Akon – Changed Man Lyrics

R&B

Lockdown Experience Vol. 2
La-la-la-lockdown
La-la-la-lockdown

All the shit I done in the past
Don't blame it on my mother or dad
Blame it on the gutter, all the trouble I had
Stuck on the ave, lost soul looking for something to grab
I probably get a gun and blast, just for a hundred in cash
The lack of a budget or salary
Had me with a fucking mentality
Shit is sad, but I fucked up reality
Look, for every time I mistreated my moms
I reach for God 'til I bleed from my palms
But don't receive a response
Maybe I should read the Qur'an
Maybe I should leave it alone
Who knows, but I preach to the corner
I speak for my people in hunger
So I can't leave the streets and disown 'em
I gotta keep on and reach 'em
'Cause I beat where they beat from
Where they breathe through weak lungs and eat crumbs
These slums, and I'm teaching each one with each rhyme
Now the reason is you see I'm

I'm repenting for the evil things I've done to men
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man
Repenting for the way that I treated women
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man

Late night in the ghetto, papa wasn't there
He would pop up in my ear, but I just never cared
'Cause I was over here blaming God, heat in the coldest air
Raining shots 'cause he ignored a prayer
I hopped the fence in the popular sense
They thought I'd probably be locked and boxed up in the pen
Sipping vodka, getting bent, one day I gripped a pen
I knew I could repent when I read Malcolm was a pimp
For cheddar I blammed, I yearned for the cash, but
A much better man would learn from his past
But the pain won't go away, I know it stays
And it weighs, there's chips heavy on my shoulder blades
Though there's days I sit back and I'm so amazed
My life changed, when trife things and strife came, I write pain
So my aim, though I got conned, no pop song
I'm in top form, just here on a platform

I'm repenting for the evil things I've done to men
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man
Repenting for the way that I treated women
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man

If the streets are watching
Well, then the clouds are listening
And everything in between must be deaf and blind
'Cause we are still not listening
If the streets are watching
Well, then the clouds are listening
And everything in between must be deaf and blind
'Cause we are still not listening

I'm repenting for the evil things I've done to men
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man
Repenting for the way that I treated women
Just let me live my life again
And I apologize to them
I'm a changed man

Yes, I'm a changed man
Yes, I'm a changed man
I'll never let myself go through life without repenting
Yes, I'm a changed man
I done told you I changed, fam
So don't let yourself go through life without repenting
Changing
