Yo (Ear Drummers!)
I ain't even got a blunt right now?
This ain't me
Who this is?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck? Huh?
Damn, I done came up, now a nigga stacking green
I could go and buy Supreme but I'm in love with Gucci jeans
Shawty in love with my steez, bring these bitches to their knees
I got all this fuckin' swag and I can't even
I can't even stop it, all these watches that I want
I stack it up, then cop it
Guess the lesson of the day is keep stackin' your dollar
And them bitches chasin' me so I ain't gotta holla
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck? Huh?
Ayy, I feel like Jay-Z the way I'm pulling strings
Feel like I wrote the book the way I'm running game
They think I'm a crook the way I'm takin'
I don't even wanna call a hoe 'cause she on go, ayy
Uncle Jxmmi fresh I'm talking head to toe
Ayy, I'm still puttin' on for Tupelo
Ayy, I treat a 20 like a groupie hoe
Head down, head up
Get down on the floor
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck? Huh?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
How I changed on ya?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never one of my homies
Tell me how?
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
When you're up
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
Tell me what the fuck? Huh?
In the song "Changed Up" by Rae Sremmurd, the rapper expresses his frustration towards those who are accusing him of changing. He begins by questioning his own identity, asking who he has become since he can't even find a blunt, which is a defining factor of his image. He then goes on to confront those who are blaming him for changing, and questions their loyalty by stating that they were never his close friends or allies. He expresses disappointment in how people only seem to want to be around you when you are up and nobody is there for you when you are down.
The second verse of the song features the rapper boasting about his success and riches, mentioning his love for Gucci jeans and how he has bitches chasing him. He advises to keep stacking one's dollar, and you will not have to chase anyone. The song ends with recognizing his success and fame, feeling like Jay-Z for pulling the strings and running the game. He concludes that everyone wants a part of his success, but he doesn't owe anyone anything since they were never there for him when he was down.
Overall, the song appears to be a response to accusations of changing, but the lyrics show that the rapper is comfortable with who he has become and is unapologetic for his success.

Who this is?
Who are you talking about?
Oh, you sayin' I done changed on ya
You're accusing me of changing
How I changed on ya?
How have I changed?
You were never one of my niggas
You were never my close friend
You were never one of my homies
You were never my homie
Tell me how?
Explain yourself
I said damn, e'rrbody want a piece
Everyone wants a piece of me
When you're up
When you're successful
When you're down, ain't nobody 'round
When you're struggling, no one is there for you
Tell me what the fuck?
Tell me what's going on?
Damn, I done came up, now a nigga stacking green
I've made it and now I'm making a lot of money
I could go and buy Supreme but I'm in love with Gucci jeans
I could buy anything but I really like Gucci jeans
Shawty in love with my steez, bring these bitches to their knees
Girls like my style and it makes them weak
I got all this fuckin' swag and I can't even
I have all this confidence and style, but I can't control it
I can't even stop it, all these watches that I want
I can't help but want all these expensive watches
I stack it up, then cop it
I save up and then buy it
Guess the lesson of the day is keep stackin' your dollar
Save your money for the future
And them bitches chasin' me so I ain't gotta holla
Girls are pursuing me, so I don't have to pursue them
Ayy, I feel like Jay-Z the way I'm pulling strings
I feel like Jay-Z because I have control over my career
Feel like I wrote the book the way I'm running game
I feel like I invented the game of success
They think I'm a crook the way I'm takin'
People think I'm a criminal for making money
I don't even wanna call a hoe 'cause she on go, ayy
I don't have to call women because they're already interested
Uncle Jxmmi fresh I'm talking head to toe
My uncle Jxmmi is fresh from head to toe
I'm still puttin' on for Tupelo
I'm still representing Tupelo, Mississippi
I treat a 20 like a groupie hoe
I treat $20 bills as if they're disposable
Head down, head up
Dancing movement
