Things Change (feat. 50 Cent & Lloyd Banks)

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

All money ain't good money, this I know

But I still love hood money, I gets my dough

And as a youngster, a **** went to so much church

And still turn't out fucked up, I did so much dirt

Chose to bang the neighborhood, I put in so much work

Did a whole a lot of time caused mom so much hurt

On everything, that boy wasn't gunned on purpose

Who knew that all my darkness was really gon' surface

I was stuck on that bullshit, just runnin' the streets

Without some type of beef, the week wasn't complete

It's like that **** felt better after dumpin' his heat

On feet, just to see that body slumped in the seat

Was like a whole 'nother rush to me, bustin' was sweet

Now I'm smarter, I'm all about somethin' to eat

I'm on the road, spend 30 days a month in the suite

But I'm still gon' hustle and cheat, let's go

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

Now walkin' down the block without your weapon

Is a first class ticket to a lesson

I thirst cash, kick it to perfection

Me and Ben got a connection

That's why I bring the Benz out to impress him

Caught in my zone, all alone

Homes rattle in my bones

'Cause he yappin' off his lips and if I hit him, I'll be wrong

'Cause he ain't never gon' be shit, and I done worked so hard

But I will make you a corn on the cob

You'll be performing for God

Either that or rob you on your boulevard

Bet you never thought for a second ****'ll pull your card, God

I'm on my job, scarred since my **** gone

HP tatted on me, so his memory lives on

Engagin' in drama without your bomber

Will be funeral arrangements for your mama

I learned that when I was in pajamas

Watchin' Michael and Madonna

Now I got the appetite of a piranha, ****

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

What nobody knows, all the roads you go through

You can't even talk to those that supposedly know you

Some of the levels that these people'll go to for crumbs

Damn, tell me, is this what that dough do?

That's when you find yourself talkin' to Pro Tools

There's not too many that ever walked in the Loc shoes

Or tell the tale that my heart contains

I explain, so many different parts of pain

I'm clean, but still some marks remain

From the past, when that kush weed sparks the brain

The cash made some people start to change

I feel hate when I pulled up and parked the Range

You're damn right, I got rich

But my heart the same

And practice makes perfect with the art of aim

You ain't really got the heart to bang

You ain't start to hang till you found out I caught the chian

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem

****, things change, never stay the same

Now watch me come up

I hustle, I hustle even harder

I put that work in to win, no problem
