Changes
Lute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wear my heart on the sleeve
You only call when you need shit
People change like the seasons
I've been fightin' back my demons
Despite the blessings I'm receiving
Fuck these niggas I don't need 'em
Just me and a dollar, got brown in my bottle
My bitches gon' swallow if you know what I mean
The circle got smaller, my money got taller
My grandma say, "Watch who you put on your team"
I follow my face and pick myself up
And I'm back on my feet like I told you I would
Skrrt, skrrt, what's good?
We outta here, no fear
Get that outta here
Turned up, this was our year
Skrrt, skrrt, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you with me give me hell, yeah
Put a lighter in the air, yeah
Pour some liquor for your year, yeah
Call me Lute West, double suplex
'Cause a nigga at your neck, boy
Like fuck a vest
Niggas too pussy to make me stress
Say less, boy

Judgin' from the things I've seen
Shit ain't never how it seems
Gotta read the lines in between
Remember my OG told me that
The money always change the people
'Round you more than it change you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Nah, it ain't just in my name
This shit deep in my vains
No matter how much I make
I'ma still be the same because
The money always change the people
'Round you more than it change you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

El Dorados with the top down
Extendo clips hold thirty rounds
All love when I hit the town
Ain't no point in really slowin' down
Mama told me gotta hold my head
I know you could, hope you see it now
Just remember what your mama said
I seen it then, hope you be it now

I don't switch lanes
I don't switch up, big whips, big commas
Big drip, no drama
No harm, no karma
This why a nigga just get it and go
I just pick up where I started, some nights see me hauling
It is what it is 'cause I never fold
The music is charted I guess I'm a artist
I gotta make sure that my story is told
Niggas fallin' for the hype
Niggas think they know my life
All this drip and with the ice
Shorty lookin' like my type
Wipe me down for the night
Out of mind, out of sight
I've been doing what I like
I done spent a bag, I done got it back twice
So back the fuck up, you don't know me
If you love me, gotta show me
Had to break ties with the old me
Seen a lot of people foldin', yeah
That's why I keep my circle close, yeah
That's why I do it for the foe, yeah

Judgin' from the things I've seen
Shit ain't never how it seems
Gotta read the lines in between
Remember my OG told me that
The money always change the people
'Round you more than it change you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Nah, it ain't just in my name
This shit deep in my vains
No matter how much I make
I'ma still be the same because
The money always change the people
'Round you more than it change you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

El Dorados with the top down
Extendo clips hold thirty rounds
All love when I hit the town
Ain't no point in really slowin' down
Mama told me gotta hold my head
I know you could, hope you see it now




Just remember what your mama said
I seen it then, hope you be it now

Thank you Lute for everything man since 2018 you’ve helped me countless times! Hopefully Gold Mouf will be a vinyl one day! One of the best albums of 2021 hands down. “Be Okay” “Overnight” “100” “Eye to Eye” and “Flossin” are personal favorites!

Zach Hacker

This album is wayyy to good not to be pressed into wax.
