I'm livin' my truth, sky is the only limit I knew From drug dealin' to music, I mean, what didn't I do? Who didn't I put on? Took Ls and then I regroup On a shoestring budget, I showed them what I could do Ask Jake and ask Cap 'bout the bosses that I produced I'm West best investment, but that's between me and you (Ah) [Interlude] Always been that way (That's how it always been) Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change Just continue straight ahead That's the one thing that's never gonna change The way things have always been [Verse 2: Boldy James] Had to quit blazin' cigarettes (Uh huh) Was two-timin' my dame, I'm a bigamist But the gang half of the blame, I live with regret (Yeah), my brain a bit of a wreck All this stress and strain left it disconnect (Woah) Cheffin' up all the 'caine in that kitchenette (Skrrt) Acquainted with big execs who filthied up my name just to split a check (Whatever) Feel like I been betrayed by my silhouette (Yeah), mistakes was made to correct How I deal with the fame made me get upset (Ayy) Treated the same way that I lived with death, shit weighin' a nigga down Refrainin' from different stages of self-neglect Give me chills in my veins, takin' whatever's left (Woah, cold) From everything that was tooken in blatant disrespect For good, better, best, wouldn't trade it for less (Whatever) Took everything that came with it, and that came with a check (Big money) But yet and still a nigga rich off pain and depressed Chasin' a letterhead, ain't got a case to catch David Blaine with the press, tame the dog and made it fetch What else? [Outro] Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change It's been goin' on since the beginning of time That's the one thing that's never gonna change The way things have always been
