[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
