Changes
Dej Loaf Lyrics

And my old friends couldn't keep up
My old friends couldn't keep up with my success and ambition

I'm not throwin' no shots but I'ma show you my guns
I'm not trying to start trouble, but I will show you what I am capable of doing

I'ma take my chances, I ain't bitin' my tongue
I'm going to take my chances and speak my mind without holding back

I'ma scream it to the top of my lungs
I am going to shout this from the rooftops to make sure everyone knows

If you ain't chasing your dreams what the fuck are you doin'
If you aren't actively pursuing your dreams, then what are you really doing with your life?

Tell me how is that fun
I'm genuinely curious, how is it enjoyable to not pursue your dreams?

Tell me what keeps you goin'
I want to know what motivates you to keep moving forward in life

I just wanna know
I'm simply curious and would like to understand

Fuck it, I'ma move on
I'm going to let go of the past and continue moving forward

In Detroit, cold as ever, why the fuck is it snowin'?
I know this is the norm for Detroit, but it's still frustrating to deal with

That's my city, though, shorty think you cool with that gun
Although that may be considered cool by some, it's not impressive to me

You a son of bitch
You are disrespectful and cowardly

You ain't tougher than nothin'
You're not as tough or cool as you're trying to appear

I can never be a benchwarmer
I refuse to sit on the sidelines and let others take control of my life

Niggas want beef bitch, fuck it, I'm George Forman
If people want to start trouble, I'll be ready to defend myself like George Forman

Diamonds dancing, gettin' better at performin'
I'm improving my craft and putting on better performances, which is reflected in the bling I can afford

I be working on my vocals all night, all morning
I spend a lot of time and effort perfecting my singing voice

No snorin', I want it, I warned you, I earned it
I won't rest until I get what I want, and I have worked hard to deserve it

Back when they were crackin' joke's and I ain't think shit was funny
I never found it amusing when people would make fun of me or doubt my abilities

Old friends that turned into strangers
Friends that I once knew have become distant and unrecognizable

Ex lovers mad that I'm famous
Former romantic partners are now jealous of my success

They see the picture I painted
They can see the life and success that I have created for myself

I been going through changes
I have been experiencing a lot of transformations and growth in my life

I prayed to God and I made it
I give credit to my faith for my success

Nobody did me no favor
I achieved all this on my own, and no one else helped me along the way

I'm sorry if you can't take it
If my success bothers you, then I am sorry, but I won't apologize for it

Ever since I was young, knew I was the one
I have always had a strong belief in my abilities and my destiny

Dazed in new wave, I'm just soaking it in
I'm still trying to make sense of the new experiences and opportunities that come with success

Funny how they said they want it back then
People who didn't believe in me or support me in the past are now trying to jump on the bandwagon

Once I got it, lotta shit started disappearin'
Success comes with its own set of challenges and conflicts, and some people may not stick around for it

How you carry yourself, how you speak within
Your behavior and words are a reflection of who you are, and I choose to portray myself positively

Anything negative ain't part of my plan
I won't allow negativity to bring me down or affect my progress

God chose me and I be God damned
I strongly believe that I was chosen by a higher power and I won't let anyone interfere with that

If I let another soul try to wheel me in
I won't let anyone hold me back from my goals or dictate my actions

If it was meant to be, you'd be right here
I trust that everything happens for a reason, and if someone is meant to be in my life, they will be

New phone, who dis? Ain't heard from you in years
I am no longer interested in communicating with or associating with people who have been absent from my life for a long time

And they could never call me selfish
I have always been generous and have given people many chances, so no one can accuse me of being selfish

Gave chances after chances
I have given people multiple opportunities to be a part of my life, but they have not taken them

Mama knows best, mama said they all jealous
My mother understands people's negative behavior towards me and recognizes it as jealousy

And I ain't gon' lie
I will be honest in this situation

That shit is scary when the people that you love
It's unsettling when the people you care about are not supportive or happy for you

Don't wanna see you flaunt
They don't want me to display my success or express my pride in my accomplishments

Don't wanna see you eat, they wanna take your porridge
They don't want me to have anything good in life, and may even try to take it away from me

Don't wanna see you different, they wanna see you normal
They want me to conform to societal norms and standards instead of being unique and successful in my own way

I just want my bro free, free man like Morgan
I want my friend or family member to be free and happy, like a liberated and successful individual

I'm blessed and I struggle, you don't know my story
I have experienced both good and bad times in life, and you shouldn't judge me unless you know what I've gone through

Yeah, and shit, soon, I'll be married
I am getting married soon and am excited about the future

Hope to see you and your children at my wedding, my baby
I would like the people I care about to attend my wedding and celebrate with me

I been going through changes
I have been experiencing a lot of positive transformations and growth in my life
