[Verse 1: IntelliGENT)
Lemme throw it back to my old life ,spitting fire on cold nights
Writing raps over Drizzy beats, busy generatin' my own hype
Content dawg it was kinda weak, Ain't afraid to admit that
I was taught to never settle
So I took the script, and then flipped that
I buckled down
The voice in my head said don't f** around
For all the ones who chuckled loud
Just take a look at who's stuntin now
Fast Forward just a lil bit, time skip like a year or two
Gettin buzz off these lil raps, that I wrote trying to appeal to you (Ooh)
You hear me out and you know it's true;
After all this time, I'm still me
Never tuned into that chit chat
Them sticks and stones won't k** me
A whole lot changed between then and now
From all the little thoughts I was penning down
Got a couple years up under the belt
But it's like the sh**'s just beginning now
(yeah)
No cheap tricks , no cheap thrills
On every beat build, you get the real me
And that's real sh**, you feel me?
n***as changed, but I never changed
On everything I'm still me
