It ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same

Ever since I've been chasing this bag, trying to build my name

People say I ain't the same, the same old T.Smooth

But ain't nothing changed, still out here chasing these dreams

Doing what I do, chasing this bag, hoping one day it'll chase me back

Yeah, it'll chase me back, yeah, it'll chase me back

It ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same

Ever since I hopped off the porch and never looked back

It was times I didn't have a damn thing, but a pen and a pad

Now I'm eating steak at the finest restaurant, no outback

I thank God for that, yeah, I thank God for that, yeah, I thank God for that

It ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same

Ever since I've been chasing this bag, trying to build my name

People say I ain't the same, the same old T.Smooth

But ain't nothing changed, still out here chasing these dreams

Doing what I do, chasing this bag, hoping one day it'll chase me back

Yeah, it'll chase me back, yeah, it'll chase me back

They see me smiling, yeah, they see me smiling

I'm just living my best life, making sure every day counts

And I'm leaving something for my seeds, so they won't have to struggle like me or like I did

I was so tired of it, yeah, I was so tired of it yeah, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same

No, whoa, yeah, it's the same old T.Smooth, T.Smooth

And I'll never change, and I'll never change

This is for my people, this is for my people, this is for my people, yeah, yeah, yeah

It ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same, no, it ain't been the same

Ever since I've been chasing this bag, trying to build my name

People say I ain't the same, the same old T.Smooth

But ain't nothing changed, still out here chasing these dreams

Doing what I do, chasing this bag, hoping one day it'll chase me back

Yeah, it'll chase me back, yeah, it'll chase me back
