I got to change my way of living
You know that living in the city just ain't no good
Well, if I only had the money I move out of my neighbourhood (Refrain)

I got a lot of bad luck, and that don't help me much
I used to do it for a good time, but now I don't even have no fun
You can have 20 women and you can have yourself a time
Oh, but after 2 or 3 they make you loose your mind
I got to change my way of living...

Now when you try to be your business, all standing in a line
Oh, especially when're running, you haven't even got the time
Now when're wanna be alone, there be people all around
But when you feel the lonesome, nobody can be found
I got to change my way of living...

Now when you're driving in your car, be careful where you park
Cause you just might find it gone, if you leave it in the dark
Now, when I go to bed at night, I hear bullshots in my sleep
They're selling crack 'n' cocain halfway down my street
I got to change my way of living...
