Lyrics

Yeah
Real ones know
A lot changed (Oh)
But I never switched
I never switched, I stayed the same (Stayed the same)
Even when the money came (Even when the money came)
Same heart, same hustle (Oh)
Only thing changed was the lane (I never switched)
I never switched, I stayed solid while they folded under pressure (Oh)
Now they see me gettin' blessings after years of bad weather (Oh)
I never switched, I stayed focused (Oh)
Never let the fame control me (Oh)
Everybody got a story (Oh)
Mine just made me stronger slowly
Yeah, back when the lights were off and the fridge was empty
Nobody checked on me, nobody came to help me
Had to find my own way, had to make my own plays
While they partied every weekend, I was workin' through the whole day
I learned early, people love you when you winnin'
But when you fightin' battles, they disappear in a minute
That's why I trust actions more than words nowadays
'Cause a lot of people talkin', but they never really stay (Yeah)
I never switched, I stayed the same (Oh)
Even when the money came (Even when the money came)
Same heart, same hustle (Oh)
Only thing changed was the lane (I never switched)
I never switched, I stayed solid while they folded
Under pressure (While they folded under pressure)
Now they folded under pressure
Now they see me gettin' blessings after years of bad weather (Oh)
I don't need a hundred friends, I'd rather keep a loyal few
'Cause the fake ones show their colors
When success starts comin' through
Funny how they call me now, tryin' to reconnect
But I remember every time they ignored my texts
I was buildin' from the ground while they laughed from the sidelines
Now they act surprised like they didn't see the signs
I told myself I'd make it even if I had to crawl
Now I'm standin' at the top, lookin' down at it all (Oh)
Real stays real
Fake fades away
That's just how life goes
Uh, uh
No shortcuts, no handouts, everything was earned
Every bridge I crossed was another lesson learned
I got love for the struggle, it taught me who I am
Turned a hungry young dreamer into a grown man with a plan
Now the goals bigger and the vision clearer
Every year another level, every move gettin' richer
But one thing never changed and it never will
I still got that same hunger that got me here for real
I never switched, I stayed the same
Even when the money came (Oh)
Same heart, same hustle
Only thing changed was the lane (Oh)
I never switched, I stayed solid while they folded under
Pressure (While they folded under pressure, oh yeah)
Now they see me gettin' blessings (Ayy)
After years of bad weather (Oh)
I never switched, I never switched
I never switched
Real from day one (Yeah)
Yeah
Loyalty over everything
Real recognize real
Never switched (Ayy)
