Transformative Reflections: Embracing Change and Integrity
Lyrics
I don't take it for granted
I don't take things for granted.
I got a good spirit inside me
I have a positive and virtuous inner self.
But sometimes it does get cloudy
At times, my clarity falters.
Need some common sense around me
I seek common sense in my surroundings.
I know
Acknowledging a self-awareness.
That sometimes I can be flighty
I admit to being occasionally impulsive.
But I'm working on it nightly
I am actively addressing and improving myself nightly.
I just hope that I can say I've grown
I aspire to grow and develop.
I'll paint a picture of a cellar door
Metaphorically describing a hidden aspect of oneself.
And obfuscate the references
Deliberately obscure references for increased value.
On purpose so it sells for more
Intentional actions to enhance market appeal.
What can I say, I'm workin' on it
Acknowledging personal growth efforts.
But it's like my psyche's haunted
Dealing with psychological challenges.
I'll just leave it all on the floor
Expressing vulnerability and openness.
I'll be the change
Commitment to positive change.
You'll be the change
Encouraging others to embrace change.
I'll be the change
Reiteration of the commitment to change.
I don't take it for granted
Reaffirming not taking things for granted.
This life is longer than I thought it'd be
Reflecting on the length and complexity of life.
It's gone from simply gathering age now
Transitioning from mere aging to seeking quality.
To finding quality
Being selective about where to invest time.
Don't waste my time on those that bother me
Avoiding troublesome individuals.
The ones that's prolly robbing peeps
Identifying those likely engaging in dishonesty.
That got problems with honesty
Rejecting unnecessary complications.
Don't make this harder than it has be
Advocating for simplicity and honesty.
Drop the nasty passes, please
A call to stop unpleasant actions.
And come split this carafe with me
Inviting companionship and shared experiences.
We can drink to our health
Celebrating well-being and independence.
And how we don't need anyone else
Valuing self-sufficiency and independence.
I'm gon' be good to everyone that I see
Commitment to treating everyone well.
Because I just can't help but be
Innate inclination to be helpful.
And when it comes back around
Anticipating positive outcomes in return.
Ain't gonna catch me with my damn hand out
Avoiding being taken advantage of.
Cuz I'll be busy helpin' my man out
Focusing on assisting others.
I want my reputation to precede me
Desire for a positive reputation.
So that when these people see me
Wishing to be recognized positively by others.
Know the hard part just got easy
Making difficult tasks seem effortless.
I want to fill every role, all the time
Aspiring to fulfill various roles consistently.
Keep the ones I love close to heart, close to mind
Valuing close relationships and mindfulness.
I'll be the change
Reiteration of commitment to positive change.
You'll be the change
Encouraging others to participate in change.
I'll be the change
Reaffirming personal commitment to change.
I'll be the change
Continued commitment to being a positive force.
You'll be the change
Encouraging others to be agents of change.
I'll be the change
Restating personal dedication to positive transformation.
