Ain't Nothing Changed

Uh, check, uh I kinda miss my student loan Uh, I miss sitting in the sudent home Sharing stories, now I simmer sippin', sorta Rome Walking like I've been talking the talk but can't afford a phone Trust, I'm all alone, panicking to play it safe This talk of paper chase is forcing me to stay awake Livin' this layer cake, where others will say it's straight Say they got my back, and prayin' I'mma pave the way Like its the great escape, brothers doing better than me I'm in a hurry, worry, what if they forget about me? I'm just another number, nothing when the cheque will bounce See now we're moving for money But there's nothing but debt around me So when the rest have found me buggin' in the brain And I'm somewhere between the struggle and the strain They ask why every fucking song the fucking same And I tell them it's 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying ain't nothing changed Check, I'm saying ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying, ain't nothing changed No, 'cause ain't nothing changed I'm saying ain't nothing changed Uh, uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed Brother, 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying, ain't nothing changed No, 'cause ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed 'Cause this is for the men of the house who we're far too young See your friends are growing up but feel you can't do none You're raising funds for your mother and your can't do sons Up in the rubble raising trouble, what you can't do is run And trust I feel it, I feel it, but can't conceal it, see This inner city responsibility's killing me I start to shiver when I think of all the shit I need And see all my brothers burning paper on that sticky greed Picking the thickest leaves stuck in a mitt Taking a shit, I should have quit but couldn't fucking resist And now they sit with a lager, little luck, and a wish But trust they still blow their mother a kiss They're living up in the bits And slip, stagger through the puddles and the pain Somewhere beneath the rubbles in the rain, uh They ask why every fucking song the fucking same And I tell them it's 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying ain't nothing changed Check, I'm saying ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying, ain't nothing changed No, 'cause ain't nothing changed I'm saying ain't nothing changed Uh, uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed Brother, 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying, ain't nothing changed No, 'cause ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed Uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed uh Uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed Ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed Saying ain't nothing changed uh Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed Ain't nothing changed Saying ain't nothing changed uh Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed
