Change Lyrics Translation by Fireboy DML

Verse 1

My life dey make more sense as I get older (My life is making more sense as I grow older.)

Wake up in the morning, do some yoga

Now, I’m number one, I’m going global

And, I no go stop until it’s over (And, I won’t stop till it’s over.)

You see, my cup runneth over

Na why you no fit ever see me sober (sober) (That’s why you can never see me sober.)

If life na war then I be soldier (If life is war, then, I am a soldier.)

I’m fighting on until it’s over

Chorus

See my life’s about to change (change)

But, I feel some type of way (way, way eh)

Everyone around me keeps asking me the same

“Are you ready for the pain?”

‘Cause my life’s about to change

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh

My life’s about to change

(Yo Eskeez kill the rhythm and burst it)

Verse 2

Step inna the room and I got everybody smiling

Don’t know if they like me for my person or my talent (or my talent)

Most times, I feel like I be suffering but I’m silent (silent)

It’s kinda hard to deal with pressure but I’m trying (I’m trying)

Different women in my DMs, it’s a challenge (challenge)

E no go cost me anything to reply them (‘ply them) (It won’t cost me anything to reply them)

But, blame it on the game, my guy, it made me savage

Kinda made my feelings fly away

Co’ ‘Co’ Comment tu t’appelle? (What is your name?)

 DIA on my neck (woah)

 Pull up in my Range

 Or we pull up in my Benz

 Whole lotta b#tches and a whole lotta friends

 Whole lotta struggles, now, makes whole lotta sense

 S-x and cannabis

 Tryna find my peace

 I can never miss

 I got friends and enemies

 And a whole lotta Gees

 Praying not to see me fall

 I’ve been on the high road

 And I’ve seen it all

Chorus

But, my life’s about to change (oh oh, oh oh oh)

And, I feel some type of way (way, way)

Everyone around me keeps asking me the same

“Are you ready for the pain?”

‘Cause my life’s about to change

Outro

My life’s about to Change

But, I feel some type of way, Oh-oh, change, change

Everyone around me keeps asking me the same

“Are you ready for the pain?”

My life’s about to change
