Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too

Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool

I feel different today I dont know what else to say

But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never

Now or never now or never

Now or never now or never

Uh Im sick sick of waiting in vain tired of playing the game

Thinking of making a change finally breaking the chains

Every phase every happening craze

When its said and done my head is right back in the haze

Im ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age

And part ways with Black Thought from back in the days

I‘m stargazing from the back of the stage

Questioning if who yall praise is worthy of praise

Whats the phrase Bygones is bygones

Niggaz who used to be the underdog is icons

People say the light shines once in a lifetime

Is this meant like kind or crisis a little bit like mine

Im thinking not now but right now

I need some kind of sign that the future is bright now

I f**k around Do The Right Thing like Spike now

The quick and the dead which one is my lookalike now

Im moving ahead

Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too

Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool

I feel different today I dont know what else to say

But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never

Now or never now or never

Now or never now or never

Yo opportunities lost because I blew em

On the sunniest days of my life I cried through em

Moms is out the picture and Pops I barely knew him

And I would pray to God but Im tired of lying to Him

Tired of trying to run from the things inside of us

Got a lot of fam and a lot of admirers

Who tell me that I should aspire to change

But when I think of changing

Its like why even try this sh*t

My mind hazy and my thoughts they get distorted

I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded

You do right so your soul can last

But my role was cast before I even auditioned for it

So I dont really see an end to my vice

Its just false reformation no end to my strife

Feel the evil overpowering

You can go head throw the towel in

Cause ni**a thats the end of the fight

When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the lights

Like South party over its the end of your life

And Im out

Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too

Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool

I feel different today I dont know what else to say

But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never

Now or never now or never

Now or never now or never

When I look into the mirror and see my own image

It feel like theres something else far off in the distance

Something I wanna see but something thats resistant

And everyday the heart it in is growing more persistent

I never noticed it before but now I cant miss it

And the constant poundings driving me ballistic

I ran from it few years but its still next to me

And its growing stronger taking leaving less of me

I cant fight it now I know its just destiny

And I just wonder whats gonna happen when it catches me

Will it leave me face down in a chest of pee

Or will it just start bringing out the best of me

But is the best of me really just the worst of me

And if so yesterday could be my anniversary

In sinners court its important to have church with me

Im trying to get rid of these ghosts thats cursing me

I feel a change is an absolute certainty

Cause whats going on is a state of emergency

(State of emergency)

Everythings changing around me and I wanna change too

Its one thing I know it aint cool being no fool

I feel different today I dont know what else to say

But Ima get my sh*t together its now or never

Its now or never
