Not the Same Songtext
von Cam Groves

Things changed since I got in the game
I look back and it′s not the same
I mean I'm not complaining
I got a lot to say
But some days wanna stop and just walk away
I think beyond Hip-Hop and me
Then I wake up in the morning like "not today"
I′m thinking long term, need my options weighed
As the clock tick-tocks away, yo it's not the same


I love music and pursuing it still
But these days only proving that I'm losing my will
Keep the needle on the groove and improving my skill
But it isn′t lucrative enough to cover the bills
I′m too old to be chasing trends
I'm too old to be making friends
I wonder where the days in the basement went
But life changed, it became about making ends
And now I′m stressed when I'm doing whatever
So I learned that the less that I′m doing the better
So I rhyme genuine, stay truer than leather
And give a fuck about fame, only two of the letters
I think about it now a decent amount
But it isn't quite my time to say "peace and be out"
Maybe it′s the season, give me reason to doubt
But some days I don't even feel like leaving the house, it goes

Things changed since I got in the game
I look back and it's not the same
I mean I′m not complaining
I got a lot to say
But some days wanna stop and just walk away
I think beyond Hip-Hop and me
Then I wake up in the morning like "not today"
I′m thinking long term, need my options weighed
As the clock tick-tocks away, yo it's not the same


I got a real job, don′t love it as dear
I'm like twelve years deep in that other career
Every time I wanna quit I′m presented with fear
'Cause I′m trying to buy a house by the end of the year
I'm scared of hell of the day, but it's well under way
What the hell can I say? I′m overwhelmed, under-paid
I wish in one case something fell into place
Blaze an L to the face, say "the hell with the race"
I got dope flows, got ′em by the boatload
Will something cool ever happen? Man, I hope so
I ain't trying to sing the blues, no Bo-Po
Sick of always trying to please the people that I don′t know
'Cause what rappers do for fans now is insane
I′m feeling more out of touch like an inmate
Every situation two-sided like a yin-yang
If one thing in life stays the same it's that things change

Things changed since I got in the game
I look back and it′s not the same
I mean I'm not complaining
I got a lot to say
But some days wanna stop and just walk away
I think beyond Hip-Hop and me
Then I wake up in the morning like "not today"
I'm thinking long term, need my options weighed
As the clock tick-tocks away, yo it′s not the same
