Ain't Ever Gonna Change

(Album: Southall - 2023)

We don't talk about nothing
Too busy waiting to die
You want a revolution
Until there's bombs in the sky
We don't talk about sleep
We don't do much at all
Lie awake waiting
On the stars to fall

Don't tell me my name, it don't mean a thing
And don't tell me my blood don't bleed the same
Don't stand in my way, I ain't gonna change
I ain't ever gonna change
Don't tell me my age, I got no shame
And don't tell me my eyes won't see the same
You can spit on my grave when it comes my day
I ain't ever gonna change

There's a silver lining
Between the hand and the gun
You got your mind on the trigger
You got your eyes on the run
Nobody said it'd be easy
Living down in a hole
When the shove starts pushing
When you lose all control

Don't tell me my name, it don't mean a thing
And don't tell me my blood don't bleed the same
Don't stand in my way, I ain't gonna change
I ain't ever gonna change
Don't tell me my age, I got no shame
And don't tell me my eyes won't see the same
You can spit on my grave when it comes my day
I ain't ever gonna change

It's a whole lot harder to lay off the throttle
Than it is to put that hammer down

Don't tell me my name, it don't mean a thing
And don't tell me my blood don't bleed the same
Don't stand in my way, I ain't gonna change
I ain't ever gonna change
Don't tell me my age, I got no shame
And don't tell me my eyes won't see the same
You can spit on my grave when it comes my day
I ain't ever gonna change

Don't tell me my name, it don't mean a thing
And don't tell me my blood don't bleed the same
Don't stand in my way, I ain't gonna change
I ain't ever gonna change
Don't tell me my age, I got no shame
And don't tell me my eyes won't see the same
You can spit on my grave when it comes my day
I ain't ever gonna change
