Phrase – Stay The Same Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

[Ad-libs]
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
Dear everybody that's close to me
It's prob’ly been a long while since you spoke with me
Lately, I notice it, I've been hopelessly
Tryna fill the shoes o’ the man I'm s’posed to be
Most o’ me wishes I could turn back time
To the booth where I never had o’ burnt that rhyme
To the truth where I never had o’ learnt that lie
But the sun shines brighter if you touch the sky (Uh, uh)
‘Cause the only thing that happеns when you touch the sky
Is the fall back to Earth seems twicе as high
And everyone expects that I'm twice the guy
Then the shoes you gotta fill seem twice the size
And they want more money, more raps and more shows
They want more from me, more tracks and more flows
So for now, I'm on the grind, I gotta chat from the booth
But I got mad love for everyone and that's the truth, the truth

[Chorus]
The world can turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change
The world can turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around (Yeah, look, look)
I will never change (Uh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
To be honest, I miss things like runnin’ amok
With the crew in the yards, all chuckin’ ‘em up
Hittin’ some booze at a bar, bum rushin’ a pub
If sucker crews got smart, we were fuckin’ ‘em up
Like pop tills, hot cars, hot pills
Got scars, got burnt, got ill
They like, "Phrase young, but the boy got skill"
Learnt to battle, earnt my spot on Revolver bills
And ain't a damn thing changed since I burnt that kid
Ain't a damn thing changed since I learnt that risk
Learnt to spit, learnt to write, learnt to fight
Uh-huh, the shit, I had to learn that quick
Now I'm not tryna put it back to what it was before
A man can't resist change (Nah) when it moves ‘im forward
Like you can't abort ship when your crew's on board
So full sails, fuck the weather, let the music soar, it soars

[Chorus]
The world can turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change
The world can turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around (Yeah)
I will never change (To everybody I been missin’)

[Bridge]
To the kids in the park, God bless your life
To my fellas that passed, God bless your life
To my boy, Nate Smith, hope you reached the light
And to my man, Big Jeeps, hope you restin’ quiet
To my Crooked Eye fam, God bless your life
And to my fam, I am now set to fly
To the kid, Ill Al, you next in line
To everybody in my life, God bless your time, yeah

[Album Interlude]
Okay, so listen
I'll tell you something
The truth that brings you here
Me
You
All the kids out there like you
We don't matter
Society doesn't care about us
They couldn't give a stuff about us
To them
We're undesirables
Scumbags
We're a threat
We're the waste they flush down the shitter
The vermin they'd exterminate
If they could
