Won't Change

[Verse 1: Joe Budden] I mean I try not to conform on some sheep shit Funny how your strong point could also be your weakest They say that the first wound is the deepest I say that's the easiest one to be at peace with I think my misery would have y'all in disbelief Swear that alone could get a jury to disagree Should have followed a simple suggestion In the belly of the beast giving it indigestion Remember they said being yourself can't work I always thought being yourself can't hurt And if it did, wouldn't expect y'all to act cordially It's a much bigger issue, better work out your priorities So I always state my thoughts Knowing they could only judge me if the gate's not in court Some fought, some feel like a nobody still Bottom line you don't accept you nobody will [Hook: Shahroz] Look up out the window, watch weather change Just like people do, and it's all the same But I won't change, no way I said I won't change, no way-ay [2x] [Verse 2: Shahroz] Joey said sheep, we both shepherds on this record Words are like wool, and I'm stitching em' together Like my heart, when they ripped it And the pills they prescribed, evidently won't fix it Tellin' me I'm fit to act the role in a script But I ain't going through the motions they pick Emotions… ain't designed to be intertwined With fakeness, like the monster of frankenstein Back as a kid, I would never say shit Trapped up in my mind, always feelin' so anxious Guns out, facin' demons like I'm playing doom With no escape route, RUNNIN' FROM THIS PADDED ROOM Change personified, runnin' with me side by side Tryna bag me, but I ain't talkin nickel-dimes Hiding inside, takes a toll on your mental health To better me, finally had to accept myself [Hook: Shahroz] [Verse 3: Shahroz ] Listen, I'm switching up my perception I'm throwin' stones, rippling my reflection In essence, every second gets harder As I grow older, all I hear is ben parker In my ear, tellin' me to be responsible A role model, is seemingly impossible Neglecting... the youth ain't unstoppable It's only hard, if you make it an obstacle Conjuring my consequence is nonsense to the masses But I'm on a star mission shootin' like NASA's And I ain't losin myself like them boosters Won't have my team turn on me like John Keuster Lucky if you got a handful of friends Next to fam, that's all you got to the end So I ain't puttin on a show or persona If you ain't gon' be yaself… i'll disown ya [Hook: Shahroz]
