[Intro]

Can I talk to you?

[Verse 1]

Pain, I know that I cause you some pain

And baby I know it's a shame

The games, the strain

Love, girl all you had for me was love

And I ran your love in the mud

No hugs and what, what, what

What was I thinking?

[Pre-Chorus]

It hit me like a flash of light

I realize you are my life

And I really love you (I love you baby)

Yes I do, yes I do

[Chorus]

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows

To the White House from death-row

Projects to Hollywood

A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

I've changed

Like a poor excuse to a true friend

I'm a brand new start from a dead end

Like a guilty man turned innocent

Baby I've changed

[Verse 2]

Life, I'm willing to lay down my life

Baby won't you be my wife?

Except this ring tonight

Now I was a blind man who spent his whole life in the dark

No trees, no bees, no Central Park

And I realize the love in my eyes

You're the perfect work of art, lady

[Pre-Chorus]

It hit me like a flash of light

I realize you are my life

And I really love you (I love you baby)

Yes I do, yes I do

[Chorus]

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows

To the White House from death-row

Projects to Hollywood

A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

Like a poor excuse to a true friend

I'm a brand new start from a dead end

Like a guilty man turned innocent

Baby I've changed

[Bridge]

The risk of losing you has caused my transformation

My rehabilitation, dedication, inspiration

Girl I'm brand new

Listen clearly baby

I'm willing to show you

The little things I meant to do

Before I never took the time to do

(I wanna love you)

[Chorus]

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows

To the White House from death-row

Projects to Hollywood

A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

Like a poor excuse to a true friend

I'm a brand new start from a dead end

Like a guilty man turned innocent

Baby I've changed

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows

To the White House from death-row

Projects to Hollywood

A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

Like a poor excuse to a true friend

I'm a brand new start from a dead end

Like a guilty man turned innocent

Baby I've changed

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows

To the White House from death-row

Projects to Hollywood

A pimp to a minister, from bad to good

Like a poor excuse to a true friend

I'm a brand new start from a dead end

Like a guilty man turned innocent

Baby I've changed

[Outro]

I'ma changed man

I'ma changed man

I'ma changed man

I'ma changed man

I'ma changed man

I swear right now, baby
