He had a change of heart, and decided to take apart
The pieces of his life and slowly make a start
On reconstructing his entire existence
He knew the transformation would require persistence
Stuck in the tunnel and can see a tiny speck of light
But the one that's burning inside him would be forever bright
Enough to light the way, regardless of the time of day
There was a time his mind would say
To shy away and hibernate
As a teenager, when he wasn't being used
He was in the background just like a screensaver
So the challenge was to be braver
But it threw up many obstacles
Not least his behaviour
Easily led and easily fed lies
This ground was unwise to illegally tread
He would have to face the storms and baron land
Without a clear sense of direction because he hadn't planned
I'm making changes
And trading places
I'm changing faces
Replacing James's
The map he was following
Was nearly as messy and mixed up as the tabs he was swallowing
No begging no borrowing
Just stealing, thieving and plenty of soul hollowing
Decimating his inner self before its discovery
Luckily that would return on his recovery
Until that point well it was learning the hard way
And singing to the tune of crack music like Kanye
Moved to class A from recreational
You lose your personality, it's irreplaceable
But watch it strip you of your character
And encourage the output of nastiness inside you like a catheter
But it was something that destiny had given him
Delivering trials to make him stronger it wasn't killing him
Instead it stood him in good stead for the discipline
Required to become something inspired and riveting
I'm making changes
And trading places
I'm changing faces
Replacing James's
