“Can’t Make U Change” by JID (ft. Ari Lennox) is a lament about the difficulty of changing oneself or others. The first part of the song (Part I) features Ari Lennox singing and JID rapping about how hard it is to make someone change, especially if they are stuck in their ways. The lyrics suggest that the speaker has been trying to make someone change, but their efforts have been unsuccessful. JID reflects on his stubbornness and how difficult it is to grow and change. Ari Lennox’s vocals provide a counterpoint, expressing her desperation to keep the person in her life and her willingness to change for them.

The second part of the song (Part II) is a continuation of JID’s reflections on change. He talks about his struggles with his own nature and his desire to be a better man. He also touches on the topic of infidelity and the difficulties of maintaining a relationship. Overall, the song is a complex exploration of the challenges of change, both personal and interpersonal.
