Change
K Camp Lyrics

I was six years old
I remember being young and riding in the car with my dad.

Riding shotgun in a old school with my dad
I remember sitting in the front seat of my dad's old car and feeling small.

Memories that I hold on to
These memories are important to me and I keep them close.

'Cause really those the only ones that I had
These memories are all I have left from that time in my life.

They used to call me Lil' Rock
My nickname was Lil' Rock, probably because my head was big and my body was small.

Skinny big head nigga with a rock
I was a small-bodied kid with a big head, but I was tough and held my own.

And I ain't talkin' 'bout the hard
I wasn't talking about drugs, even though my family kept some hidden in their socks.

Even though my fam used to keep the grams in the socks, damn
My family used to keep drugs hidden in their socks, but I wasn't involved in that.

It was me, lil Brandon and Nene
My friends were Brandon and Nene, and we would always run around outside.

Outside running wild, fuck TV
We would rather run around and play outside than watch TV.

On 13th all the way the 49th and Chambers
We would run around the neighborhood from 13th street all the way to 49th and Chambers.

Shout out to my lil cuz Veve
This is a shout out to my little cousin Veve.

And my uncle Jerome
This is a shout out to my uncle Jerome.

One time for my uncle Jerome
I want to give a shout out to my uncle Jerome one more time.

In the basement smoking cigarettes with Tyrique
I remember smoking cigarettes in the basement with my cousin Tyrique when my uncle wasn't around.

I think we did that when unc wasn't home
I'm pretty sure we only did that when my uncle wasn't home.

47th and Lloyd, first time I got jumped on the porch
I remember getting jumped for the first time on my porch at 47th and Lloyd.

Hit the oldest one with the one two, bink bink
I hit the oldest person attacking me with a punch and a follow-up punch.

Other one ran up, left his ass right there on the porch
The other attacker ran away after I hit the first one.

Hell is you saying?
What are you talking about?

Lil Jeff turned me into a man
My older brother Jeff helped me become more independent and mature.

That was big bro, that was big cuz
Jeff was like a big brother and cousin to me.

Everything to a nigga now he gone
Jeff was a major influence on me, but he's since passed away.

Guess God had a plan, I don't understand
I don't know why Jeff had to die, but I trust that there was a plan for him and for me.

Lord why you do me this way?
Why did God take Jeff away from me?

You live and you learn
I'm still learning from my experiences and growing as a person.

Them tables will turn, them bridges will burn
People's fortunes can change, and relationships can become strained or broken.

But through it all, just make a way
No matter what happens, I need to find a way to overcome it and succeed.

I'm here to stay and I'ma do it for my city like the mayor
I'm dedicated to my hometown and want to succeed and make a name for myself here.

Real north-side nigga living life like my grandaddy Charles
I come from the north side of my city and am inspired by my grandpa, Charles.

Let me talk to 'em
I have something important to say and want to address my listeners directly.

Plenty nights when I felt all alone, nobody to lean on
There have been many nights when I felt lonely and like I had nobody to support me.

Listen up, let me tell you how it feel
I want to share my feelings and experiences with my listeners.

Look, I just tell it how it is, everybody claim they real
I'm honest and upfront about my experiences, but others might not be as genuine.

On the real these niggas ain't ever been real
A lot of people talk a big game, but they're not actually genuine or authentic.

I'm just living my life, I'm just doing my thang
I'm just doing what I need to do to live my life and succeed.

Same nigga from the jump
I'm still the same person I was when I started my journey.

Baby I ain't gon' change
I'm not going to compromise who I am or change myself for anybody else.

Man fuck everybody do you
I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'm going to do what's best for me.

Baby I ain't gon' change
Once again, I'm not going to change who I am for anyone else.

Still ridin' 'round with my day one niggas
I still hang out with my closest friends from the beginning of my journey.

We don't need new niggas in the crew
We're content with the friends we have and don't need anyone else in our group.

One time for my nigga Dan
I want to give a shout out to my friend Dan.

That was my first friend second grade, Mrs. Blue
Dan was my first friend when I started school in second grade in Mrs. Blue's class.

I don't do too much, nigga just say what's up, man salute when you see me
I'm not looking for attention or trying to impress anyone, just acknowledge me with a respectful greeting.

These niggas upset 'cause they heard I got next
My peers might be jealous or spiteful because they know I'm destined for success.

I keep cheese like Fellini's
I always have money and keep my pockets full like a famous Italian restaurant.

Back in the day I used to be a hot head
I used to be quick to anger when I was younger.

Like I'm walkin' 'round with a beanie
I sometimes still have that same hot-headedness and wear a beanie to hide my emotions.

In the middle of the summer
Even in the hot summer months, I wear a beanie to hide my emotions.

I'm just tryna score, nigga, no time to fumble
I'm focused on my goals and don't have time for any setbacks or mistakes.

It's game time, everybody on ten
It's time to get serious, and everyone is ready and focused.

We just tryna get this money at the same time
We're all working hard to make money and succeed together.

I ain't claimin' what ain't mine
I'm not trying to take credit for someone else's success or achievements.

Got your girl on the edge like the state line
I might have a romantic interest who is on the fence about being with me or not.

Ain't no mo play time
It's time to get serious and stop playing around.

Fighting for the money, how much hustle
We're all competing for the same money and need to work hard and hustle to come out on top.

I'ma get my bitch to respect my hustle forreal
I want to earn my significant other's respect and show them how hard I'm working for our future.

What's the point of getting that money?
What's the purpose of having money?

Money ain't money, if your life don't change
Money isn't worth it if it doesn't positively impact your life in some way.

What's the point of pushing that whip
What's the purpose of having an expensive car?

If you ain't changing lanes?
If you're not making progress or moving forward?

What's the point of having any girl
What's the purpose of having a girlfriend?

If your bitch don't change?
If your significant other doesn't help you grow or change in positive ways?

What's the point of staying the same
What's the purpose of remaining stagnant or not growing as a person?

If everything around you change?
If everything else in your life is constantly evolving or changing?

I've changed, I've changed, I've changed, I've changed
I've grown and evolved as a person over time.

All I need is change
All I need is to keep growing and improving.

You don't need nobody, you don't need nobody
You don't need anyone else in your life to be happy or successful.

They don't want to be here, they ain't got to be here
If someone doesn't want to be a part of your life, that's okay, they don't have to be.

You don't need nobody, you don't need nobody
Once again, you don't need anyone else in your life to be happy or successful.

They don't want to be here, they ain't got to be here
If someone doesn't want to be a part of your life, that's okay, they don't have to be.
