You know what?
everybody goes through some changes in life
some poeple change for the better, some poeple change for the worse
but umm, some people need to make that change
you know what i mean? change is good sometimes. you know?
[verse 1]
why would i change? i ainand't never slide down a bad pole
even though iand'm certified over platand's sold
they say iand'm different and'cuz i ride in a plat. rolls
but every time, we gotta ride donand't this cat roll?
i never snitch, and go and hide in a rat hole
and i aint givinand' you nothing besides what this gat hold
no pride, i ainand't that old
cut off a few, but kept a few girls i decide like iand'm ??
it probably donand't seem like a struggle
but i used to dream that this thugand'll balance beams just to smuggle
itand's funny same girls that didnand't seem like theyand'd love you
is begginand'for your autographs ands screaminand' to hug you
itand's crazy, same dudes that seem like they thug you
is prayinand' on your downfall, scheminand' to mug you
and people that didnand't give a fuck, is dreaminand' to bug you
and goin throughand' extremeand's just to plug you, who really changed?
[chorus]
this game ainand't change me, so donand't let it change you
if youand've been real with me, iand'm still real with you
if you got love for me, i still got love for you
if you down for me, then iand'm still down for you
if you donand't fuck with me, then i donand't fuck with you
if you ainand't cool with me, then i ainand't cool with you
if you wonand't ride with me, then i wonand't ride for you
this game ainand't change me, donand't let it change you
[verse 2]
why would i change? i didnand't step out of supermanand's phone booth
to remind where iand'm from, i look at my own tooth
iand'm speakinand' the known truth
i ainand't been living the same, since i moved under silvia roneand's roof
why would i feel like iand'm a stranger?
and why should i feel like iand'm in danger?
and iand'm grindinand' and'till iand'm right
whether itand's on the streets, or online tryna climb sites
i ainand't blind from the limelite,
i had my mind and my rhymes right, and signed when the timeand's right
people shouldnand't be hateful, they should be grateful
but fuck it, i guess i gotta keep my three eight full
iand'm playin, the game, like iand'm, supposed
stayin, the same, like iand'm, supposed
ghetto fab in da house, hip hop hustler
one million customers, and i still bust at ya
[chorus]
[verse 3]
why would i change when i get green like the incredible hulk?
iand've chilled with the richest people to the ghettoest folks
known a few ?? and met a few locs
made a few comments, and said a few jokes
but itand's gettinand' me sick, someone prescribe me some medicine
before the fame, the vibe was way better then
some have even became rivals instead of friends
only two become liable for settlements
i grew up watchin the
now they hate to see a nigga drivinand' the better benz
thatand's why the clubs be, deprivinand' to let us in
they know the family bring knives and barettas in
iand'm thankful for being allowed, fans for being the crowd
how could my head be in the clouds?
itand's strange, what the fameand'll do
but you know what? the only one who seen the change from the fame is you
[chorus]
Iand'm the same nigga man
same nigga, that ridinand' with you
niggas thatand's fuckinand' with you
iand'm still fuckinand' with you niggas
the same nigga, these hoeand's ainand't like
now they on my dick right? haha... shit is crazy
donand't let this game change you nigga...
