I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

But these things don't ever change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

But these things don't ever change now

And I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

I ain't got no time for this **** out here man they really be on some childish shit

Only got love for my queen, don't fuck with these bitches, cause bitches be trifling

Anyone who wanna throw shade, tryna come back now, they think that I forget

But I've been on the grind, so understand that you can't stop this shit

It's been driving crazy, I understand that I'm all alone, ain't nobody here gon' save me

My momma's saying prayers to the Lord, saying watch over her baby

I rose from the gutter, came up from nothing, so can't shit faze me

So **** don't play me, cause I gotta get home

Everybody wanna pop their shit, but my ****, yo, please don't go there

Really from the gutter, where we really had to struggle, couldn't found no hope there, no where

I've been stuck down bad on the ground, man, I really had to fix myself

Every change that came in my life, man, I really did this shit myself

I've been trying to make a change, I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change, but these things don't ever change

I've been trying to make a change, I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change, but these things don't ever change

**** saying I've changed now, look at me in my face, tell me, yo, I changed how

Forty still might blow your brains out, everybody took the same route

Gutter Rose, finally got to blossom, you know I never take the safe route

Bands, stacking in a safe now, heard they tryna' ride the wave now

And I've been trying to make a change, I've been trying to make a change

I've been trying to make a change

And I've been trying to make a change, I've been trying to make change

I've been trying to make a change

Yeah, my life is full of pain, every moment, every hour

But the sun comes up after every stormy shower

I learned to be a man

No, I never was a coward, throw the roses by my feet

You see the blood on all these flowers

I had to blossom through the rain

I had to blossom through the pain

I had to blossom through the rain

I had to blossom through the pain

I had to blossom through the rain

I had to blossom through the pain

Through the pain
