Stay the Same Lyrics by Phrase

Clockwork

2009

[Verse 1]
Yeah, dear everybody that's close to me
It's probably been a long while since she's spoke with me
Lately, I noticed that I've been hopelessly
Trying to fill the shoes that the man I'm supposed to be
Most of me wishes I could turn back time
To the booth where I never had a burnt-out rhyme
To the truth where I never had a learnt-that-lie
That the sun shines brighter if you touch the sky
Cause thе only thing that happens when you touch the sky
Is thе fall back to Earth seems twice as high
And everyone expects that I'm twice the guy
Then the shoes you gotta fill seem twice the size
And they want more money, more raps and more shows
They want more from me, more tracks and more flows
So for now I'm on the grind, I gotta chat from the booth
But I got mad love for everyone and that's the truth, the truth

[Chorus]
The world can't turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change
The world can't turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change

[Verse 2]
To be honest, I miss things like running amok
With the clue in the yards, all chucking them up
Hitting some booze at a bar, I'm rushing a pup
If sucker crews got smart, we were fucking them up
Light pop tills, hot cars, hot pills
Got scars, got burnt, got ill
They like, "Phrase young, but the boy got skilled"
Learned to battle, earned my spot on Revolver bills
And ain't a damn thing changed since I burnt that kid
Ain't a damn thing changed since I learned that risk
Learned to spit, learned to write, learned to fight
Uh-huh, the shit, I had to learn that quick
Now I'm not trying to put it back to what it was before
A man can't resist change when it moves and falls
Like you can't abort ship when your crew's on board
For full sales, fuck the weather, let the music soar
It soars

[Chorus]
The world can't turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change
The world can't turn around
I will stay the same
I'll always be around
I will never change

[Verse 3]
To everybody I've been missing
To the kids in the park, God bless your life
To my fellas at parks, God bless your life
To my boy Nate Smith, hope you reach your light
And to my man Big Jeeps, hope you rest in quiet
To my crooked eye fan, God bless your life
And to my fam, I am now set to fly
To the kid, Ill L, you next in line
To everybody in my life, God bless your time

[Outro]
Okay, so listen, I'll tell you something
The truth that brings you here
Me, you, all the kids out there like you
We don't matter, society doesn't care about us
They couldn't give us stuff about us
To them, we're undesirables, scumbags
We're a threat, we're the waste they flush down the shitter
The vermin, they'd exterminate if they could
