I've Changed

[LL Cool J]

Just starin at these four walls closin

In on me, feelin like time's frozen

Fadin in and out, noddin and dozin

Guilt tearin up my brain like erosion

What I did to you was wrong I admit it

I regret that I did it like a junkie when he's jonzin

All alone in what used to be a home

But you packed up our joy in that bag you put your clothes in

The voicemail that you left me was scoldin

Hot enough to burn a hole in a cauldron

Cause it was all true, that's why we all through

Now your girl's pickin up the cell when I call you

Talkin slick like she ain't here

She don't want you no more, punk disappear - click

I need to hit her with a brick

But that'll only lead me to a worse predicament

I hope your girlfriend ain't got you on a liquor binge

With her bitter attitude just cause she's sick of men

But I'ma keep on callin, fightin 'til the end

On my knees 'til they bleed, to prove my love again

[Chorus: Ryan Toby]

I sit in front of yo' crib in the pourin rain

Whylin out screamin yo' name

And keepin ringin yo' bell 'til you mad as hell

And call the po'-po', I ain't afraid (yeah, yeah)

You can get yo' folks and yo' cousins and them

And try to run me off yo' blocka (uh-huh)

But I ain't scared, I ain't goin nowhere

And I ain't stoppin 'til I gotcha

To show you I changed shawty

[LL Cool J]

I seen you at the movies with some tall cat

So I bust his headlights with a ball bat

When I was with you he would give me dap and all that

Now you in his arms in the mall, what you call that?

That's what I get for creepin and crawlin

Every other weekend gone until the mornin

Sneakin out to my dirt, dead wrong

Comin back past dawn with the guilty mask on

And I never counted the cost, took heed to warnings

Try to hurt a rose you get pricked by a thorn

And it don't feel nice, when you wake up nights

Shakin in cold sweats and your whole life's a wreck

That was the old me, the one I still regret

The one you couldn't respect, the one you should forget

But I'ma keep on callin, fightin 'til the end

On my knees 'til they bleed, to prove my love again

[Chorus]

[Ryan Toby] + (LL)

To show you I changed shawty

I really did change shawty (I'M TELLIN YOU I'VE CHANGED)

I wanna show you I changed shawty

(I STILL LOVE YOU!) {*cars peel*}

[LL Cool J]

I don't care if the cops got me surrounded

SWAT teams whatever, tell 'em to send the hounds in

My mind's in an altered state

Like I'm headed for a wall, top speed, foot off the brake

I make a fool of myself, girl whatever it takes

I already played the fool when I let you escape

You're as, good as it gets, your friendship your sex

Everything about you and yours connects

From your, beautiful smile to the scent of your skin

The sheets smell different, this is not livin

It feels like dyin, God knows I'm tryin

Ain't no sight sadder than a grown man cryin

Please find it in your heart to forgive me

Realize only God can convict me

We all make mistakes, so have you

If God show mercy on me, then you should too

[Chorus]

[Ryan Toby] + (LL)

To show you I changed shawty

I really did change shawty (I'M TELLIN YOU I'VE CHANGED)

I wanna show you I changed shawty

(I STILL LOVE YOU!) OWW!

(I'M TELLIN YOU I'VE CHANGED)
