can't stay the same

there i was a lost soul

stirrin in the kitchen

standing at a crossroads

blurring in my vision

nine inside my right hand

brimming with ambition

yayo in my system

if you living how i'm living

and you were in my condition

full of this conviction

key in the ignition

engine purrin' like a kitten

on the road to perdition

with a mission for the gold

cause i'm owed what i'm missing

i don't listen what i'm told

but i was served well by my hard head

stayed consumed with this hunger

till i got fed

hot head

me against the world

like what pac said

had couple brushes with the reaper

i was not dead

if your money's on the underdog

you sticking with me

the money's quicker

and the liquor is free

too brash to see it was cyclical see

with all the minions on my dick

ahhh despicable me

i thought this was a life i'd never give up

through the hell fire even the heaven above

but i know now change is inevitable

and we can't stay the same forever my love

no we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

nah we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

we can't stay the same forever

i'm on a new plane now

i think it's time to change the weather

there are no teachers better than pain

the agony of loss and betrayal

i consider the same

waking up riddled with jitters

trying to fit into fame

spit in the rain wash away a past

that's littered with shame

i lost my way to wrath

lust and pride

and felt justified in this anger

stuff inside a broken heart

that must've died

a hustlers eyes

that i see the game with

chaos i came with plus the vi-

olence but hey i must survive

busted ties - back stabbers

with disgusting lies

odds stacked against me high

i try to touch the skies

a chipped shoulder

and a mean streak

days i got zip sober

nada clean week and everything's bleak

i guess i needed something

that was greater than

the passion of the infidels

the haters and the fate of them

the envy of my enemies

no i am not afraid of them

had my back against the wall

and y'all seen what i was made of then

i thought this was a life i'd never give up

through the hell fire even the heaven above

but i know now change is inevitable

and we can't stay the same forever my love

no we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

nah we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

we can't stay the same forever

i'm on a new plane now

i think it's time to change the weather

i was told never change

and i tried my best

to keep my head high

and hide my stress

but if i never change and don't grow

then what if i digress

i gotta follow what's inside my chest

my heart's been filled

with the memories

the joy and pain with ups and downs

enough to drive your boy insane

we done killed all our enemies

by living these dreams

still alive to tell

the stories of this poison game

them toys that bang

the powder that destroys the brain

disregarded in the garbage

with the noise of fame

but i've had it with the bullshit

i ain't trying to hear it

i just needed time

to redefined the spirit

redesign the focus and path

make sure the hope is in tact

too many years mine

broken in half but

i'm done with everything else

and gone from that king zone

i gotta stay fly

like an angel with his wings on

i thought this was a life i'd never give up

through the hell fire even the heaven above

but i know now change is inevitable

and we can't stay the same forever my love

no we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

nah we can't stay the same forever uh-uh

we can't stay the same forever

i'm on a new plane now

i think it's time to change the weather
