Honestly, I'm sick to death of hearing the complaints Everybody wants to tell me how I've changed I think somehow I'm responsible for bodies fillin' graves If I made the songs they wanted, were they fans I could've saved? Man, that's a lot of weight Wait, I thought it would be great to entertain And now I understand why mumble rappers say the things they say They don't want any obligation to the fanbase they create I guess my morals won't allow me to be famous if it's fake
I barely made it, I was livin' in the ghetto, always prayin' My potential wouldn't go to waste before I could escape it I just had a mental breakdown, rent was due, I couldn't pay it Killin' roaches, scrapin' guts off all the plates and bein' patient, ayy
Livin' in the hood could've got me killed Kitchen full of rats, stomach never filled They cut off the lights, couldn't pay the bills I was always sick, couldn't buy the pills
Girlfriend almost left me We were broke and we were desperate Right before it got too heavy I went viral off a record, ayy
Never signed a deal, I did it on my own I made all the beats, I write every song They did not believe I'd knew it all along Told me I was weak, I showed 'em I was strong Never should've bet against me Thought my anxiety was gonna wreck me Thought my depression would get in my head for a second and leave But it never left me
Everybody says I changed up, changed up 'Cause I had nothin', then I came up, came up Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of So, say some, say some, whoa Ayy, yo, everything you say, bro I don't care, no, I don't care, bro Fame won't ever make me change, so I don't care, no, I don't care, no
Honestly, it's bothered me since I've become this famous People comment, like, I don't see what they're sayin' I get death threats every day, insult my family, call me garbage, call me racist Try to tell my therapist that I'm afraid, I can't explain it, uh
Back up, don't touch me, I'm anxious All of this money I'm bankin' Don't make me happy, I can't win Don't get it wrong, no, I'm thankful Wanted attention, it happened Pressure from standards established Amplified anger and sadness Can't deny that it did damage
Ayy, take the bucks I made, take off all the chains Take the braids out of my hair laser the tattoos off my face Stop comparing me to Hopsin, Token, NF, and Em' I think they're great, but so am I and I don't wanna be them
And I never change, but I'm not the same, I'm not the person that I was once Alcoholic, always callin' mama, always try to borrow 50 bucks, uh, ayy I put my parents in debt, I have embarrassed my friends I didn't care if I died, I was honestly hopeful that I wouldn't wake up again But I'm back now, knock me down to that mat, but now I stand proud Last round, believe me, I'm ready to scrap until they back down
Doctor gave me pills, told me I was sad Never took 'em though, threw 'em in the trash Made a couple mil', money doesn't last Tryna smile a bit, livin' in the past
Everybody says I changed up, I changed up 'Cause I had nothing, then I came up, came up Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of So say some, say some, whoa Ayy, yo, everything you say, bro I don't care, no, I don't care, bro Fame won't ever make me change, so I don't care, no, I don't care, no
See this Gucci? Yeah, I bought it, I'm no sell out homie, stop it This is symbol of the work I did that's finally acknowledged This is robbed at corner stores while getting soda and some chocolate This is bullied all my life by kids at school, I ain't forgot it This is profit that I got from sacrificing food and water This is dollars I had after finally paying back my father This is failing grades and skipping class and dropping out of college You can't stop me, that's your problem, I will get it if I want it
Stop tellin' me that I switched sides, my life changed, I'm a different guy My mama proud, my girl stoked, my sister happy I didn't die They're mad instead of sayin', "Tom, I wish you the best" Of course, I changed, I had to go and buy a bulletproof vest 'Cause I've been stressed, ya, I'm a mess, ya, I need rest, ya Wastin' energy on enemies I never met, ya I need meds, ya, I need bed, ya, what the heck? I should send a text to see if I still have some friends, ya
Now that I'm healthy and nobody helped me I wanna get every penny independent I'm a menace, I'ma wreck it All my records got a message, I'ma spread it And I'm still the person my mama nurtured To become this version, so shout out, Mom I don't ever sleep, every night is long Everything is on me, Tom
Everybody says I changed up, I changed up 'Cause I had nothing then I came up, came up Now I'm someone they're afraid of, afraid of So say some, say some, whoa Ayy, yo, everything you say, bro I don't care, no, I don't care, bro Fame won't ever make me change, so I don't care, no, I don't care, no
