Jide-Kun - Reflect & Change Lyrics

I got so little time
But a lot on my plate
My mind, just like the Dakotas
We divided them states
See, the higher me want to people please
But my lower self don't need the help
The reason well
It don't matter
It don't, It don't... Please
I don't want
I don't want money
I want the people to love me
They gonna judge me
I need to swallow my pride
Washing it down with the bubbly
Two steps and I regress
Bend truth as a reflex
I've always been well read
But that doesn't bring respect
So I reflect

On my past nigga
I don't act different, I just act me
But common sense really ain't free
So I need the change that the seasons bring
And I tried to use a little forsight
But it don't matter like a Black life
Taking advice, but I add vice
Now I add villains, cause the pain killing
And I need healing, something spiritual
But I'm lacking far as spirit goes
Motivation just a fleeting feeling
So my ultimatum is to let it go
Let go of my old self
Reflect, then move forth
Let go of my lost faith
Need God's grace, I fall short

Cause I
Got so little time
But a lot on my plate
My mind, just like the Dakotas
We divided them states
See, the higher me want to people please
But my lower self don't need the help
The reason well
It don't matter
It don't, it don't... Please
I don't want
I don't want money
I want the people to love me
They gonna judge me
I need to swallow my pride
Washing it down with the bubbly
Meditate on my old ways
Burn thoughts full of disdain
Try to maintain but it's in vain
Cause one question remains
Can I change?
