Omen, J.Cole - Things Change lyrics

Yeah things change, things change
Things change nigga

Pick up the pen, time to write my sins away
Right my wrongs and then life goes on
Bitches be calling
Then mistakenly niggas be falling
I fuck them and I leave them
Forever picture me balling
With cash that I never had
I'm trying to stretch a million
Hoping it forever lasts
A fear of going broke
Cause most niggas I know can
Barely make the car note
Can barely keep the rent paid
So I'm like Da Vinci
Painting pictures to last centuries since
Like the 10th grade
Carolina nigga with New York plates
My template, switch states and swerve
Mixtapes was served
Get cake, absurd, and has big plates
Preferred you heard, my every word
Potentially could free us all
Now that's a heavy burden
Sometimes I'd rather get some head
And watch my wealth grow
Cause things change
Am I the same one you fell for?
One side screaming "hell no" other side
Holding 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 getting used to me
Cause things change
I'm still getting used to me
I ain't that old shy nigga that I used to be
Bitches watching niggas plotting on me
Truthfully
Gotta be careful what you wish for
As you can see things change
Things change, it'll never be the same
I've never been the one to settle
It'll never be the same
(yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same
It'll never be the same (Things change)
Nothing ever stays the same

I told you, raindrops do fall but see
These clouds ain't the same that you saw
My memory banks got some pain to withdraw
I am not afraid, I am not unscathed and
Don't use bandaids but
Back in the days I was stressing a grip
The only black in my class wondering
Where do I sit? College campus too fast
Now depression exists
Like I'm less than equipped
Feeling destined to quit then you appeared
Made me see myself without a mirror
See, I never shared all the fears of my peers
I'm thinking about this African queen
Loved her body but she's more than just the
Back of her jeans, she's a magical dream
I felll hard with 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 with a smile called me Elephant Eyes
A secret nickname
Always seems to settle my mind
Cause I guess it reminds me of you
Which reminds me of love
Which reminds me of truth
Which is all the above, recently
Liquors in my body, it's all on my tongue
I changed into something they
Thought I'd never become
Give you my food for thought
It's more than a plate of soul food
If you wanna change
Gotta escape your own rules
Things change nigga
Things change, it'll never be the same
I've never been the one to settle
It'll never be the same
(yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same
It'll never be the same (Things change)
Nothing ever stays the same
(Things change baby) hey
