Joe Budden - Wont Change Feat. Shanroz lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

I mean I try not to conform on some sheep shit

funny how your strong point could also be your weakest

They say that the first wound is the deepest

I say that its the easiest one to be at peace with

I think my misery would have y’all in disbelief

Swear that alone could get a jury to disagree

Should have followed a simple suggestion

In the belly of the beast giving it indigestion

Remember they said being yourself can’t work

I always thought being yourself can’t hurt

and if it did wouldn’t expect y’all to act cordially

its a much bigger issue than to work out your priorities

so I always state my thoughts

knowing the nigga going to judge me is at the gate not in court

some fought,

some feel like I’m nobody still

bottom line you don’t accept you nobody will

[Hook] x 2

Look about the window, watch the weather change

just like people do and it's all the same

but I won't change, no way

I said I won't change, no way

[Verse 2]

Joey said sheep, we both shepherds on this record

words are like wool, and i’m stitching em’ together

…like my heart, when they ripped it

..and the pills they prescribed, evidently won’t fix it

tellin’ me i’m fit to act the role in a script

but i ain’t going through the motions they pick

emotions… ain’t designed to be intertwined

with fakeness, like the monster of frankenstein

back as a kid, i would never say shit

trapped up in my mind, always feelin’ so anxious

guns out, facin’ demons like i’m playing doom

with no escape route, RUNNIN’ FROM THIS PADDED ROOM

change personified, runnin’ with me side by side

tryna bag me, but i ain’t talkin nickel-dimes

hiding inside, takes a toll on your mental health

to better me, finally had to accept myself

[Hook] x 2

[Verse 3 ]

Listen, i’m switching up my perception

i’m throwin’ stones, rip-pling my reflection

in essence, every second gets harder

as i grow older, all i hear is ben parker!

in my ear, tellin’ me to be responsible

a role model, is seemingly impossible

neglecting… the youth ain’t unstoppable

it’s only hard, if you make it an obstacle

conjuring my consequence is nonsense to the masses

but i’m on a star mission shootin’ like NASA’s

and i ain’t losin myself like them boosters

won’t have my team turn on me like John Keuster

..lucky if you got a handful of friends

..next to fam, that’s all you got to the end

..so i ain’t puttin on a show or persona

if you ain’t gon’ be yaself… i’ll disown ya

[Hook] x 2
