Game Changed

All these late nights tryna get the pay right
Gone for a minute hope the family stays tight
See a day in my life, I take it with a strive
Keep my head above water 'til it's time to take flight
And we well ready, well heavy, you niggas know dis
Collect the readies, on a celly, making hovis
And the cream, niggas notice what I mean
Go and hit the belly and bring on the whole team
Wanna work fast but resources they be scarce
In and out of yards, going down the wrong path
The pressure getting heavier every year that goes past
And my Niecey getting older, I need to buy her new stuff
Don't believe in titles or folks gon' feel entitled
CB said, "One day your idols become your rivals"
I see it now, niggas I was bleeding for left me bleeding out
Deep it now, lost in my thoughts, I need a reason now

Sometimes I know you ain't true but I love the way you feel
I be wrapped up in my feelings, I be hoping time heals

Forget da beef ting and make money
But don't blame me if there's suhm in bushes when we go out to da party
So please, please, don't test my dargy
Cah the old ways have a boy in stitches, and it ain't really funny
Put me anywhere on Gods green earth
And I'll make it work, shit, I'll triple my worth
I ain't got points to prove, I said I ain't got points to prove
I got points to move, in my accounts
One bad fruit make the bowl go bad
I'm tryna make moves like Bogle had
I'm on a grand tour, you know there ain't no settling
Niggas sell drugs, hustlers sell everything
And I'm so sorry bae, I'm always late to make plans
I'm out to make grands on grands
So I can put money in hands, have a laugh to the bank
But ain't a thing funny in my plans

How many times I gotta say it
You can't blame me
I was outside from a lil youngen
The game changed me

What's on my mind? I need more hugs, more love
More my niggas outta cuffs, and less of us held up
Prinny was on her way school when her brother got shot up
But she my nigga so I always got her that's real trust
Ayo Biggz forget the bail cuz
They're tryna keep us locked in cells cuz
Selling us the same stories that the slave masters sell us
I'm just tryna never fell off
Tryna make a way to riches cah the system never tell us
Sex and passion can't get confused with love and intimacy
Prayer's go out to those who live this life and live it risky
For I can see a piece of me in you who choose to succeed
But the world won't ever be fair so it's key to believe
Go out and get it by whatever your means
And if you need help, just find a shoulder to lean
If you ain't got one, then reach out to me please
For I was once you, and we on the same team

How many times I gotta say it
You can't blame me
I was outside from a lil youngen
The game changed me
