Before you change the world ​eli. (USA)

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[Chorus]
Money and power may not be for me
'Cause I don't want to havе the responsibility
We all say wе 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've changed myself before I changed the world
