[Chorus]
We need to change our ways, doing the same thing we did yesterday
Making beats, getting high, chasing freaks, feeling fine
It’s still the same old s*it (The same old s*it), but I think we ain’t gon’ quit
Making a rhyme, climbing a hill, staying alive, trying to live
(Once in a while, I get in my head too much) Just trying to live
(And that’s when I call, hoping you appear God) That’s all it is

[Interlude]
Brr, brr
The voice message-

[Verse]
Bruh, how the fu*k you got so rich and yet you wear the same fits?
And pair a sneaks’ like every week ’cause I don’t care to change s*it
I’m likе a creature o’ habit, plus what’s the point burning brеad?
When like a creek in yo’ attic, I still be turning yo’ head
Just to confirm if that dreadheaded, tall fella is Cole
I try to walk with the hoodie, whether the weather is cold
Whether the weather is warm, it’s just to cover the form
When doing regular things, try to repel getting swarmed
But yesterday I was driving, Trap Muzik album did blast
Took me back to a time when I was down in my laugh
Was rapping T.I.P. rhymes, then I looked down at the dash
Oh s*it, I’m tripping, reminiscing, damn near ran out of gas
I pulled into this lil’ station that I had seen on the ave
And the peculiar hood, in unfamiliar paths
I got no hoodie, it’s bad, hopped out and went to the pump
I pushed the 93 button, felt like a sitting lil’ duck
While looking over my shoulder, I heard this dude on the corner
Sound like he talking to me, “Hey, bro, you smoke mar!juana?”
“I got that pack if you need and I can smell the aroma”
I told him, “Nah I’m aight, I never once was a stoner”
The tank was taking so long to fill up, I thought it was broke
Could feel the curiosity coming from buddy that spoke
Right then he start to approach, “Hey, bro, you look real familiar”
I said, “I get that a lot”

As he got close, it got clearer
“Oh s*it, that’s Cole, n!gga, wait
What you doing over this way?
Bro, I was just 13 years old when I got hold of your tape
I tried to put n!ggas on, but they was slow to go play
Bro, you the GOAT, they didn’t know then, but bet they know it today
I need a flick right quick, ’cause dawg, I don’t even know what to say
To make a dollar bill right now I’m out here throwing bouquets
Slanging flowers, but I played your albums and know it’s a way
I played your s*it when bro got hit, it helped me cope with the pain
I played your s*it when momma tripped and I had nowhere to stay
I swear I feel like you was wit’ me in my loneliest phase”
The love he showed me was so strong, it damn near blowed me away
See even I be needing reminders on my loneliest day, that I should live in my purpose
If I deliver my verses and get the fu*k out my way, I’ll figure out what to say
Some days I forget to eat, some days I forget to pray
I get a whole lot of love, some days I focus on hate
I took a selfie with dawg, then gave the longest embrace
Then look him right in his face to let him know that this thanks was from a genuine place
‘Cause this continuous race to be the best, believe your step, then add a strenuous pace
Till you forget who you is and you forget who you ain’t
Before you know it you’re trapped inside that picture you paint
This life is more than just rap, more than the b!tches you scrape
More than the riches you stack, see, it’s the difference you make
Yeah, it’s the difference you make
Yeah, it’s the difference you make
Yeah, it’s the difference you-

[Chorus]
We need to change our ways, doing the same thing we did yesterday
Making beats, getting high, chasing freaks, feeling fine
It’s still the same old s*it (The same old s*it), but I think we ain’t gon’ quit
Making a rhyme, climbing a hill, staying alive, trying to live
Just trying to live
That’s all it is
