(Can't stay the same forever Can't stay the same forever my love Can't stay the same Can't stay the same forever...) There I was, a lost soul stirring in the kitchen Standing at the crossroads, blurring in my vision Nine inside my right-hand brimming with ambition Yayo in my system, if you living how I'm living And you were in my condition Full of this conviction Key in the ignition, engine purring like a kitten On the road to perdition, on a mission for the gold I'm owed what I'm missing, I don't listen what I'm told But I was served well by that hard head Stayed consumed with that hunger 'til I got fed Hothead Me against the world, like what Pac said Had a couple brushes with the reaper I was not dead If your money's on the underdog, you're sticking with me The money's quicker and the liquor is free Too brash to see it cyclical, see Plus, I got these minions on my dick Huh, despicable me I thought this was a life I'd never give up Through the hellfire even the heaven above But I know now change is inevitable And we can't stay the same forever my love Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh We can't stay the same forever I'm on a new plane now I think it's time to change the weather There are no teachers better than pain The agony of loss and betrayal, I consider the same Waking up riddled with jitters Trying to fit into fame Spit in the rain, wash away a past that's littered with shame Lost my way to wrath Lust and Pride Felt justified in this anger Stuffed inside a broken heart that must've died A hustlers eyes that I see the game with Chaos I came with plus the violence, but hey, I must survive Busted ties, backstabbers with disgusting lies Odds stacked against me high, I try to touch the skies A chipped shoulder and a mean streak Days I got zip sober Not a clean week and everything's bleak I guess I needed something that was greater than The passion of the infidels Haters and the fate of them Envy of my enemies I am not afraid of them Back against the wall Y'all seen what I was made of then I thought this was a life I'd never give up Through the hellfire even the heaven above But I know now change is inevitable And we can't stay the same forever my love Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh We can't stay the same forever I'm on a new plane now I think it's time to change the weather I was told never change and I tried my best To keep my head high and hide my stress But if I never change and don't grow I guess I digress Got to follow what's inside my chest My heart's been filled with the memories of joy and pain Ups and downs, enough to drive your boy insane We done killed all our enemies by living these dreams Still alive to tell the stories of this poison game Toys that bang, powder that destroys the brain Disregarded in the garbage with the noise of fame But I've had it with the bullshit I ain't trying to hear it I just needed time to redefine the spirit Redesign my focus and path, make sure the hope is intact Too many years mine's was broken in half But I'm done with everything else, gone from the king zone Got to stay fly like an angel with his wings on I thought this was a life I'd never give up Through the hellfire even the heaven above But I know now change is inevitable And we can't stay the same forever my love Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh Nah, we can't stay the same forever, uh We can't stay the same forever I'm on a new plane now I think it's time to change the weather
