It ain´t been the same, I done watched everyone change Whoever thought I would be rich, I was the one begging for change It ain´t been the same, I was down with no money
Now everybody starting to look at me funny It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same
Money and fame change 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 felt my nigga was leeching, I 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 playing with sticks while y´all was having 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 helping hand It´s a lot y´all don´t know, that´s just what y´all see I make mistakes in the past but I know my mama proud of me I took a lot off her plate, I put her mind at ease Keeping Trevon name alive, I told him rest in peace Like when we leave, I told my brother save a spot for me Got the world on my shoulders way I´m putting it all on me So many times wanted to give up, I hear ´em screaming please Open your eyes Kenyata, you got something to live for
It ain´t been the same, I done watched everyone change Whoever thought I would be rich, I was the one begging for change It ain´t been the same, I was down with no money Now everybody starting to look at me funny It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same
Looking at my cars, I really done came far Looking at my brand-new house, I come from living hard I was trapped in the dark, all my diamonds shining really hard Seen so much at an early age, now I´m traumatized and I´m scarred
All these nightmares, ain´t had a Carebear, I was clutching rods I was breaking into houses, y´all was playing football in the yard Y´all was in band class when was on the block with them guitars No, I ain´t choose to live this life, I sat back and played my card I got horror stores, I got some problems, they ignored me I been tryna wear this pain, just Dior me I did some things that weren´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 sack plenty times, a couple times I done fumbled 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 begging for change It ain´t been the same, I was down with no money Now everybody starting to look at me funny It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same It ain´t been the same, ooh, it ain´t been the same
