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 fak? so keep that fake love from 'round me
I f?lt 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
