I Can Change

Hmm...

[Snoop talking]

Hey yo nephew check this out man

Now I know you got that bad chick right there

You aint 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

Cuz 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

9 to 5 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

[Snoop's Rap]

Take me to the river

And baptize my soul

I'm so outta control

Needing someone to hold

Man it's cold

I aint 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 cuz it's hard for me

Kinda sorta odd for me

But aint 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 (mmm 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
