I've Changed

Just starin' at these four walls closin'

In on me, feelin' like time's frozen

Fadin' in and out, noddin' and dozin'

Guilt tearin' up my brain like erosion

What I did to you was wrong, I admit it

I regret that I did it like a junkie when he's jonzin'

All alone in what used to be a home

But you packed up our joy in that bag you put your clothes in

The voice mail that you left me was scoldin'

Hot enough to burn a hole in a cauldron

'Cause it was all true, that's why we all through

Now your girl's pickin' up the cell when I call you

Talkin' slick like she ain't here

She don't want you no more, punk disappear, click

I need to hit her with a brick

But that'll only lead me to a worse predicament

I hope your girlfriend ain't got you on a liquor binge

With her bitter attitude just 'cause she's sick of men

But I'ma keep on callin', fightin' 'til the end

On my knees 'til they bleed, to prove my love again

I sit in front of yo' crib in the pourin' rain

Whylin' out screamin' yo' name

And keepin' ringin' yo' bell 'til you mad as hell

And call the po'-po', I ain't afraid

(Yeah, yeah)

You can get yo' folks and yo' cousins and them

And try to run me off yo' blocka

But I ain't scared, I ain't goin' nowhere

And I ain't stoppin' 'til I gotcha to show you I changed shawty

I seen you at the movies with some tall cat

So I bust his headlights with a ball bat

When I was with you he would give me dap and all that

Now you in his arms in the mall, what you call that?

That's what I get for creepin' and crawlin'

Every other weekend gone until the mornin'

Sneakin' out to my dirt, dead wrong

Comin' back past dawn with the guilty mask on

And I never counted the cost, took heed to warnings

Try to hurt a rose you get pricked by a thorn

And it don't feel nice, when you wake up nights

Shakin' in cold sweats and your whole life's a wreck

That was the old me, the one I still regret

The one you couldn't respect, the one you should forget

But I'ma keep on callin', fightin' 'til the end

On my knees 'til they bleed, to prove my love again

I sit in front of yo' crib in the pourin' rain

Whylin' out screamin' yo' name

And keepin' ringin' yo' bell 'til you mad as hell

And call the po'-po', I ain't afraid

(Yeah, yeah)

You can get yo' folks and yo' cousins and them

And try to run me off yo' blocka

But I ain't scared, I ain't goin' nowhere

And I ain't stoppin' 'til I gotcha to show you I changed shawty

To show you I changed shawty
