You gotta talk to niggas in the language they can understand
It's crazy I got Al up this late, ha
Ayo, some shit you ain't gon' never change, so don't worry 'bout it
It's the way it always been
Real shit though
Yo, word to every block in my city, they heard I got it
And my track record certainly show I deserve the homage (uh)
And they refer to my shit like Malcolm X, words of knowledge
Cookin' coke, burnin' product was only a learnin' process (had to learn)
Steppin' on a brick of fentanyl 'fore you heard about it (me)
And my phone used to ring so much you get nervous 'round me (me)
Cut ties with the game, the same shit that certified me
All my clientele gone, miss the customer service by me
Yeah, they just like me, all my pie flippers
Ties to Virginia like Teddy Riley, since rap I been treadin' lighty (uh-huh)
They mad I'm back rappin' 'bout dope again, never mind me (fuck it)
The pressure from my pen made them rap a lil' better, finally
They crooked, bendin' the rules, rappers I considered 'em cool
But when you talkin' most authentic, then who gon' fit in my shoes? (Who?)
I'm livin' my truth, sky is the only limit I knew
From drug dealin' to music, I mean, what didn't I do? (What?)
Who didn't I put on? Took Ls and then I regroup (I regroup)
On a shoestring budget, I showed them what I could do (yeah)
Ask Jake and ask Cap 'bout the bosses that I produced
I'm West best investment, but that's between me and you, ah
Always been that way (that's how it always been)
Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change
Just gonna continue straight ahead
And that's the one thing that's never gonna change
The way things have always been
Had to quit blazin' cigarettes (uh-huh)
Was two-timin' my dame, I'm a bigamist
But the gang half of the blame, I live with regret (yeah)
My brain a bit of a wreck
All this stress and strain left it disconnect (whoa)
Cheffin' up all the 'caine in that kitchenette (skrrt)
Acquainted with big as X who filthied up my name just to split a check (whatever)
Feel like I been betrayed by my silhouette (yeah), mistakes was made to correct
How I deal with the fame made me get upset (ayy)
Treated the same way that I lived with death, shit weighin' a nigga down
Refrainin' from different stages of self-neglect
Give me chills in my veins, takin' whatever's left (whoa, cold)
From everything that was tooken in blatant disrespect
For good, better, best, wouldn't trade it for less (whatever)
Took everything that came with it, and that came with a check (big money)
But yet and still a nigga rich off pain and depressed
Chasin' a letterhead, ain't got a case to catch
David Blaine with the press, tame the dog and made it fetch
What else?
Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change
It's been goin' on since the beginning of time
And that's the one thing that's never gonna change
The way things have always been
