Story behind the song
Tired of going through the motions on peoples personalities.
Lyrics
You can’t change people A friend gave me such a revelation just the other day Now I realize people are so set in their ways No one but God can make someone reform Altering someone is like changing the course of a storm Futile, useless, hopeless man you dealing with made minds No longer I want to waste my time, it’s like talking to a mime A vivid scene to the blind and a song to the deaf Apathy comes when interest left and you’re sick of wasting your breath People’s personality’s runs to the depths The bowels of inner feelings that’s bottled up and kept That’s why in our relationships so many things are bereft Lacking, missing, barren, and desolate and you try to fill it out I am so expressive but I can’t expect her to spill it out Maybe she’s not ready maybe she has to come around on her own I can deal with the way she is or just leave her alone It is what it is whenever this thing began I think to myself can someone really change who I am? Man because in the beginning we put on that front Play that role until we all get what we want Back to the point, women don’t think you’re gonna change that man If I’m a whore and a thug well that’s who I am No one is going to change me but me myself and I So don’t even try wave your efforts goodbye Really think you gonna stop that junkie from continuing to get high? You really think you have the key to unlock that set mind? Open your eyes and I have yet to find Someone who converts who they are from what you said My quest for making my girl into what I want her to be has fled She’s her own person had her own struggles had her own hurting My persistence to mold her and shape her just aint working So now I embrace the pluses and don’t focus on the flaws You can’t change people; they just are who they are.
