Things Change
Spider Loc Lyrics

*****, things change
The world is always evolving and shifting, nothing remains constant forever.

They don't stay the same
Stagnancy is an illusion, as everything is in a constant state of change.

Now watch me come up
I am rising to the top through hard work and dedication.

I hustle, i hustle even harder
I put in extra effort to achieve my goals and dreams.

I put that work in to win, no problem
I am willing to work hard and face any challenge to succeed.

All money ain't good money, this i know
I understand that not all money is earned through respectable means and value integrity over easy gains.

But i still love hood money, it gets my dough
Despite knowing the risks associated with illegal gains, I am still attracted to the allure of easy money.

And as a youngster, that ***** went through so much church
As a young person, I faced many difficulties and obstacles in life.

That still turned out fucked up, i did so much dirt
My past actions have led to ongoing consequences that I must now bear.

Told to bang the neighbourhood, i put in so much work
I engaged in gang violence and other criminal activities to gain respect and status in my community.

Did a whole lot of time, caused mom so much hurt
My criminal actions led to imprisonment and caused pain to those who care for me.

On everythang, that boy wasn't done on purpose
My past mistakes were not intentional, but rather a result of influences and outside factors.

Who knew that all my darkness was really gon' surface
The negative consequences of my past actions are now becoming apparent to me and those around me.

I was stuck on that bullshit jus runnin' the streets
I was consumed by the dangerous lifestyle of gang violence and crime and could not see an alternative path.

Without some type of beef, the week wasn't complete
I found excitement and a sense of purpose in constantly seeking out conflict and violence.

Its like a ***** felt better after dumpin this heat
I found a twisted sense of satisfaction and control from carrying out violent acts.

On feet, just to see the body slumped in the seat
The sight of a dead body gave me a sense of power and invincibility that I craved.

Its like a whole 'nother rush to me, bussin' was sweet
I became addicted to the adrenaline rush and sense of power gained from violent acts.

Now im smarter, im all about something to eat
I have learned from my past mistakes and am now focused on making legitimate money to support myself and my family.

Im on the road spend 30 days a month in the suite
I am now successful and able to travel and stay in luxury accommodations.

But im still gon' hustle and cheat, Lets Go Now!
Despite my success, I am still driven to find ways to make money and may resort to questionable tactics if necessary.

Now walkin down the block without your weapon
Being unarmed in a dangerous neighborhood is a recipe for disaster.

Its a first class ticket to a lesson (uh huh)
Being unprepared for danger is a quick way to learn a harsh lesson about the realities of the world.

I first cast tickets to perfection, me and Ben got a connection (yeah)
I am skilled in my craft and have developed a close working relationship with my partner Ben.

That's why i bring the Benz out to impress him (yeah)
I want to impress Ben and others with my success and flashy lifestyle.

Caught in my zone, all alone, homes rattlin' my bones
I am constantly on guard and alone in my dangerous environment, which causes stress and anxiety.

Cuz he yappin' off his lips and if i hit him i be wrong
Someone is talking disrespectfully to me, but I know that responding physically would be morally wrong.

Cuz he ain't never gon' be ****, i done work so hard
The person who is insulting me has not put in the same effort and work as me, making their insults meaningless.

But i will make you a corn of the cob, you be performin for God
I will teach the person who is disrespecting me a lesson they won't forget, and they will be held accountable for their actions.

Either that or rob you on your boulevard
If someone disrespects me, I may resort to stealing from them to assert my control and power.

Bet you never thought for a second niggas would pull your cards
People who underestimate me or disrespect me will soon learn that I am not to be trifled with.

I don't know about y'all star, cuz my ***** gone
I am not concerned with the opinions or status of others, as my friend has passed away and life has shown me what truly matters.

H.P tatted on me so his memory lives on
I have commemorated my friend's memory and carry his legacy with me through a tattoo on my body.

Engagin in drama without your llama
Getting involved in conflict without the proper tools or preparation is foolish and can have dire consequences.

There'll be funeral arrangements for your momma
Getting caught up in violence and conflict can lead to serious consequences, including the loss of life for oneself or loved ones.

I learnd that when i was in pajamas watchin Micheal and Madonna
I learned the harsh realities of violence and conflict at a young age, through observing the world around me.

Now i got the appetite of a piranna, *****
I am driven to succeed and take what is mine, using any means necessary.

When nobody knows all the walls you go through
The struggles and difficulties that one faces in life are often hidden from others, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness.

You can't even talk to those that supposedly know you
Even those who are close to you may not fully understand your struggles and may not be able to offer helpful support.

Some of the levels that these people'll go to, for crumbs
Some people will go to extreme lengths, even risking their own integrity and morals, for the promise of small gains or rewards.

Damn tell me, is this what that dough do?
Money and success can change people and make them act in unpredictable and morally questionable ways, leading to questions about the true value of wealth.

That's when you find yourself talkin to Pro Two
In moments of difficulty and confusion, it can be helpful to talk to a trusted friend or mentor to gain perspective and advice.

There's not to many people who ever can walk in Loc shoes
My experiences and struggles in life are unique and not many people can understand or relate to them.

Its good as hell that my heart contains
Despite my past actions and struggles, I am grateful that my heart is compassionate and loving.

I explain, so many different parts of pain
Through my experiences, I have gained wisdom and perspective on the many different types of pain and struggles in life.

Im clean, but still some marks remain
I have left my past behind and am now living a clean, honest life, but the consequences of my past actions still linger.

From the past, when that crushed weed sparks to brang
My past choices, including drug use, have had long-lasting effects and consequences.

The cash made some people start to change
The promise of money and success can change people and make them act differently than their true selves.

I feel hate when i pulled up and parked the range
Despite my success and wealth, I still feel the pain of my past and the hate directed towards me by those who knew me then.

Ya damn right i got rich, but my heart the same
Despite my financial success, I have not lost sight of my true values and am still the same person at heart.

And practice makes perfect with the harder aim
Through dedication and hard work, one can improve and succeed, even in challenging circumstances.

You ain't really got the heart to bang
Many people talk tough and act as if they are involved in violent conflict, but few have the true courage and heart to carry it out.

You ain't start to hang, till you find out I cought the chain..
My success and wealth has earned me respect and power, and others now see me in a new light.
