Omen - Things Change Lyrics
[Intro: J. Cole]Yeah things change, things changeThings change nigga[Verse 1: J. Cole]Pick up the pen, time to write my sins awayRight my wrongs and then life goes on***** be calling, then mistakenly niggas be fallingI ***** them and I leave them, forever picture me ballingWith cash that I never had, I'm trying to stretch a millionHoping it forever lasts, a fear of going brokeCause most niggas I know can barely make the car noteCan barely keep the rent paid, so I'm like Da VinciPainting pictures to last centuries since like the 10th gradeCarolina nigga with New York platesMy template, switch states and swerve, mixtapes were servedGet cake, absurd, and has big plates, preferredYou heard, my every wordPotentially can free us all, now that's a heavy burdenSometimes I'd rather get some head and watch my wealth growCause things change, am I the same one you fell for?One side screaming "hell no" other side holding on for dear lifeLately nigga I feel like, I ain't that young frail nigga that I used to bePardon my ways girl, I'm still getting used to meCause things change, I'm still getting used to meI ain't that old shy nigga that I used to be*****es watching niggas plotting on me, truthfullyGotta be careful what you wish for, as you can seeThings change[Hook: Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)]Things change, it'll never be the sameI've never been the one to settle, it'll never be the same(Yeah, things change)Nothing ever stays the same, it'll never be the same(Things change)Nothing ever stays the same[Verse 2: Omen]I told you, raindrops do fallBut see, these clouds ain't the same that you sawMy memory banks got some pain to withdrawI am not afraid, I am not unscathed andDon't use bandaids but, back in the days I was stressing a gripThe only black in my class wondering, where do I sit?College campus too fast, now depression existsLike I'm less than equipped, feeling destined to quitThen you appeared, made me see myself without a mirrorSee, I never shared all the fears of my peersI'm thinking about this African queen, loved her bodyBut she's more than just the back of her jeans, she's a magical dreamI feel hard with such a frail heartShe taught me that Allah was just her way to spell GodAnd she was my American pie, so culturedHer intelligence ahead of her time, looked at my faceAnd with a smile called me Elephant Eyes, a secret nicknameAlways seems to sit on my mind, cause I guess it reminds me of youWhich reminds me of love, which reminds me of truthWhich is all the above, recently liquors in my body, it's all on my tongueI've changed into something they thought I'd never becomeGave you my food for thought, it's more than a plate of soul foodIf you wanna change, gotta escape your own rulesThings change nigga[Hook: Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)]Things change, it'll never be the sameI've never been the one to settle, it'll never be the same(Yeah, things change)Nothing ever stays the same, it'll never be the same(Things change)Nothing ever stays the same(Things change baby)Hey
