Everything's changing around me 
and I want to change too 
It's one thing I know 
It ain't cool being no fool 
I feel different today 
I don't know what else to say 
But imma get my [bad word] together 
It's now or never 

[Black Thought] 
I'm sick, sick of waiting in vain, tired of playing the game 
Thinking of making a change, finally breaking the chains 
Every phase, every happening ?craze? 
When it's said and done, my head is right back in a haze 
I'm ready for the next chapter and page to start acting my age 
and part ways with Black Thought from back in the days 
I'm stargazing from the back of the stage  [bad word] in the ??york craze it's worthy of praise 
Was the phrase "bygones is bygones" 
Niggas who used to be the underdogs is icons 
People say the light shines once in a lifetime 
Is this meant like ?? or price just a little bit like mine 
I'm thinking not now, but right now 
I need some kinda sign that the future is bright now 
I [bad word] around, do the right thing like Spike now 
The quick in the day, which one is my lookalike now 
I'm moving and hey 

[Phonte] 
Yo, opportunities lost because I blew them 
On the sunniest days of my life I cry through them 
Mom's out the picture and Pops, I barely knew him 
And I would pray to God but I'm tired of lying to him 
Tired of trying [bad word] from the things inside of us 
Got a lot of fam, and a lot of admirers 
Who tell me that I should aspire to be changed 
But when I think of changing, it's like why do you try this [bad word] 
My mind hazy and my thoughts, they get distorted 
I know my good and bad deeds both get recorded 
You do right so your soul can last 
But my role is cast before I even audition for it 
So I don't really see an end to my vice 
It's just false reformation, no end of my strife 
Feel the evil overpowering, you can go ahead throw the towel in 
'Cause [bad word]  that's the end of the fight 
When you can only see the tunnel at the end of the light 
Like South party, oh that's the end of your life 
and a mountain 

[Dice Raw] 
When I look into the mirror, and see my own image 
I feel like there's something else far in the distance 
Something I wanna see, but something that's resistant 
And everyday the heartin' is growing more persistent 
I never noticed it before, but now I can't miss it 
And the constant pounding is driving me ballistic 
I ran from it few years, but it's still next to me 
And it's growing stronger, taking even less of me 
I can't fight it now, I know it's just destiny 
And I just wonder what's gonna happen when it catches me 
Will it leave me face down, and a ??? 
Or will it just start bringing out the best in me 
But is the best in me really just the worst in me 
And if so, yesterday could be my anniversary 
And sinners court, is it important to have church with me 
I'm trying to get rid of these ghosts that's cursing me 
I feeling change is an absolute certainty 
'Cause [bad word] on is a state of emergency
