Never Change (Madlib Remix)

Lyrics

[Intro: AZ] You lookin' like money You know what it is Yeah You know what it is Yeah [Verse 1: AZ] You know the happenings, homies just yappin' and Hand shaking, laughing, and exchangin' all they math again You usually lose touch when you travelin' A few dudes bruised up in the battlin' Parked on Madison across from the Radisson We talked about the tattlin' some niggas did in Maryland Plus discussed old homicides unravelin' I asked, was he dabblin', he laughed and said he managin' His Cartier frames was as clear as a camera lens He hardly changed, I was near in comparison We joked about how police choked him out And hе claimed as far as fame I had enough to bust in Oprah's mouth In othеr words, I was up in clout And from the curb I need to pull a Larry Bird, 'fore I'm up and out Without a sound, snatched my Guinness off the ground Rose up, gave him a pound and told him, "Homie, hold it down" [Chorus: Melle Mel] "Close to the edge I'm try— try— trying Not to lose my head I'm— trying Not to lose my head Ah-huh-huh-huh-huh" [Verse 2: AZ] It was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans She ain't that average bitch who be doggin' for dick You know them chicks that get you sick when they keep callin' Up in Nordstrom's for a fresh pair to floss 'em Of course with footwear I be that first nigga that sport 'em Caught 'em before the salesmen even had time to assort 'em Bought 'em before any celeb stylist ever saw 'em Wore 'em soon as I copped 'em in the spot playing possum Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options Celly started rockin', I answered, what's poppin' They answered and said, they shot him, now the hood got a problem I had to swallow, reaching out for my water bottle Tryin' to figure what nigga, why and by who, then Before you know it, the other voice told it It was homie from the old clique I just seen and spoke with [Outro: AZ] "Oh, shit It can't be serious! Worldwide! Okay, any—"
