Everything Changes

[Intro: Mystic] It was so beautiful Remember how in love we were? So in love So in love Once So in love Once [Verse 1: Aceyalone] She was a young girl I was a young man And I knew they would get her when I let go her hand And then I let go The inevitable So beautiful And susceptible So wonderful And so innocent And after this neither one of us would benefit Yeah, I was a dropout She was a graduate She said I’ll never be nothing she wasn’t having it Yeah, I tried to break her down I tried to reason it She said I wasn’t nobody to be believing in Yeah, what a waste of time What a waste of mind Your place of mind was a part of the design Yeah, I used to call her up She never called back When she called that said I wasn’t all that Yeah, I know that times change And people change, too I was a fool just to think that I could change you [Hook: Mystic] Everyone’s got stories gone About a love we once knew So high in the beginning Until the world cuts through And then everything changes Nothing feels the same Piece by piece it falls apart until All that’s left is blame [Verse 2: Aceyalone] And if I had a chance to do it all over I’d do it exactly the same I was a b-boy She was a good girl Turned hot girl Had to be a hood girl Never did she notice she would end up in a shook world I was like look girl it’s all in the book Yeah, I used to tell her jokes I used to make her laugh And if I had a whole dollar I would give her half So delicate And so intelligent And then she trying to play me out just for the hell of it Back when she was 19 not even 21 Used to do a thing getting somebody anyone Thought that she was naive Or was it really me I do believe She was the one that wasn't feeling me So we broke up at a barbecue Drove home thinking never will I bother you Yeah, I just didn’t know What it was hidden for She had me sitting low But she was bullshitting, though [Hook] [Verse 3: Aceyalone] So I just kept rhyming I caught her eye again Next thing you know she was hollering let’s try again But I wasn’t buying in Didn’t want to lie again Love was in the frying pan Baby, it’s done But she started hanging out And started being seen Seeing things different Said she wasn’t being mean Yeah, if I let her in Then I let her win But I’m a veteran what’s better than a friend Maybe she was an angel But she’s in disguise And I just didn’t see the God-light in her eyes Or maybe I should I walk away And cut all the ties Stay on the rise Leave love left where love dies We were youngsters But we’re older now But the world is a little more colder now And I’m just trying to get it all off my shoulder now Baby, you can hold it down I’ll see you in the wind [Hook] [Outro: Aceyalone] That’s right, baby Next life time Yeah, ain’t that what they say?
