Lyrics

Verse 1 [Taj Austin]

Have you ever been a rich ****

Nah not me

I've got just enough to tell myself God got me

Chose to take a leap of faith instead of living on the edge

Find comfort knowing God gon come through in the end

It keep me humble

Keep me grounded even when I stumble

Keep me human

knowing I need help whenever I'm in trouble

But I'll confess want shit to change

Want the ‘88 Benz wood grain switching lanes

Pick up every tab, flying first class on planes

Give my family shit they never had

buy my wife her first Chanel bag

She think I'm next to be a rich ****

I believe her

Biggest fear is I get rich and feel like I no longer need ya

I'm scared I won't recognize my blessings

Stop living life within abundance

Tighten my grip on all of my possessions

Should it come with that

The bottom of the fall is that with everything I got

I don't give back to none of y’all

Due to my ambitions

I face contradictions

Maybe I’m just trippin

Lately I been feeling

I want everything to change

But want everything to stay the same

Uh

Started with a vision

But it met conditions

God gave me the wisdom

To make good decisions

Cuz I’m welcoming the change

Just hope the best of me can still remain

Verse 2 [Ras Austin]

Truth

I been fucking bitches

Dreaming of goddesses

I

I fear commitment

I think my problem is

I don’t wanna lose

Don’t wanna fail

Make it hard to choose

Make it hard to tell

Who really mines

Is there someone better

Always someone better

I could search forever

I may find you never

I fear that

Pray God hear that

Tryna steer clear that

Make it right

Then right again

Spit then write again

Music love me

I love music

Where would you fit in?

Would you tell me leave?

When its time to go

Or would you tell me stay

Knowing what my purpose holds

That’s a perfect hold

That’s the perfect trap

Feeling so in love

But yet your love could hold me back

Hold you in my arms

As resentment forms

And that shit the norm

But I can’t cope with that

So, I been fucking bitches

Dreaming of goddesses

I

I fear commitment

We know my problem is

I don’t wanna lose

Don’t want to fail

Make it hard to choose

Make it hard to tell

My parents love

That’s hard to find

It didn’t work

Now my Father Time

My Mother’s Nature

That shit in my nature

If it never work

I stick to work and I’ll be fine

Love been on my brain

Something to attain

I want everything to change

And yet stay the same

Verse 3 [Eric Jamal]

As I look into the Night sky

Staring at God freckles

I wonder who I am

If I’m really Him in a vessel

Asked him if I’d make it?

He answered back with a bar

There’s enough space for everybody be a star!

Under Murphy’s Law

If it can, it’ll go wrong

I wonder if that’s true

If it is

I should be gone

Coming from where I’m from

We don’t really make it this far

So before I’m called

Let me get this off

I just gotta say

Thank You

For the times I thought I was worthless

Would question if life was worth it

I know that nobody’s perfect

But damn is this even working

You came and gave me a purpose

and taught me to have discernment

Let wisdom stand by my side

Temperance always guide

myself to my inner child

The place where I feel divine

You put me inside a Tribe

On a Quest to save may lives

Blessed me up with a bride

So allow me to take this time

to simply say

Thank You

I can’t believe you my partner

You really do solve my problems

We laugh like we Gina – Martin

I have to give you your flowers

And always tend to your garden

You really should thank my father

I wanna say

Thank You

While you alive and can hear this song

I’m sorry that mommy gone

I’m sorry I’m far from home

I’m hurt that you all alone

Promise it won’t be long

I know you

I know you strong

Since the day I was born

Been teaching me right from wrong

Now I’m 3000 miles

away and I’m on my own

Some people just complain

Me I just catch a plane

Dang

I want everything to change

But yet stay the same.

Verse 4 [RioLoz]

So I pray I never see the day

I’ll say I use to know her

You held me down when I was low

Before the Coast blowed up

Before they put my name in lights

Before we went up on the price

I knew you always treasured my love

Even when my pockets was tight

I never cared about the finer things

just wanted you

That night you had that accident

I almost died too

I don’t want the world

If I’m gon loose what I got

I wasn’t born with a lot

I hope my family don’t change

I hope y’all treat me the same

I hope my real ones still love me

If I fall off today

I hope y’all still see the kid

from the village say hey

While paparazzi blocking every route

They all know my face

Don’t want attention

Just billions of dollars to renovate

the slums in every 3rd world country

that don’t really get named

I know the pain

I’m not ashamed

it made me who I am today

There’s not a thing that I would change

If I could have this shit my way

the only things I would’ve changed

is being broke

losing hope

Feeling anxious of failing myself

when I can’t write a quote

Stressing for hours

tryna start with the right vowel and flow

The fact my people been broke

for as long

I can recall the fact I can’t see my brotha

or hug my grandma anymore

I know heaven ain’t far

I close my eyes and see it close

Wish I could take all the pain away

my momma endured

she was so pure

Born into a world that poisoned her heart

I was the cure

for young Milena who wanted more

out of life that what a daily novela

shows on TV

but comparing lives don’t make it better

I know you need me

but our situation gon get better

I realize my life won’t change

If I don’t do the same

Shit

I want everything to change

But yet stay the same

Damn

I want everything to change

but yet stay the same
