lyrics

(Intro)
I got some people with me rockin’ while the beat is steady knockin’
With some weed up in my pocket and enjoyin’ the flow
So I’ma probably get to jottin’ I ain’t got no other options
With no dollars in your pocket you’ve got nowhere to go

(Verse 1)
So come and take a ride with me through the valley
West Coast vibes cause my weed’s imported from Cali
I’d like to welcome ya’ll to a place where egos exist
A small town so you know that they’ll be eager to diss
Cause I’m the same funky brother I ain’t gotta pretend
While you lames are constantly changing and following trends
While that same kid who was too cool for school in Junior High’s
Now applying for a job in a suit and a tie (Aww)
Wasted your main skills chasin’ them fake thrills
Strugglin’ to pay bills codependent on pain pills
That same chick I used to dream I was with
Is now a tramped out slut that I ain’t interested in
Like those same kids who used to diss and think I was wack
Were into trap and nowadays don’t even listen to rap
So I don’t take it personally that you’ve broken my heart
Its insecurity cause you don’t really know who you are

(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame

(Verse 2)
I’m just a laid back rapper having fun
Tryna blaze fat marijuana bluntage to my lungs
While that same dude I used to think I wanted to be
Is now a junkie and dating a girl that’s younger than me
While the same people who refuse the blunt when I pass it
Are the first ones up at the bar drunk getting plastered
While that same scum bag who was a dealer and addict
Became a cop that just currently pulled me over in traffic
The way I see it this mentality is dangerous
Everyday people sell their souls without becoming famous
Just for some payments until all of the cash comes
While friends are quick to give that ass up for a fast buck
I used to try to rhyme to gain some appeal
But now I’m not even sure if what I’ve been chasing is real
Like that same dude who used to tease me in school
Is now my #1 fan so believe me its cool
(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame

(Verse 3)
Now over half my neighborhood is obnoxious
The other half are strugglin’ and steady hooked on Suboxin
This Heroine epidemic’s got my town in depression
My other friend just got arrested now in jail for possession
My boss’s nephew overdosed dying dead from drugs
Leaving his brother a sonless father, that’s the second one
Plus my Uncle just got his kidney replaced
Man I could give a shit about how many bitches you slay, bruh
I ain’t amused by your promiscuous ways
Your favorite entertainer’s now being convicted for rape
Your second favorite’s probably made some inappropriate comments
A borderline perv but at least we know that he’s honest
My ex-girl’s got some kind of mental disorder
Which if I knew at the time I could’ve been there to support her
Damn, feeling shitty daily risking my health
Like what a pity I think I’ve got a condition myself

(Chorus)
Now I realize that everybody’s paying bills and working
But every time I see you you’re acting like a different person
I question why you haven’t stayed in your lane
And they’ll say hey look around you people change everyday
But I’ve been the same Hip Hoper from day one
Same sweatpants, still smokin’ the same blunts
You changed up for the bills to get paid
For a 401K and 4 minutes of fame
