Never Be The Same by Pena Lyrics
I got a lot of shit to say, if I’m being completely honest
Let me take this opportunity, tomorrow’s never promised
Instrumental made by Homage, always knew that I’d prevail
‘Cause it’s been about a year since I was in that prison cell
Now I keep on moving forward, always learned from my mistakes
See I chose to hold it down, now it’s my time to motivate
I’m determined to be great, know that I’m just a work in progress
I really beat my case, I beat my odds against the process
I was chilling in my room, just tryna get my thoughts
It was Friday afternoon, until my homie came across
Couldn’t look into my eyes when the only thing he brought
Was a bag for me to hold, well, at least that’s what I thought
But I didn’t think much, thought it wasn’t that important
So I took the elevator, just to find law enforcement
Then, I thought about that favor, that’s where my mind resorted
Homie said, see you later, another case misreported
I had ran up in my room, looked at my roommate with uncertainty
I’m sorry you don’t know of situations facing currently
While I was speaking nervously, he questioning my urgency
I barely spoke a word, when I heard university
Police knocking on my door, asking can I leave the room
I was staring at the floor, know the end is coming soon
They found drugs in my possession, nothing left to assume
Didn’t care to pay attention, destined for the courtroom
We was waiting for our homie, had us staring at the time
I was looking at the officer like, “Damn, you crossed the line”
How could we go to jail, for some shit that wasn’t mine?
Lying to me in my face, told me, “Trust me, you’ll be fine”
Never came to my surprise that he wasn’t even listening
I could’ve testified the true meaning of my innocence
We could’ve set aside, misidentified differences
Pointed towards the fact that we’re rather insignificant
We had to hit the road, it had me running out of options
But all I really know, this was a lot of shit to process
And that just went to show that there’s so much up on my conscience
Had me sitting in a cell, while I was held hostage
Can’t describe the way I felt, I just knew this wasn’t right
Ain’t nobody wanna help, now my future gotta price
These were the cards that I was dealt, in this game called “life”
Had me surely thinking about it, couldn’t sleep throughout the night
I had so much going for me, what a waste of all my efforts?
And I know it’s disappointing, but it’s something to remember
While I’m going off to court, this was just my first offense
Man, I’m shackled by the waist, what am I going up against?
Don’t convict me as a felon, for a crime I ain’t commit
Could you let me out on bond, I’m gonna get this case dismissed
Written in the documents said I was set to be released
Put me back inside a cell, I got assignments to complete
It was another couple hours, and that’s just to say the least
They don’t wanna see me out, you know fuck all of police
Had my white beaded rosary, cargos, and a tee
Feeling lost inside the cold when it was fifty some degrees
I ain’t even know the streets, but I made sense of my direction
I got back at 2AM coming from federal correction
Not a dollar to my name, phone dead, and no reception
It all happens for a reason, and this wasn’t an exception
Gave you too much of my trust when we ain’t got the same intentions
So we really caught them charges, and your name was never mentioned
Waited for your intervention, until you came to the conclusion
We could stand in front of judge, awaiting prosecution
And I thought it was some bullshit, thought you’d own up to yourself
I can surely make the promise that I'll never need your help
Put yourself in my position, you’re the only one to blame
January 24th and I would Never Be The Same
Let me take this opportunity, tomorrow’s never promised
Instrumental made by Homage, always knew that I’d prevail
‘Cause it’s been about a year since I was in that prison cell
Now I keep on moving forward, always learned from my mistakes
