I Can't Change

To all my niggas, this a letter to you
We done came a long way, see what this rapping can do
'Cause where we come from, dreams hardly come true
OGs laced me right before I walked in these shoes
Tryna stay focused, I ain't got shit to prove
Music and my son, I got so much shit to lose
When my niggas died, swear it left me confused
Got my eyes open while I ride with the tool
Yeah, mama always tried to tell me, "Boy, stay in school"
But I was running 'round the streets with the thugs, breaking rules
Hanging in the hood, we ain't have much shit to do
Now we chilling top floor, it's a whole different view

Niggas hating 'cause I got my name up
Keep it one hundred, can't change up
Riding through the hood, I got the thang tucked
Niggas hating on us, can't blame us, ayy
'Cause this that lifestyle that I'm living, I can't change
'Cause even though shit change, I'll always be the same

You play, we getting to letting off, then make bonds like hot dogs
When it's up, it's stuck, nigga, a preacher couldn't save you
Been getting dollar signs since I was young, I'm still twenty-one
And I'm still a savage, nigga, be careful when I laugh with you
I apply pressure first, that's what happened to the last victim
Can't go no farther with this shit, I'ma probably let my dad kill 'em
All in LA with this .40 cal
But back in Alabama, lost my angels there
Try to keep my clip for it, you don't know the half
I pop Percocet and Roxy, got off lower tabs
God din't give a nigga trust, we had to live like this
Sometimes I hate to leave the crib like this

Niggas hating 'cause I got my name up
Keep it one hundred, can't change up
Riding through the hood, I got the thang tucked
Niggas hating on us, can't blame us, ayy
'Cause this that lifestyle that I'm living, I can't change
'Cause even though shit change, I'll always be the same

Balling like AI, you move, we spray y'all
I'm fly as Delta Airlines, touch me, I take off
I hang around some hitters, shit reminded me of Adolf
Knew I was gon' be rich when I was skipping all in A hall
Put thirty holes in that boy like Todd Gurley
I'm in your hood with all my jewelry and I ain't nervous
She said, "I love the way you dressing like you having turkeys"
I promise I ain't check the price until I made the purchase

Always be the same and remain
I can never switch up on the gang
I just want the money, fuck the fame
Young nigga grinding 'til I pull up in a Range
I don't think you'll ever understand my pain
Fuck these pussy niggas, I ain't playing games
Police ask me questions, I ain't saying names
Let the hollow tips ripping through his brain

Niggas hating 'cause I got my name up
Keep it one hundred, can't change up
Riding through the hood, I got the thang tucked
Niggas hating on us, can't blame us, ayy
'Cause this that lifestyle that I'm living, I can't change
'Cause even though shit change, I'll always be the same
