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
