[00:00.121] You gotta talk to niggas in the language they can understand
[00:02.055] (That's how it always been)
[00:05.142] It's crazy I got Al up this late, ha (That's how it always been)
[00:10.950] Ayo, some shit you ain't gon' never change, so don't worry 'bout it
[00:13.635] (That's how it always been)
[00:15.383] It's the way it always been
[00:16.504] Real shit though
[00:17.483] Yo, word to every block in my city, they heard I got it
[00:20.872] And my track record certainly show I deserve the homage
[00:23.618] And they refer to my shit like Malcolm X, words of knowledge
[00:26.524] Cookin' coke, burnin' product was only a learnin' process
[00:29.418] Steppin' on a brick of fentanyl before you heard about it
[00:32.379] And my phone used to ring so much you get nervous 'round me
[00:35.387] Cut ties with the game, the same shit that certified me
[00:38.235] All my clientele gone, miss the customer service by me
[00:41.160] Yeah, they just like me, all my pie flippers
[00:43.721] Ties to Virginia like Teddy Riley, since rap I been treadin' lighty
[00:46.959] They mad I'm back rappin' 'bout dope again, never mind me
[00:50.006] The pressure from my pen made them rap a lil' better, finally
[00:52.910] They crooked, bendin' the rules, rappers I considered them cool
[00:55.659] But when you talkin' most authentic, then who gon' fit in my shoes?
[00:58.482] I'm livin' my truth, sky is the only limit I knew
[01:01.324] From drug dealin' to music, I mean, what didn't I do?
[01:04.387] Who didn't I put on? Took Ls and then I regroup
[01:07.352] On a shoestring budget, I showed them what I could do
[01:10.342] Ask Jake and ask Cap 'bout the bosses that I produced
[01:13.272] I'm West best investment, but that's between me and you (Ah)
[01:17.396] Always been that way (That's how it always been)
[01:19.389] Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change
[01:21.436] Just continue straight ahead
[01:23.122] That's the one thing that's never gonna change
[01:30.246] The way things have always been
[01:33.301] Had to quit blazin' cigarettes (Uh-huh)
[01:34.633] Was two-timin' my dame, I'm a bigamist
[01:36.598] But the gang half of the blame
[01:38.055] I live with regret (Yeah), my brain a bit of a wreck
[01:40.432] All this stress and strain left it disconnect (Woah)
[01:42.739] Cheffin' up all the 'caine in that kitchenette (Skrrt)
[01:44.947] Acquainted with big execs who filthied up my name just to split a check (Whatever)
[01:48.672] Feel like I been betrayed by my silhouette (Yeah), mistakes was made to correct
[01:52.221] How I deal with the fame made me get upset (Ayy)
[01:54.352] Treated the same way that I lived with death, shit weighin' a nigga down
[01:57.940] Refrainin' from different stages of self-neglect
[02:00.468] Give me chills in my veins, takin' whatever's left (Woah, cold)
[02:03.423] From everything that was tooken in blatant disrespect
[02:06.332] For good, better, best, wouldn't trade it for less (Whatever)
[02:09.431] Took everything that came with it, and that came with a check (Big money)
[02:12.352] But yet and still a nigga rich off pain and depressed
[02:15.105] Chasin' a letterhead, ain't got a case to catch
[02:17.981] David Blaine with the press, tame the dog and made it fetch
[02:21.196] What else?
[02:22.811] Come on, that shit ain't never gonna change
[02:26.114] It's been goin' on since the beginning of time
[02:27.831] That's the one thing that's never gonna change
[02:34.557] The way things have always been
