Stainless

Can't change what a nigga can't change
Said a nigga can't change what a nigga can't
change

Look, it's all knowledge and bad habits
Thinking bout a life I coulda had trapping
A new perspective on the page like I done had rapping
I'll take a bite up out of life cause I'm a mad savage
I ain't quoting from the bible like a bad passage
I'll be alone up in the kitchen cooking bad damage
What I have you know them other niggas can't have it
I'ma level up regardless if you can't hack it
Take it easy on em, like I was mad snacking
Pull up on me, I'ma have to send they ass packing
I let her in and it ain't been the same since
She talking crazy, we ain't on the same shit
Yeah I'm amazing, that's just what they all think
Creating your own style but it ain't this
Steady taking shots because you know I can't miss
And we ain't taking thotties cause they know I ain't rich
(Ahh)
And I ain't famous but I ain't nameless Nobody's soul gon' stay the same, they pain ain't stainless
But I'll get through, I'm on my own so man stay shameless
You know I stay crazy
and I can play heinous or maybe do a lot of nothing so I stay fateless
You know I stay faded
I let my soul face changes so I can reap what I done sowed while you remain aimless
And I ain't going for the road where I'll remain painless
Pay attention cause that ain't what I've been saying
Took it too serious nigga, I'ma stay playing
Pay attention cause that ain't what I've been saying
Took it too serious nigga, I'ma stay plain

And a nigga can't change, what a nigga can't change
Shoot yourself playing, better look and take aim
Never staying still enough to let em rain in
So love me like I'm whole with no damn expectations

So hard to stay patient, how could I cause my brain stay racing
No paved road, chase gold and making bold barred beats like an insane patient
She's an estranged maiden, and she stay up in the burbs gated
Too faded to relate like she on vacation
I changed the destination, no use in replicating
Forget the sins that's in the past, we're finally separating
So this the preparation, I do it for my empire, I do it for my nation
I do it for my family, and that extends to anybody else around who ground me
Talking bout I'm glad I found you, ain't you glad you found me
And this the stone that's founding, setting tones and sounding
So dissimilar to any beats today pounding
And y'all might be alarmed, I look to the beyond
I guess I'm different but my nigga that's what I be on
And now the Henny gone, pretend I don't belong
I'm at the forefront with my niggas got my jacket on
Gotta protect what's mine, ain't got no time for lesser
Convinced I'm trying, stressing mind or matter better dying
Rest the night of chatter, like I'm better than before
Opportunity keeps on arriving on my door
Thought I had the ceiling but I guess I got the floor
And it's mine to do with as I please shit they ain't done before

Cause a nigga can't change what a nigga can't change
Said a nigga can't change what a nigga can't change
Took it too serious nigga, I'ma stay playing
Said a nigga can't change what a nigga can't change
Shoot yourself playing, better look and take aim
Never staying still enough to let em reign in
So love me like I'm whole, with no damn expectations
