Nothing stays the same whoever thought of that
Bullet to the brain whoever taught me that
You ain't got no heart, you just get heart attacks
Say you got the drip, I move like water

I been the man this since I was in 2008ighties
Way back at the 'Wood and we was the greatest and
Drake was the favorite, I just got my L's
No pied piper, but was hanging with Calez
I met Fonz-E-Mak, and then got a Mac
But prior to that I was with a McFly like the future was back
When you had to prove that you really could rap
Back when smoking meant asthma attacks
Radio was transition to trap
And we was like the antithesis of that
Old heads wanna diss us when we scat
If you was on a blog you was on the map
I ain't know where I would fit in all of that
Starter jacket wearer with the snapback
Started in the era Ye had backpacks
I don't mean to backtrack, but
It's important that you know my backstory
I know I'm the future and I gotta big up the ones who laid out the map for me
Lupe Fiasco had me on a Fahrenheit 1/15
I was like 15 tryna write a hundred thousand 16s
But you know when you turn 18
That's when the world try to take dreams
The lies they make up are make believe
Please do not fall for the Maybelline
Say that life is a movie right?
Always wondered what that really mean?
Cause they love to show you the highlights
But you never really see deleted scenes

Nothing stays the same whoever thought of that
Bullet to the brain whoever taught me that
You ain't got no heart, you just get heart attacks
Say you got the drip, I move like water
I'm still shapeshifting
Lost some mates, innit?
Things rearrange
I welcome the change, that's just fate, innit?
I'm still fresh, innit?
Still one of the best in it
Try to box me in
I don't mesh with it

Hold up hold up hold up, get the script straight
5'11 with a presence like I'm 6'8
Man I sure been going through a lot til this day
I don't cap I just adapt, now watch me shift shape
I'm so 60419, watch me blow yo mind
I can show you times, when I was low on dimes
And that ain't slow my grind
The year is 2014, I got my degree
And this is when me and Jasmyn were a thing
And we got a house, but then I moved out
Cause I ain't really know what love was about
And plus I was going a different route,
And she was sharing me with my ambition
And another friend that I won't mention
I just couldn't keep her in that position
Damn
Why is it always some drama?
My therapist told me it got something do with my relationship with my momma
And I don't know how I'ma deal with it
New to these feelings if I'm being honest
I don't know why I feel like all my problems would go away chasing some commas
I guess when you young and you push it aside
At some point in time, I ain't feel alive
They asked for my soul I signed on the line
Had buyer's remorse, but ain't no rewind
I took it in stride, and did something different
If I'm not anything else, I just know that I'm resilient
Niggas can't keep me on this one

Nothing stays the same whoever thought of that
Bullet to the brain whoever taught me that
You ain't got no heart, you just get heart attacks
Say you got the drip, I move like water
I'm still shapeshifting
Lost some mates, innit?
Things rearrange
I welcome the change
That's just fate innit?
I'm still fresh, innit?
Still one of the best in it
Try to box me in
I don't mesh with it
