Ain`t Nothing Changed

Uh check uh I kind of miss my student loan Uh I miss sittin' in a student home Sharing stories now I simmer sippin' sorta Rome Walking like I've been talkin' the talk but can't afford a phone Trust I'm all alone panickin' to play it safe This talk of paper chase is forcing me to stay awake Live in this layer cake where others will say it's straight Say they got my back and that they're prayin' Imma pave the way Like it's the great escape brothers doin' better than me I'm in a hurry-worry what if they forget about me I'm just another number nothin' when the check will bounce See now we're movin' for money but there's nothin' but debt around me So when the rest have found me buggin' in the brain And I'm somewhere between the strucken' and the strain They ask why every fuckin' song the fuckin' same And I tell them it's cause ain't nothin' changed saying ain't nothin' changed Check I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Na cause ain't nothin' changed I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Uh uh I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Brother cause ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Na cause ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed Cause this is for the men of the house who we're far too young See your friends are growin' up before you can't do none You're raisin' funds for your mother and your 'can't do' sons Up in the rubble raisin' trouble when you 'can't do's run And trust I feel it I feel it but can't conceal it see This inner city responsibility's killin' me I start to shiver when I think of all the shit I need An' see all my brothers burnin' paper on that sticky greed Picking the thickest leaves stuck in a mitt Sayin' the shit I should have quit but couldn't fuckin' resist An' now they sit with a lark little luck an' wish But trust they still blow their mother a kiss They're livin' up in the bits And slip stagger through the puddles and the pain Somewhere beneath the rubbles and the rain uh They ask why every fuckin' song the fuckin' same And I tell them it's cause ain't nothin' changed saying ain't nothin' changed Check I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Na cause ain't nothin' changed I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Uh uh I'm sayin' ain't nothin' changed Brother cause ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Na cause ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed Uh I'm sayin' ain't nothing changed Uh I'm sayin' ain't nothing changed Ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed Uh cause ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Uh uh cause ain't nothin' changed Ain't nothin' changed Sayin' ain't nothin' changed Uh cause ain't nothin' changed Trust cause ain't nothin' changed
