Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah.
Just another day in America. Politics, holla tips, fentanyl, rocket ships.
Scholarships, ownership, partnerships.
My partner heard this shit, told me to drop this shit. Yeah. The. 223 came with binoculars.
Told her if you love me, tat my name on your esophagus. That's right, you guessed it, dawg. A blessing, dawg.
Raised around techs and all. I still try to share extras, y'all.
But if I say no, it's like I never said yes at all. I ain't gon' lie, I miss big sis and the quad.
I miss pop telling me that we was eye for eye, roof for a roof, dawg, roof for a roof. He died right in front of me, I still don't know what to do.
Told you we are not the same, I am nothing like you.
And if I talk about the pain I overcame, -it's a salute. Yeah. -I'm not the same.
I'm not the same, not the same. Some things have changed, oh, I'm not the same.
And if I learned anything, anything.
It's that if the world ain't get to know better, guess I better -get mine, get mine. -Truth be told, I used to look up to Rome.
He was rapping before me and he was fucking all the hoes.
Nigga go work the store, my big bro was J Brown. Shy said only way to come up is to stay down, huh.
Plans to get rich, but they ain't come to fruition.
Man, I had to pack my shit, I ain't had to pay tuition. Uh, eighty-five south on the way to the gum. I watched the
Hawks way back when Dominique double pumped.
Uh, hit her right quick on the seat, double pump. Uh, knock a nigga right off his feet, double pump, yeah.
Dollar was the husband to be, I was the best man.
Niggas had that garbage-ass weed, I had the trash can. Player's circle for life, nigga never forget it.
Fifty-five forty, we was handling business. God help us accept the things we can't change.
From trapping in the rain to on the stage with Wayne.
I'm not the same. I'm not the same, not the same.
Some things have changed, oh, I'm not the same.
And if I learned anything, anything.
It's that if the world ain't get to know better, guess I better -get mine, get mine.
-You know, once you get a little change, they gon' say you changed.
But you're not supposed to stay the same.
You hear niggas say, "Man," you know, like, "But I'm the same, ain't nothing changed," you know, like, that mentality right there. You know, I can't knock it.
You know, I ain't against it. I understand where it's coming from.
Shit.
Why would I still think the same when the motion different?
When the ocean different?
-When the lotion different. -I'm not the same.
I'm not the same, not the same.
Some things have changed, oh, I'm not the same.
And if I learned anything, anything.
It's that if the world ain't get to know better, guess I better get mine, get mine.
Oh, get mine, get mine.
Get mine.
