, who is the bitch?
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
Looking for someone to blame? Who's it gonna be?
Well, you could put it on me, 'cause nobody around here
Sees the man in the mirror any clearer than I do
And I can bring the pain if you wanna beef
One of us is gonna break, who's it gonna be?
Well, it ain't gonna be me
Ain't no way I'm accepting defeat
I won't stop 'til that reflection is me (yeah)
So many nights alone, I sit cold just holding my phone
Think of mistakes that I made on my own, it's hard lettin' 'em go
Think I'm young when I know that I'm grown
Travel so much. When I'm home, only time that I'm gone
Mind crowded, only depress when I allow it
Stuck in a maze, can't find my way out it
Maybe you could give me a break?
Father, forgive me for the sins I'm committing today
I listen to songs to cope while I'm drifting away
I had dreams and aspirations, but they get in the way
I got the Lord on my shoulders tryna give me a push
Same time got the devil tryna get me to stay
Different is same, mainly 'cause I'm living in shame
But I made my own choices, sitting in this prison I made
But if you apply enough pressure to the tension you make
Sooner or later, you get it to break, 'cause' I was told that
You got to be the change that you wanna see
Looking for someone to blame? Who's it gonna be?
Well, you can put it on me, 'cause nobody around here
Sees the man in the mirror any clearer than I do
And I can bring the pain if you wanna beef
One of us is gonna break, who's it gonna be?
Well, it ain't gonna be me
Ain't no way I'm accepting defeat
I won't stop 'til that reflection is me
Listen, this shouldn't be that difficult to grasp
Instead of throwing up excuses, reaching for a flask
To try and get numb, go get uncomfortable
Apologize for the times when you were acting like an ass
Feeling bad about yourself? Maybe you got a little fat?
Put that fast food down, go in the kitchen, grab a pan
You do a little work, then you start to see results
Keep on pushing through the hurt, and stay consistent, it'll pass
Look at me, for instance, I had issues with my dad
Worshiped the ground he walked on, was a fetcher for his cans
'Til one day, when he was drunk, I said something that made him mad
Said that the best part of me ran out of the crack of my mother's ass
From that day on, excuses became reasons
Ain't none of you motherfuckers will tell me if I'm succeeding
I stand in front of a mirror, and rap it 'til I believe it
And break me a fucking dollar if I don't like what I'm seein'
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
Looking for someone to blame? Who's it gonna be?
Well, you could put it on me, 'cause nobody around here
Sees the man in the mirror any clearer than I do
And I can bring the pain if you wanna beef
One of us is gonna break, who's it gonna be?
Well, it ain't gonna be me
Ain't no way I'm accepting defeat
I won't stop 'til that reflection is me
You gotta be the change that you wanna see
Looking for someone to blame? Who's it gonna be?
Well, you could put it on me, 'cause nobody around here
Sees the man in the mirror any clearer than I do
And I can bring the pain if you wanna beef
One of us is gonna break, who's it gonna be?
Well, it ain't gonna be me
Ain't no way I'm accepting defeat
I won't stop 'til that reflection is me
