Ain't Been The Same
It ain't been the same
I done watched everyone change
Whoever thought I would be rich
I was the one beggin' for change
It ain't been the same
I was down with no money
Now everybody startin' to look at me funny
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
Money and fame changed everyone around me
I was broke and bummy when they all used to clown me
The industry fake so keep that fake love from 'round me
I figured out my nigga was leachin'
They had to keep that boy from 'round me
We had a beat up ass car, mama drove us in a minivan
I was a jit playin' with sticks while y'all were havin' fun in the sand
Grew up in the trenches I had it hard I swear that y'all don't understand
Bitch, I had to get it how I live, nobody gave a helpin' hand
It's a lot y'all don't know, y'all judge what y'all see
I made mistakes in the past but I know my mama proud of me
I took a lot off her plate and I put it on mine to eat
Keepin' Treyvon name alive, I told him rest in peace
Like when we're little I told my brother save a spot for me
Got the world on my shoulders, why y'all puttin' it all on me?
So many times, wanna give up, I hear him screamin', "Please!"
Open your eyes Keyanta, you got somethin' to live for
It ain't been the same
I done watched everyone change (everyone changed)
Whoever thought I would be rich (whoever though)
I was the one beggin' for change
It ain't been the same (whoa)
I was down with no money
Now everybody startin' to look at me funny (look at me funny)
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
Lookin' at my cars I really done came far
Lookin' at my brand new house I come from livin' hard
I was trapped in the dark all my diamonds shine really hard
Seen so much at a early age now I'm traumatized and I'm scarred
All these nightmares I ain't have a Care Bear, I was clutchin' rods
I was breakin' into houses, y'all were playin' football in the yard
Y'all was in band class when I was swingin' the block with them guitars
No, I ain't choose to live this life I sat back and played my cards
I got horrible stories
I got some problems they annoy me
I been tryin' to wear this pain just Dior me
I did some things that wasn't possible, ayy
Made it out the hood where I come from that's impossible
Yeah, street-born hunter
I turn the opps into runners
I had that set plenty times, a couple times I done fumbled it
Get out my shit and I recovered it
You ever heard your heart beat fast with two hands you had to cover it?
It ain't been the same
I done watched everyone change
Whoever thought I would be rich
I was the one beggin' for change (I was the one beggin' for change)
It ain't been the same
I was down with no money
Now everybody startin' to look at me funny (they lookin' at me funny)
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
It ain't been the same
Oh, it ain't been the same (it ain't been the same)
It ain't been the same
It ain't been the same
It ain't been the same
