Same Change

[Verse 1] So I roll through the hood just to see what's poppin' Same shit as when I was little man this shit ain't stopping Young niggas telling me what on the world they can be I tell them slow down but they tell me it's not an option And lil mama walking down you see, with nothing on She's 17 but you can tell this girl and she ain't grown Her other girls walking up and down the block Working on baby number two but barely take care of the one she got They talking shit up in the barber shop They tellin' me 'bout who got clocked and now who getting locked We hear this shit about every day so we just press not One of our homies laying down going inside a box The newspaper telling me one of my homies gone But we so numb too it we don't find time to mourn So they day by day seem like the same shit on the front page A different phase but it seem the story never change,never change [Hook] The more they change,the more they stay the same The more they stay the same,the more they stay the same Never can go back to the way things used to be Some things never ch-,some things never change Oh some things never change [Verse 2] So we stay off the scenes way before we ready So a son hates his father though he never met him For the same reason father end up hating son And he can't raise a man probably cause he was never one And now we running with the homies as he older Got a trip on his shoulder now we making mistakes Do the shit that papa ain't show 'em Chicks he's gettin' 'em off, now they toppin' 'em off Yeah he hit 'em and quit 'em before we droppin' 'em off Cause ain't nobody ever stressing,he never learned his lesson About going inside dresses wearing no protection See it don't take a genius to see she will end up pregnant But she was fucking everybody so it ain't no telling And now he man enough to say he ain't ready for kids And he ain't about to claim a baby he ain't sure it's his Keep trying to convience her but she want her boy And now he's gone like his father before him Guess some things never change [Hook] [Verse 3] So the street light come on,kids still trying to stay out Hustlers in the hood still looking for a way out Old folks on the porch watching how we play out Summer time in the hood wasn't when it's layed out Old folks gossiping politics 'bout what's going on But ain't nobody taking the time to see where we going wrong They grab the criticise 'em and got 'em like they ain't make mistakes Instead of teaching them they keep throwing shit in their face And y'all ain't reaching them cause y'all keep taking them Defying for no reason like they dying for no reason Ain't nobody listening so when they tryin' they reaching You just Mr. Know it all but if you try they still be breathing ,huh Remember when your parents said that all the music that you listen to It's stupid , turn it down that shit is foolish well Put yourself back in them shoes,cause today's kids is just like you So things never change [Hook] (x2)
