before you change the world - eli.

I’m getting back to my roots

I’m getting introspective

I took a year off of thought

It changes your perspective

Cause I don’t wanna think about the shit that makes me wanna end up dead

I’m getting out of my groove

It’s getting harder to see

How I’m supposed to live up

To who I know I can be

Yeah, I don’t wanna think about the person I know I have to become

I’ll save it for later

Cause I’m young and free

Living for me

Say what you will but I don’t wanna be who I am sometimes

I just want a simple life

Money and power may not be for me

Cause I don’t want to have the responsibility

We all say we want change without changing our ways

So maybe change yourself before you change the world

Money and power came quite easily

When my life was a mess, back when I was a teen

I said I wanted change without changing my ways

I should have changed myself before I changed the world

Change yourself before you change the world

Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world

I think I’m losing my touch

I got too comfortable

Living the life that I feel

Like maybe I don’t deserve

And I can’t set any goals

Cause there is nothing to top for me

I haven’t written my stress

I just don’t know what to say

I feel like I can’t express

Shit in a negative way

Cause I’m so fortunate to have it all

Everything I want and more

Cause I’m young and free

Living for me

Say what you will but I don’t wanna be who I am sometimes

I just want a simple life

Money and power may not be for me

Cause I don’t want to have the responsibility

We all say we want change without changing our ways

So maybe change yourself before you change the world

Money and power came quite easily

When my life was a mess, back when I was a teen

I said I wanted change without changing my ways

I should have changed myself before I changed the world

Change yourself before you change the world

Yeah, you should change yourself before you change the world
