It Ain't The Same

City High

Oh, yo
You wanna hear a true tale?
Strap your seat in tight
I'll be all illuminated signs in this joint of fright
It's gonna be a rough one
With a whole lot of turbulence
But if you pay attention to close you should learn from it
Everybody wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth piece
Doubt me, come to the public house on Al's Street
Watch me, but keep your ears wild
Cause I'ma take you for a tour to the halls of City High
Where the students don't give a fuck
They leave you stuck in the bathroom
Stung, body hung in a crutch
And if they walk upon your papi at the traffic lights in your 5 speed
You're running everything but the clutch (for real)
I don't care if you the principal or the general, Lieutenant or captain
Once you're in it, it's happened
Everything changes right before your eyes
Take it from me I went from a average to a 0.5
But things change

Everything must change (it ain't the same no more, nah)
Nothing stays the same (it ain't the same no more)
That's the way of times (yeah, uh)
Nothing goes unchanged

Yo, I was forced to pick up a pencil and drop thoughts
I ain't got no gap to pick a pill cap
So I pick up my bags and run fast out of class
Cause I ain't got no bag for the bullies at the back door
Waiting for me everyday
I mean I got a 'A' in my music class but I don't change shit
And they still wanna take my bubble rip of my news Jordon's
12th grad extortionate roaming the school corridors
I don't even study no more
I stopped thinkin
Cause my minds mackin out to rollways to get homesick
With all the noise from my stomach rumbling I stopped listening
Mom, willing to give me enough lunch money to pay attention and
If I happen to come across a little extra
I hide it my sock
Cause thug cat wanna check it
All in your pockets soon as you went to the locker room
Ribs stomping in a headlock and I'm getting wild
I'm just tryna say that

Everything must change (it ain't the same no more, come on)
Nothing stays the same
Cause that's the way (yeah) way of times (you know)
You know, you know nothing goes unchanged

Yo, yo, so I guess I gotta take the law in my own hands
Do what I gotta do now, since I ain't got a crew now
Hope I run into this new kid
He sell Boo-yaw
Let me buy one with a few rounds
We see who runs the school now
I coped the 4-4 with '96 bill's that I had
When I jacked this teacher back out of my math class
Gave it to the kid and I still owe 4 more
Never think I'd do some I didn't have the heart for
But now I'm feeling hardcore
With my Luis strapped tight to my side like a Jedi knight
Bring the Star Wars
Walk on the halls like "Where ya faggots at now?"
Tryna block my path now, let's see you lay flat now
Who get the last laugh now
As sick as mental patients
What the hell a kid gotta do to get a education
Turn into a crook, get a gap even shook
Take a risk in the catch of the case
And die in the mistake
It ain't the same no more

Everything must change (it ain't the same no more)
Nothing stays the same (it ain't the same no more, uh-huh)
That's the way of times
Nothing goes unchanged
Oh, no
