See, it's crazy, 'cause people be thinkin that I be changin, but it's really them [that be changin],
(yo) I remember the day, I first signed my record deal with Loud... everything was so good, everyone was so proud
I was so very happy, stood with my baby daddy...
We livin with my granny, but we was all family.
It's like wen the tour began, that's wen the war began...he would be flippin, rippin soon as I'm walkin in.
And I'm so sleepy, could barely stay awake, you don't understand, I been in the studio for six weeks straight... till 4 in the mornin tryna finish these songs
N all you wanna talk about is how many times you was callin
N I'm always lyin...it's never the truth...it never crossed you're mind that I couldve been in the booth??
...Tryna hurry up n get back home to you, tryna get these checks so we could get out the 'jects
I wasn't thinkin bout no niggas, wasn't thinkin bout sex..tryna do this show so I could get this dough.
All I was thinkin was I gott finish Remy on the rocks n I'm not tryina flop so it gotta be hot...
Everybody on my back sayin hurry up n drop so I'm askin you, wut I'm suppose to do?

[CHORUS]

Listen y'all, I kno it seem like I be dissin y'all,
I'm jus tryina reach my goals and remain focused but
Ain't shit changed, naw, I'm still the same
So wish me well,
Sometimes I might scream and yell...
But even people with a fan base have bad days but
Ain't shit changed, for real, I'm still the same.

[Yo] You was the only child, until I came
See we was buckwild back in the days...
I was scared to have a boyfriend 'cause you would beat him up,
We'd eat cereal together, watch cartoons wen we got up
So I couldnt believe that you flipped on me right in the streets for a bitch so weak that ain't got shit but
A fucked up weave n I'm your blood, your little sister, I started to cry... said it must be the liquor,
See I almost died wen you took sides with her then walked off, and just left me there, like I was nobody n you really ain't care.
Said you would die for me, how you ain't gon ride wit me, how you see me on the block and don't say hi to me??
It's all love now, n its all done now, but you never took the time to apoligize to me...
It may be hard to see, but it bothers me... I know you ain't gon let nobody do no harm to me...
But you can't be actin like you fathered me...so I'm askin you, wut I'm suppose to do??

[CHORUS]

Listen y'all, I kno it seem like I be dissin y'all,
I'm jus tryina reach my goals and remain focused but
Ain't shit changed, naw, I'm still the same
So wish me well,
Sometimes I might scream and yell...
But even people with a fan base have bad days but
Ain't shit changed, for real, I'm still the same.


Mommy... you was the one that named me, but you didn't raise me...
You left me all alone, I had to home my own,
But now I'm all grown n far away from home
I kno you love me, but you did me wrong...
I guess it was all the drugs that you was on or the beatings you got from my foul step pops...
Remember the time his punk ass had the nerve to raise his hands to me bitch nigga blackin my eye...
I was wishin he would die, now I wish him life.
I kno he seein me blowin, and its killin him slowly, but what kills me is that you watched him hit me,
So I'm askin you, wut I'm suppose to do??

[CHORUS]
Listen y'all, I kno it seem like I be dissin y'all,
I'm jus tryina reach my goals and remain focused but
Ain't shit changed, naw, I'm still the same
So wish me well,
Sometimes I might scream and yell...
But even people with a fan base have bad days but
Ain't shit changed, for real, I'm still the same.
