Yeah
I wanna know what changed
I wanna know the reason why
Things are not the same
Know what I'm sayin?
Listen
Got a college degree, but I still can't get a job
Interviewed this week, but they haven't called me up
Resume is incomplete, but the raps are hitting hard
So I ink up all these pages
Know that they gon' get me far
Lately nothing ever really hits the same
Used to meet up with my friends on hot summer days
Oh I remember thinking things get better when you age
Now I only seem to worry bout how bills are getting paid
What changed?
I used to never get so tired
What changed?
We used fly a little more high
What changed?
I'm swerving out this lane, no doubt
Had range
And now we at the free throw line
Aye
You a witness to the moment
Let me lock in
Came in guns blazing
Shot my shot and got it poppin
Do it often
Should I opt in?
Whippin, used to call out shotty
'fore we hopped in
Now we can't afford a home
Cuz the price always rockets
They said get a loan
Think I'd rather buy a coffin
I should let it go
Got no interest in these interest rates
Listen to what I'm saying
I don't wanna have to iterate
Hit it left right left
Keep it steady (huh)
I stay way tuned in
I aint regular
I got brand new plans
They aint ready (huh)
Waiting on my moment like it's batter up
But I'm still on top
Like the boy is a la mode
If you don't see the vision
Then you just gotta go
This a hot pursuit
I presume I'm getting what I needed
Till the picture is completed
Put together all the pieces
Here we go
And here we go
And here we
Man I can feel all shifts and they accelerating
The windows to my soul, lately in the basement
They turned the lights off, now the flicker fading
I went and struck a match
And tried to get it flaming
Lately nothing ever really hits the same
Used to meet up with my friends on hot summer days
Oh I remember thinking things get better when you age
Now I only seem to worry bout how bills are getting paid
What changed?
I used to never get so tired
What changed?
We used fly a little more high
What changed?
I'm swerving out this lane, no doubt
Had range,
And now we at the free throw line
I just checked my phone for like the 37th time today
Opened up another app and closed it out like right away
By the way, this a vicious cycle, need a hideaway
Days are getting darker, I've been longing for them brighter days
My state of mind looking modified
Probably all this time that I invest into Spotify
The process not optimized, My smile is not as wide
Unless the end result come along with some dollar signs
That's my demise
I still play my role like commissioner (Hold up)
I'm still grateful for my current position
But listen
I work faster
In charge of stressing that action
I'm really sweating out passion
The realest with it
The truth is
I relish in it
Next step to finally finish
I gotta survive the business
And then Imma buy the business
I plead that ya finally listen
The start of some new beginnings
Ahead of ya
I felt the changes
I think it's time that I say goodbye
