Random (Mega Ran) - Same As It Ever Was (The Intro) lyrics

Northwest Philadelphia born and raised But the transient spirit wouldn't allow me to stay Still have dreams that I can return one day With a Grammy and a full ticker tape parade With blue streamers, and wise words for the dreamers Who heard us making plans and chose to believe us Feel like Ryu at the ending of Street Fighter 2 Keep it pushing, cause i did the best that I could do All you can, for the movement But the further you get it's just more confusing Feel like we had it on lock back in 06 Now the old dogs stilll expect the old tricks Music's the only thing you can't grow with I think about where I'll be when I pa** away A solo act like Tom Hanks in cast away Hemingway, meets Hardaway and Hathaway Throw the past away, and wake up and smash the day Shift my speed into hyper Trying to hit the target i hold my breath and squeeze like a sniper We finally made it, i got me a spot on Billboard Checked my Bank account yesterday, still poor They say you got the life most rappers would k** for Working 16 hour days and yet I'm still bored I put a rock on my lady hand 200 days after I told Kyle he was a crazy man But when I got that feeling I started making plans I'll probably never ever forget how that day began Hand shaking right now even thinking bout it But when you know you know it, you ain't gotta think about it They stream the shows now so the venues ain't as crowded But we're thinkers, we just gotta find a way around it But how's an artist supposed to pull rent When Spotify can't even give him a full cent Now I point the mic at the fans and they know the songs A beautiful feeling i fought for, for so long Now my name gets bigger on the party fliers Which means i get to play when everybody's tired Another year, new steps, new promenade Rest a**ured that it's honest as long as I'm involved So here I am, still doing my thang thang Same as it ever was, its just a name change Random
