Can't Stay The Same

(album: One Day - 2019)

(Can't stay the same forever
Can't stay the same forever my love
Can't stay the same
Can't stay the same forever...)

There I was, a lost soul stirring in the kitchen
Standing at the 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 purring like a kitten
On the road to perdition, on a mission for the gold
I'm owed what I'm missing, I don't listen what I'm told
But I was served well by that hard head
Stayed consumed with that hunger 'til I got fed
Hothead
Me against the world, like what Pac said
Had a couple brushes with the reaper
I was not dead
If your money's on the underdog, you're sticking with me
The money's quicker and the liquor is free
Too brash to see it cyclical, see
Plus, I got these minions on my dick
Huh, despicable me

I thought this was a life I'd never give up
Through the hellfire even the heaven above
But I know now change is inevitable
And we can't stay the same forever my love

Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh
Nah, we can't stay the same forever, 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
Lost my way to wrath
Lust and Pride
Felt justified in this anger
Stuffed inside a broken heart that must've died
A hustlers eyes that I see the game with
Chaos I came with plus the violence, but hey, I must survive
Busted ties, backstabbers 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
Not a clean week and everything's bleak
I guess I needed something that was greater than
The passion of the infidels
Haters and the fate of them
Envy of my enemies
I am not afraid of them
Back against the wall
Y'all seen what I was made of then

I thought this was a life I'd never give up
Through the hellfire even the heaven above
But I know now change is inevitable
And we can't stay the same forever my love

Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh
Nah, we can't stay the same forever, 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 I guess I digress
Got to follow what's inside my chest
My heart's been filled with the memories of joy and pain
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
Toys that bang, 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 redefine the spirit
Redesign my focus and path, make sure the hope is intact
Too many years mine's was broken in half
But I'm done with everything else, gone from the king zone
Got to stay fly like an angel with his wings on

I thought this was a life I'd never give up
Through the hellfire even the heaven above
But I know now change is inevitable
And we can't stay the same forever my love

Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh
Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh
We can't stay the same forever
I'm on a new plane now
I think it's time to change the weather
