[Intro]
Can I talk to you?

[Verse 1]
Pain, I know that I cause you some pain
And baby I know it's a shame
The games, the strain
Love, girl all you had for me was love
And I ran your love in the mud
No hugs and what, what, what
What was I thinking?

[Pre-Chorus]
It hit me like a flash of light
I realize you are my life
And I really love you (I love you baby)
Yes I do, yes I do

[Chorus]
I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good
I've changed
Like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed
[Verse 2]
Life, I'm willing to lay down my life
Baby won't you be my wife?
Except this ring tonight
Now I was a blind man who spent his whole life in the dark
No trees, no bees, no Central Park
And I realize the love in my eyes
You're the perfect work of art, lady

[Pre-Chorus]
It hit me like a flash of light
I realize you are my life
And I really love you (I love you baby)
Yes I do, yes I do

[Chorus]
I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good


Like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed
[Bridge]
The risk of losing you has caused my transformation
My rehabilitation, dedication, inspiration
Girl I'm brand new
Listen clearly baby
I'm willing to show you
The little things I meant to do
Before I never took the time to do
(I wanna love you)

[Chorus]
I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good
Like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed

I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good
Like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed
I've changed like an 80's fade to the corn-rows
To the White House from death-row
Projects to Hollywood
A pimp to a minister, from bad to good
Like a poor excuse to a true friend
I'm a brand new start from a dead end
Like a guilty man turned innocent
Baby I've changed

[Outro]
I'ma changed man
I'ma changed man
I'ma changed man
I'ma changed man
I'ma changed man
I swear right now, baby
