Never Change by Travis Thompson Lyrics
[Intro]
Ohhhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh
Ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, yeah
[Verse 1: Travis Thompson]
I still got my white tees from the first grade
With them sharpie signatures, and on my birthday
I had the piñata, the barbecue chicken
I promise nothing's changed, except the way we back in business
Still taking my time, while I feel great on my own
While I'm still feeling that shine, and I'm still living at home
I'm working 9-to-5 to 5-to-9, ain't seen my mom in a week
I ain't got no time to rock 'em, but there's fresh shit on my feet
I remember walking home in my first pair of Force's
They see me all by myself, they jack my shit, and then floored it
I had to walk in my socks, I had them tears in my eyes
My sister looked me in my face and told me, "bro, you still fly"
You should've seen my daddy's face when they said my name on NPR
Respond in some voices, but we still turned up in that fucking car like, "oh shit, posted on 128"
They hit my phone, we got that eighth, I got a show -- let's go get payed
And I used to stay up late to watch Girls Gone Wild commercials
I wasn't quiet -- rehearsals like, "gimme my fucking solo"
"Let me speak to these kids"
Kanye was rocking Polo
Then dropped out and changed my life
Pastel fits in my Myspace photos
Thinking damn, I got a long ways to go, don't I?
But when it come to kids up in my city really don't lie
I'm the coldest, you should know it: fuck the fame, bruh
Know a lot of shit gon' change, but they can never change us
Right
[Chorus: Parisalexa & Travis Thompson]
They can never, they can never change us
They can never, they can never change us
I know a lot of shit gon' change, but they gon' never change us
And you can trust that, and you can trust that
Like, oh my goodness gracious I know we gon' make it
I just don't know why they don't wanna see us shine
[Verse 2: Travis Thompson]
But I'm shining like I never have before
Bust my nut, put on my robe
Get horchata for the road
I'm 19, still sleeping on a twin bed, struggling
Probably 'cause I'm never home, we forty-pouring, guzzling
You should meet my cousin then
I got in this life for them
They told me I'm destined for more than moving, serving subs to tears
Now, I'm moving place-to-place, and, face-to-face, they love my shit
Used to ask girl, "where my hug?"
Now, they tryna hug my dick
Eighth grade hit the try-out, posted with a mean mug
Chubby with the fade away -- I was tryna keep up
No hands, the romance, I ghosted my whole dance
To play shows for fake hoes who fucked with my post stamps
'Cause I'm a fucking legend, the proof is in my pen
And if they really got some shit to say, then let's compare our checkings
We came out the fucking dirt, try to tell me what it's worth
Let me take they ass to church
Let me take they ass to church, like
[Chorus: Parisalexa & Travis Thompson]
They can never, they can never change us
They can never, they can never change us
I know a lot of shit gon' change, but they gon' never change us
And you can trust that, and you can trust that
Like, oh my goodness gracious I know we gon' make it
I just don't know why they don't wanna see us shine
They can never, they can never change us
They can never, they can never change us
I know a lot of shit gon' change, but they gon' never change us
And you can trust that, and you can trust that
Like, oh my goodness gracious I know we gon' make it
I just don't know why they don't wanna see us shine
[Bridge: Parisalexa & Travis Thompson]
This for all the times my mama called my phone
(mama called my phone)
At 4am like, "when you coming home?"
(when you coming home)
Running through the streets with nothing in my pocket but a Motorola Razr and a ripped up empty wallet
And I don't know where the hell we gon' end up
But the bumpy rides, them touchy lives is meant for kids like us
So, no matter where we go
Yeah, we'll stay the same
But along the way, you bet your ass, we'll make you feel our pain
[Outro]
Ohhhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh
Ohhhhh, oh, oh, ohhhhh
Ohhhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh
Ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, yeah
