Omen - Things Change lyrics
rate me(Intro)
Yeah things change, things change
Things change nigga
(Verse: J. Cole)
Pick up the pen, time to write my sins away
Right my wrongs & then life goes on
Bitch be callin', then mistakenly niggas be fallin'
I fuck them & I leave them, foreva picture me ballin'
Wit cash that I neva had, I'm tryin' to stretch a million
Hopin' it foreva lasts, a fear of goin' broke
Cos' most niggas I know can barely make the car note
Can barely keep the rent paid, so I'm like Da Vinci
Paintin' pictures to last centuries since like the 10th grade
Carolina nigga wit New York plates
My template, switch states & swerve, mix-tapes were served
Get cake, absurd, & has big plates, preferred
Ya heard, my every word
Potentially can free us all, now that's a heavy burden
Sumetimes I'd rather get sum' head & watch my wealth grow
Cause things change, am I the same one ya fell for?
One side screamin' 'hell no' otha side holdin' on for dear life
Lately nigga I feel like, I ain't that young frail nigga that I used to be
Pardon my ways girl, I'm still gettin' used to me
Cause things change, I'm still gettin' used to me
I ain't that old shy nigga that I used to be
Bitches watchin' niggas plottin' on me, truthfully
Got to be careful what ya wish for, as ya can see
Things change
(Hook)
Things change, it'll neva be the same
I've neva been the one to settle, it'll neva be the same
(Yeah, things change)
Nothin' eva stays the same, it'll neva be the same
(Things change)
Nothin' eva stays the same
(Verse 2: Omen)
I told ya, raindrops do fall
But see, these clouds ain't the same that ya saw
My memory banks got sum' pain to withdraw
I am not afraid, I am not unscathed &
Don't use bandaids but, back in the days I was stressin' a grip
The only black in my class wonderin', where do I sit?
College campus too fast, now depression exists
Like I'm less than equipped, feelin' destined to quit
Then ya appeared, made me see myself without a mirror
See, I neva shared all the fears of my peers
I'm thinkin' about this African queen, luved her body
But she's mo' than just the back of her jeans, she's a magical dream
I feel hard wit such a frail heart
She taught me that Allah was just her way to spell God
And she was my American pie, so cultured
Her intelligence ahead of her time, looked at my face
And wit a smile called me Elephant Eyes, a secret nickname
Always seems to sit on my mind, cause I guess it reminds me of ya
Which reminds me of luv, which reminds me of truth
Which is all the above, recently liquors in my body, it's all on my tongue
I've changed into sumethin' they thought I'd neva become
Gave ya my food for thought, it's mo' than a plate of soul food
If ya want to change, got to escape yo own rules
Things change nigga
(Hook)
