Lyrics & Translation
English
Hey yo nephew check this out man
Now I know you got that bad chick right there
You ain't even tripping off of her
But she doing all of that for you
She got this, she got that, man she's off the hizzle
I mean when you find one like that
You got to make that change man
'Cause they don't come too often
And when they do come
You gotta be smart enough to know when to change
Like Sam Cooke say, change gon' come nephew
And you better believe that
As I look back on all that I've done to you
My biggest regrets, the things that I never could do
I see the light now baby it's shining through
Gotta give up the game, yeah I got some changin' to do
I won't get high if you want it, get that straight
9 to 5 if you want it
Keep my ass home at night if you want it
Whatever you need me to do
When you talk I'mma listen
Give you all that attention you missin'
Girl I swear I'mma handle my business
Just like a real man should do
I can change, I can change (you know I can change baby)
I can change for you (you know I can stop baby)
I can change, (you know I change baby) I can change
I can change for you (you know I can stop baby)
I'll give up all the places I used to go
Stay out the club, stay home because I'm with you
I'll give up all those girls that I used to know
They don't compare, baby I swear it's the truth
(You know it's the truth baby)
So I'm through with the women
Yeah that's right, I give up on the pimpin'
Girl I'm gonna repent from my sinnin'
If that's what you want me to do
I'll get right if you want it
Go to church
Get baptized if you want it
Girl you opened my eyes and I'm gonna
Be much better for you
(Baby believe me, baby believe me)
I can change, I can change (you know I can change baby)
I can change for you (you know I can stop baby)
I can change, (you know I change baby) I can change
I can change for you (you know I can stop baby)
Take me to the river and baptize my soul
I'm so outta control, needing someone to hold
Man it's cold
I ain't been clubbin', drinkin', or smokin'
I'm focused, bowin' down every night prayin' and hopin'
I'm trying to figure out a way
But I just don't know how to say
But I'm rearranging', hopefully I'm changin'
And you can see that baby 'cause it's hard for me
Kinda sorta odd for me, but ain't nothing to it
If you need me to do it I guess
Yea, I'm willin' to make that change baby
I'm willin' to make that change
I mean, outta all the people in the word
Who would've thought that the big boss dog
Would be willin' to make that change?
Yea you special baby, you real special
You get in the pimp and leave this minks and his cat links and all that behind
All for you, nobody but you
I'm so serious about it, I can change
But only for you
Cause you the type of female, that, you know what I'm sayin'
You bring that out of a player
Make me wanna lay down the pippin' and step my love game up
Can ya dig that? Yea, on some Romeo and Juliet, ha ha
I can change baby, gimme the room
I can make your zoom zoom go boom boom!
This is legendary shit right here, baby
Gotta believe me (you gotta believe me baby)
Gotta believe me (mm yeah)
I'm telling the truth
Get baptized if you want it
This time I mean it
Gotta believe me (this time I mean it)
Gotta believe me
I'm telling the truth

I Can Change (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Oye, sobrino, mira esto, hombre
Ahora sé que tienes a esa chica mala ahí
Ni siquiera te estás volviendo loco por ella
Pero ella está haciendo todo eso por ti
Ella tiene esto, ella tiene aquello, hombre, ella es increíble
Quiero decir, cuando encuentras una así
Tienes que hacer ese cambio, hombre
Porque no aparecen muy a menudo
Y cuando sí aparecen
Tienes que ser lo suficientemente inteligente para saber cuándo cambiar
Como dice Sam Cooke, el cambio vendrá, sobrino
Y será mejor que lo creas
Mientras miro hacia atrás a todo lo que te he hecho
Mis mayores arrepentimientos, las cosas que nunca pude hacer
Ahora veo la luz, nena, está brillando
Tengo que dejar el juego, sí, tengo que cambiar algunas cosas
No me drogaré si quieres, que quede claro
De 9 a 5 si quieres
Mantendré mi trasero en casa por la noche si quieres
Lo que sea que necesites que haga
Cuando hables, voy a escuchar
Darte toda esa atención que extrañas
Chica, juro que me encargaré de mis asuntos
Justo como un hombre de verdad debería hacer
Puedo cambiar, puedo cambiar (sabes que puedo cambiar, nena)
Puedo cambiar por ti (sabes que puedo parar, nena)
Puedo cambiar, (sabes que cambio, nena) puedo cambiar
Puedo cambiar por ti (sabes que puedo parar, nena)
Dejaré todos los lugares a los que solía ir
No iré al club, me quedaré en casa porque estoy contigo
Dejaré a todas esas chicas que solía conocer
No se comparan, nena, juro que es la verdad
(Sabes que es la verdad, nena)
Así que he terminado con las mujeres
Sí, así es, renuncio al proxenetismo
Chica, voy a arrepentirme de mis pecados
Si eso es lo que quieres que haga
Me portaré bien si quieres
Ir a la iglesia
Bautizarme si quieres
Chica, me abriste los ojos y voy a
Ser mucho mejor para ti
(Nena, créeme, nena, créeme)
Puedo cambiar, puedo cambiar (sabes que puedo cambiar, nena)
Puedo cambiar por ti (sabes que puedo parar, nena)
Puedo cambiar, (sabes que cambio, nena) puedo cambiar
Puedo cambiar por ti (sabes que puedo parar, nena)
Llévame al río y bautiza mi alma
Estoy tan fuera de control, necesitando a alguien a quien abrazar
Hombre, hace frío
No he ido a clubes, ni he bebido, ni he fumado
Estoy enfocado, arrodillándome cada noche rezando y esperando
Estoy tratando de encontrar una manera
Pero simplemente no sé cómo decir
Pero me estoy reorganizando, espero estar cambiando
Y puedes ver eso, nena, porque es difícil para mí
Un poco extraño para mí, pero no hay nada que hacer
Si necesitas que lo haga, supongo
Sí, estoy dispuesto a hacer ese cambio, nena
Estoy dispuesto a hacer ese cambio
Quiero decir, de toda la gente en el mundo
¿Quién hubiera pensado que el gran jefe
Estaría dispuesto a hacer ese cambio?
Sí, eres especial, nena, eres muy especial
Tú haces que el proxeneta deje atrás estos visones y sus cadenas de gato y todo eso
Todo por ti, nadie más que tú
Estoy tan serio al respecto, puedo cambiar
Pero solo por ti
Porque eres el tipo de mujer que, sabes lo que digo
Tú sacas eso de un jugador
Me haces querer dejar el 'pippin'' y mejorar mi juego de amor
¿Lo entiendes? Sí, como Romeo y Julieta, ja ja
Puedo cambiar, nena, dame espacio
¡Puedo hacer que tu 'zoom zoom' haga 'boom boom'!
Esto es algo legendario aquí, nena
Tienes que creerme (tienes que creerme, nena)
Tienes que creerme (mm sí)
Estoy diciendo la verdad
Bautízate si quieres
Esta vez lo digo en serio
Tienes que creerme (esta vez lo digo en serio)
Tienes que creerme
Estoy diciendo la verdad
