Hey yo nephew check this out man 
Now I know you got that bad chick right there 
You ain't even tripping off of her 
But she doing all of that for you 
She got this, she got that 
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 gotta be smart enough to know when to change 
Like Sam Cooke say change gon' come nephew 
And you better believe that 

As I look back on all that I've done to you 
My biggest regrets 
The things that I never could do 
I see the light now baby it's shining through 
Gotta give up the game 
Yeah I got some changin' to do 

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 missing 
Girl I swear I'ma handle my business 
Just like a real man should do 

I can change 
I can change (you know I can change baby) 
I can change 
For you (you know I can stop baby) 
I can change (you know I change baby) 
I can change 
I can change 
For you (you know I can stop baby) 

I'll give up all the places I used to go 
Stay out the club 
Stay home because I'm with you 
I'll 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) 

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 

I can change (you know I can change baby) 
I can change (know I can change baby) 
I can change 
For you 
I can change 
I can change 
I can change 
For you 

Take me to the river 
And baptize my soul 
I'm so outta control 
Needing 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 trying to figure out a way 
But 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 nothing to it 
If you need me to do it 
I guess' 

I can change 
I can change 
I can change 
For you (I'll give up on the pimpin' for you) 
I can change 
I can change 
I can change 
For you (sing it again y'all) 

I can change 
I can change 
I can change 
For you 
I can change 
I can change 
I can change 
For you 

You know I can stop baby 

Gotta believe me (you gotta believe me baby) 
Gotta believe me (yeah) 
I telling the truth 

You know I can stop baby 

Gotta believe me (believe me) 
Gotta believe me (believe me yeah) 
I'm telling the truth 

Get baptized if you want it 
This time I mean it 

Gotta believe me (this time I mean it) 
Gotta believe me 
I'm telling the truth
