Paul Wall - Did I Change lyrics

rate me

There's one thing I've learned in life man

As you get older, thangs change

You know what I'm sayin?

People change, friends change

That's just how it go, mayn

I don't know if it's just me

Did I change? Did they change?

It's messed up

It'll never be the same

Let me tell ya mayn

It's nothin like losin ya bro

Today, love you

Tomorrow you don't know 'em know more

I got a lotta fish to fry

But one thing I learned is you can't teach a fish to fly

Kiss goodbye, cause on my team it's every man for theyself

I'm just tryin'a do my best and play the cards that I'm dealt

I reached out my hand for help, but I was reachin in vain

So I tightened up by belt and paid the price for this fame

All playas pay dues, you ain't gon' hear me complain

I started out with lots of friends, but only a few remain

They say I changed, but really I just matured and got smarter

Seems like the realer I get, the more these boys get frauder

When I'm around my own partnas, I sense envy and anger

Real recognize real, and all you boys is strangers

From now was brothers

I remember the shit like yesterday

In front of the high's gettin high

Lookin for the next day

Yeah I remember that

Same clothes, no bucks

No hoes, all we had was just us

Damn... man, I used to like that shit

And then we got a deal, and they ain't like that shit

I told myself that I'm a fight that shit

No matter how long they hate, I won't quit

Damn, but that's crazy though

I don't know if it's me

But we was like brothers, just different mothers

And they switched up

Should I love 'em or hate 'em?

I ain't changed, just changed situations

And that's why I only got a few partnas

Cause niggas don't know how to act and I lose partnas

And time change everythang

And back then, it was us against them

And the shit shoulda never changed

Dead God, I need your Blessing, so I'm asking for help

To handle all these situations that come with this wealth

My girlfriend is cheatin on my with my ex-best friend

So now I'm takin applications for my next best friend

I gotta keep my composure and hold it together

I survived the stormy weather

Things can only get better

I shoulda brought a sweater, cause warm hearts turn cold

Boys change shapes like Origami, but I refuse to fold

Truth be told, that problems follow money and power

Boys changin by the hour, friendships turn sour

Phony smiles, fraud dap, and lotta fake love

But I'm sturdy in my position, Paul Wall won't budge
