Never Changed Up

(album: Self Made In America - 2022)

You know in life, you always got choices
You can wait for things to happen or you can go out and get it yourself
We choose to be independent

Ayo I never had a dollar or a fucking pot to piss in
But I always had the vision man they thought that I was tripping
I completely understand exactly what the pot was missing
So I got up off the ground and made a conscious recognition
Make a gift to give to the world, not the vultures out to get you
If you stay inside your lane then the people they would listen
It's a viscous intuition finding people you can trust
Fucking with the wrong ones, they can trip you up
Making music for the indies with the haters all in their feelings
Getting' paper just for chilling I'm ill and I know they feel it
In the building I'm ahome and I'll say it to the death of me
Built it with my hands and I wrote the fucking recipe

Trek down this road, made my way
When shit got cold, still kept my pace
Try to make me fold, but I didn't change
If anythang, I changed the game

Cuz we don't change the way we play
We don't wait for the games okay
We don't take anything we don't make
Cuz we're out on our own with a lot at stake
So we don't change the way we play
We don't wait for the games okay
We don't take anything we don't make
Cuz we're out on our own with a lot at stake

Don't pay me no mind, I'll stay on my grind
Pray to the Lord, wait on my time, chance it to shine
Make a buck from my lines, put the State on my spine
From the lakes and the ice, to the fuckin mud and the pines
I always bet on myself, let the faith intertwine
Organize cards I was dealt, found an escape through my vibe
For god sakes let me rise, whole life at stake and my eyes
Are zoning in on the prize, been running shit now for miles
Same grind with the same goals
But they wanted me to change over
Fire spit Ima flame thrower
High hats with the high times
Lay low
Made moves from the blindside
Stay focused
Paid dues with the rite kind
They noticed
Stayed in when it got wild
Ain't folded
Never change for the game bitch
I mold it

Trek down this road, made my way
When shit got cold, still kept my pace
Try to make me fold, but I didn't change
If anythang, I changed the game

Cuz we don't change the way we play
We don't wait for the games okay
We don't take anything we don't make
Cuz we're out on our own with a lot at stake
So we don't change the way we play
We don't wait for the games okay
We don't take anything we don't make
Cuz we're out on our own with a lot at stake
