It ain't been the same, I done watched everyone change

Whoever thought I would be rich

I was the one begging for change

It ain't been the same, I was down with no money

Now everybody starting to look at me funny

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same

Money and fame change everyone around me

I was broke and bummy when they all used to clown me

The industry fakе so keep that fake love from 'round me

I fеlt my nigga was leeching

I had to keep that boy from 'round me

We had a beat-up ass car, mama drove us in a minivan

I was a jit playing with sticks

while y'all was having fun in the sand

Grew up in the trenches, I had it hard

I swear that y'all don't understand

Bitch, I had to get it how I live

nobody gave a helping hand

It's a lot y'all don't know, that's just what y'all see

I make mistakes in the past but I know my mama proud of me

I took a lot off her plate, I put her mind at ease

Keeping Trevon name alive, I told him rest in peace

Like when we leave, I told my brother save a spot for me

Got the world on my shoulders way I'm putting it all on me

So many times wanted to give up, I hear 'em screaming please

Open your eyes Kenyata, you got something to live for

It ain't been the same, I done watched everyone change

Whoever thought I would be rich

I was the one begging for change

It ain't been the same, I was down with no money

Now everybody starting to look at me funny

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same

Looking at my cars, I really done came far

Looking at my brand-new house, I come from living hard

I was trapped in the dark

all my diamonds shining really hard

Seen so much at an early age

now I'm traumatized and I'm scarred

All these nightmares

ain't had a Carebear, I was clutching rods

I was breaking into houses

y'all was playing football in the yard

Y'all was in band class when was

on the block with them guitars

No, I ain't choose to live this life

I sat back and played my card

I got horror stores, I got some problems, they ignored me

I been tryna wear this pain, just Dior me

I did some things that weren't possible, ayy

Made it out the hood, where I come from

that's impossible, yeah

Street-born hunter, I turn the opps into runners

I had that sack plenty times, a couple times I done fumbled

Get out my shit and I recovered it

You ever heard your heart beat fast with two hands

you had to cover it

It ain't been the same, I done watched everyone change

Whoever thought I would be rich

I was the one begging for change

It ain't been the same, I was down with no money

Now everybody starting to look at me funny

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same

It ain't been the same, ooh, it ain't been the same
