Lyrics

[Chorus] We need to change our waysDoin' the same thing we did yesterdayMaking beats, gettin' highChasing freaks, feeling fineIt's still the same old shit (The same old shit)But I think we ain't gon' quitMaking a rhyme, climbing a hillStayin' alive, tryin' to live(Once in a while, I get in my head too much)Just tryin' to live(And that's when I call, hoping you appear, God) That's all it is [Interlude] Brr, brrThe voice message— [Verse] Bruh, how the fuck you got so rich and yet, you wear the same fits And pair of sneak's like every week? 'Cause I don't care to change shit I'm likе a creature o' habit, plus, what's the point burnin' brеad When like a creak in yo' attic, I still be turnin' yo' head? Just to confirm if that dreadheaded, tall fella is Cole I try to walk with the hoodie, whether the weather is cold Whether the weather is warm, it's just to cover the form When doin' regular things, try to repel gettin' swarmed But yesterday, I was drivin', Trap Muzik album did blast Took me back to a time when I was down in my laugh Was rappin ' T.I.P. rhymes, then I looked down at the dash Oh shit, I'm trippin', reminiscin', damn near ran out of gas I pulled into this lil' station that I had seen on the ave' In a peculiar hood, in unfamiliar paths I got no hoodie, it's bad, hopped out and went to the pumpI pushed the 93 button, felt like a sitting lil' duck While lookin' over my shoulder, I heard this dude on the cornerSound like he talking to me, "Hey, bro, you smoke marijuana? I got that pack if you need, and I can smell the aroma"I told him, "Nah, I'm aight, I never once was a stoner" The tank was taking so long to fill up, I thought it was brokeCould feel the curiosity comin' from buddy that spoke Right then, he start to approach, "Hey, bro, you look real familiar"I said, "I get that a lot," , as he got close, it got clearer "Oh shit, that's Cole, nigga, wait, what you doin' over this way? Bro, I was just thirteen years old when I got hold of your tapeI tried to put niggas on, but they was slow to go play Bro, you the GOAT, they didn't know then, but bet they know it todayI need a flick right quick, 'cause, dawg, I don't even know what to say To make a dollar bill right now, I'm out here throwin' bouquetsSlangin' flowers, but I played your albums and know it's a way I played your shit when bro got hit, it helped me cope with the painI played your shit when momma tripped, and I had nowhere to stay I swear I feel like you was wit' me in my loneliest phase"The love he showed me was so strong, it damn near blowed me away See, even I be needin' reminders on my lowliest dayThat I should live in my purpose if I deliver my verses And get the fuck out my way, I'll figure out what to saySome days, I forget to eat, some days, I forget to pray I get a whole lot of love, some days, I focus on hateI took a selfie with dawg and gave the longest embrace Then look him right in his face to let him know that this thanksWas from a genuine place, 'cause this continuous raceTo be the best will leave you steppin' at a strenuous pace'Til you forget who you is, and you forget who you ain'tBefore you know it you're trapped inside that picture you paintThis life is more than just rap, more than the bitches you scrapeMore than the riches you stack, see, it's the difference you makeYeah, it's the difference you makeYeah, it's the difference you makeYeah, it's the difference you— [Chorus] We need to change our ways, doin' the same thing we did yesterdayMaking beats, gettin' high, chasing freaks, feelin' fineIt's still the same old shit (The same old shit), but I think we ain't gon' quitMakin' a rhyme, climbing a hill, stayin' alive, tryin' to liveJust tryin' to liveThat's all it is
