[00:01.27]
[00:03.82]And they say don't ever change change on me
[00:12.65]
[00:15.50]Although beautiful matrimony is a rapper balancing your women
[00:18.97]Your riches and at least half your homies
[00:21.24]You're at the top, don't crack
[00:23.68]I've been doing my own thing
[00:26.79]
[00:27.33]And they said don't never change
[00:30.24]And I pray I stay the same
[00:32.53]Want everything for everybody 'round me
[00:35.33]I've been doing my own thing
[00:38.39]
[00:39.05]And we said we'd never change
[00:41.91]And I pray we stay the same
[00:44.43]Fame changin' everybody 'round me
[00:46.64]OK, good business with mad friends and we said we'd never change
[00:52.92]But bad business with mad friends, aha, glass egg
[00:58.81]
[00:59.51]Me and you was chillin' though
[01:00.97]Now that shit got cold like the OG with that finger roll
[01:03.66]That Spur, probably cop it, cause the more wallace
[01:06.59]And it's worse when they even in their fillings of your pockets
[01:10.17]
[01:11.49]Then I got my deal
[01:14.00]Started wondering if them with me are for real
[01:19.64]Mmm, I figure them'll do it, not us
[01:22.56]Mmm, the bond was thick, now just the blot is
[01:24.88]And isn't it ironic, getting a name can make you anonymous
[01:27.89]My newest of hobbies, collecting calls from the lock-ups
[01:30.55]Tell 'em I know he's so sick of the walls
[01:32.10]When he get home, he going shopping
[01:33.69]
[01:34.22]Mmm, look at the time that caught us
[01:36.74]Talked to the Times when younger and made me get my life in order
[01:39.34]Real in it for life, but now look at the price
[01:42.33]But now look at that register, everything in here slight
[01:45.23]Mmm, cause I'm Jah doin' aight
[01:48.11]Look at how the moral of the story, but don't see its advice
[01:51.48]It's right, it's like life is like a glass egg
[01:54.67]Tryna maintain what come with the fame and keeping your last friends
[01:57.67]Yeah, you know that balance of
[01:59.78]Cause who on your back or who got your back
[02:01.18]I promise the line is this thin really
[02:04.19]You know that balance of
[02:05.65]Cause who on your back or who got your back
[02:07.00]I promise the line is this
[02:08.26]I got this glass egg somehow on the top of this
[02:11.26]Balanced, on the top of this mountain, you know
[02:14.33]I don't know how I got it there exactly
[02:16.02]But I see it's there and I got to end this with the right feeling
[02:20.77]I've been doing my own thing
[02:23.76]
[02:24.32]And they said don't never change
[02:27.30]And I pray I stay the same
[02:29.64]Want everything for everybody 'round me

[03:00.99]Told you I would get this straight, told you once I got big
[03:03.75]It's lonely at the top by the population looking in, ahh

[03:17.27]Sometimes the mighty let the devil in
[03:19.69]Yeah, now salutations to my former friends
[03:22.17]Forming to form against me is currently your form of defense
[03:25.26]
[03:25.94]And now it hurts me to say, sometimes your sandbox
[03:29.19]Equipped for dirty exchange, now was it
[03:31.60]Or that bling in a hurt or sustain at curtain calls
[03:34.30]One of two that either boo or bouquets, so was it
[03:37.21]Worth of your fam or worth all tha fame
[03:39.20]Exchange your personal relationships for personal gains
[03:42.29]
[03:43.64]I'm telling you, balance is a bitch
