[Verse 1: Macklemore]

I don't got time for meditation, nah

Don't got time to have a conversation with God

Don't got time for the congregation now, ah

I'ma put off liberation 'til tomorrow

Lord knows that I'm stuck in my ways

Out here expecting the rays

And do the same thing every day

Then expect it to change, yeah

[Chorus: Ben Abraham]

I used to say

I was never gonna change

But it rain

Water carry me away

Change

River is gonna run

Why am I afraid?

What am I hiding from?

[Verse 2: Macklemore]

Can't take in the church, if I don't show up

If I don't do my job, I don't get the bonus

Don't wanna appear weak, if I don't know some

Can't find self if I'm afraid to no one

Can't critique the world if I can't take a critique

Can't blame my neighborhood if I don't clean my own street

Can't blame the drugs if I put the drugs in me

Can't expect others to change if I don't change me

Lord knows I ain't perfect

But 'til I put the work in

Success isn't destined, it's determined

By what you sacrifice for your purpose

But what's the purpose?

But what's the purpose?

Until they close the curtain

Put the work in

[Chorus: Ben Abraham]

I used to say

I was never gonna change

But it rain

Water carry me away

Change

River is gonna run

Why am I afraid?

What am I hiding from?

[Chorus: Ben Abraham]

I used to say

I was never gonna change

But it rain

Water carry me away

Change

River is gonna run

Why am I afraid?

What am I hiding from?
