Intro (Ain’t the Same)

Lyrics

[Interlude: 19-year-old Boonie Mayfield] "6-7 years old, I was surrounded by hip-hop music. My older cousins, older friends that I was being raised around. They were listening to all the stuff as far as — A Tribe Called Quest, Das Efx, De La Soul." [Verse: 29-year-old Boonie Mayfield] Something ain't the same More candles to blow out The wishes never came Half the time I go out I wish I never came I used to love to show out But now I just refrain No need to entertain I keep a low pro out I see the same mind frame niggas can't grow out I find it kinda lame, I find it kinda plain Caught up in the matrix, suckerеd by the game But who am I to blame Thе world ain't perfect So why be ashamed? All I do is complain It's mundane [Interlude: 19-year-old Boonie Mayfield] "... Kid N' Play, MC Late, Queen Latifah. A lot of people." [Audio clip of a young Boonie Mayfield about to rap at a live freestyle battle]
