[Intro: Phonte] Woo! Uh, Illmind, aiyyo man I don't know what the f*ck they thought this was gon' be y'knahmsayin but It's like, it's like y'knahmsayin When you be sittin' back listenin' to shit like this Y'know you start takin' inventory Like I know niggaz is boppin' and shit I know niggaz is feelin' it but like yo This is what I been through in the past year This is where I'm at with my shit now, yo listen [Phonte] I used to do it for the fans 'Til I realized that they'd never understand What I was feelin' as a man, fickle as Trav' Bickle They either hatin' you or they they'll stand Then I said I'd do it for my fam 'Til I realized that they didn't give a damn I stepped out of they comfort zone Now I can't step, can't step inside my mother's home Situation so nuts So much for tryin to be a man Then I said I'd do it for the props 'Til I realized that the props always seem to stop When niggaz can't keep you all to they self Take you home, put you in they little box Then I said I'd do it for my city 'Til I realized that I shoulda been warned I stepped inside the ring, rockin' my best apparel Ma, I own the sparrow, but this torero Couldn't take the bull city by the horns So now I'm back on my me shit Cause me and my team gon' make it do what it do Had a long hard talk with my nigga Jazzy Jeff He said, "F*ck 'em 'Te, do it for you! " So I'm doin it to Lay up, lay back, in my room with a view Wanna handle my biz on the low, keep it respectable Make my music, keep it professional I know you hate it, what the f*ck else is new? [Chorus] Oh, they say it's in the music People turn they backs and your friends won't do shit Feel like a nigga can't win for losing But they still can't stop the movement Hey! They say it's in the music People turn they backs and your friends won't do shit Feel like a nigga can't win for losing But they still can't stop the stop They can't stop the stop They can't stop the, oh! [Rapper Big Pooh] I had to sit and assess Why all my favorite groups is a mess Then I'm like they probably split for the best They had to make room for the rest Now we on the brink of success Niggaz gettin' praised by the press Niggaz gettin' backed by Qwest, LB is the new conquest Throwback sound that's fresh, oh yes! Everybody's hitched to the wagon, best kept secret Somebody leaked it, inked with a major Watch how they freak it, gotta show the people we can keep it - tight Deep down though felt somethin' wasn't right Gotta keep pushin' despite That everybody changed overnight When them numbers came back light Now we outta mind, outta sight Me and 'Te still doin' it right! [Chorus] [Outro] Yeah! The great Sam Cooke sang to the world "A change is gon' come" I believe a change is here The change is right now I wanna give a shout out, to my people that, helped me weather the storm Y'knahmsayin, my man Pretty Tony, Uncle Joc, O-Dash We ride together forever my niggaz Yeah...
