Never Changing

Never Changing 
Back in the day you would think twice before you say my name 
Considered hungry and thirsty so I chased the fame
Burning flames fairly new to the game so the **** didn’t change
So I’m smiling kinda funny cause chicks is tossin out rent money
There’s no lavish to style No habits
Never Changing something to think about, I’m tired stressing full of doubts
At times I get in my car & ride the gas out just thinking 
My ancestors would be tossing and turning in their graves to find out I was considered the epitome of a slave 
Pant too small sitting with my ass out with a nasty disposition shitty no clout
Never Changing
Bills piling up gotta work it out,my  phone keeps ringing & I’m spazzing God what’s good just asking?
Seems like never needs to change, the longer the purpose it starts to look like a three ringed circus.
Trust and believe there’s no magic hocus poke us
Never changing
**** gotta believe you can brush your teeth with how cold this game gets
Honestly, no time to hesitate because pockets empty, so I’m running to the dollar store no Colgate.
Never Changing 
Messing with this industry could be costly eager desiring to please mouths frothy Cudjo
Frantic and alone holding on to a pre-paid cell phone, losing grip trippin crazy 
Lazy must put that work in, Never changing!
