Lyrics
Look how far that we done came
Loose change ain't change a thang
Look how far that we done came
Only change is some change but the rest stayed
15 when my momma got sick
16 blasting CREAM out my grand-momma whip
By 17, I knew that God would soon intervene
A young kid with a dream but needed guidance to see
I had to
I had to find a void cause all the noise was loud in the silence
Had to find my voice & now my choruses timeless
Never thought this art would turn itself to a science
I'm still praying for my brothers who just simply misguided
Gotta be a player if you tryna play the game
If she ain't into us, then she might swing the other way huh
Hard to pick apart the ones to thank & who to blame huh
Eyes are on the prize so now its gettin' hard to blink huh
If it was up to me I'd put a C next to my name, huh
Right by my name
Right by my name luh
Luh
At 18 me & cousin was riding round in a stolen whip
Had my niece, left the streets, he finally had to go legit
Same year brodie OD'd
Aggressive lil young nigga, baggie jeans, Mets jersey like its '03
At 19 I wanted morphines
Shit was moving slow I realized I needed a system & a support team
Uncle got convinced for 6, that's what the court deemed
Y'all singing like white folk whenever they hear Jolene
Turned 20 Tony got mad at me for selling powder
From the concrete, but we bloomed out it as a flower
We got shit to lose
Can't be out here hanging out with cowards who just said don't take it to heart, take it by the hour
I was reading WEB & Malcom I just wanted change
Lots of things I'll never get to tell, I'll never fix the pain
The tuition was covered by sales of bricks of cane
Had roaches in my crib, look how far that we done came
Look how far that we done came
Loose change ain't change a thang
Look how far that we done came
Only change is some change but the rest stayed
