Things Change (feat. J Cole)
• Written by BasedSnake
BasedSnake's Notes
First official released track from my first project "Burning Bridges." Includes the hook and J Cole verse from Omen's "Things Change." (Please pardon the sound blip when my verse begins and ends, I'm still learning the stitching feature in the program, and looking for feedback!)
[Produced By: Ron Gilmore]
[Intro: J. Cole]
Yeah things change, things change
Things change nigga
[Verse 1: J. Cole]
Pick up the pen, time to write my sins away
Right my wrongs and then life goes on
Bitches be calling, then mistakenly niggas be falling
I fuck them and I leave them, forever picture me balling
With cash that I never had, I'm trying to stretch a million
Hoping it forever lasts, a fear of going broke
Cause most niggas I know can barely make the car note
Can barely keep the rent paid, so I'm like Da Vinci
Painting pictures to last centuries since like the 10th grade
Carolina nigga with New York plates
My template, switch states and swerve, mixtapes was served
Get cake, absurd, and has big plates, preferred
You heard, my every word
Potentially could free us all, now that's a heavy burden
Sometimes I'd rather get some head and watch my wealth grow
Cause things change, am I the same one you fell for?
One side screaming "hell no" other side holding on for dear life
Lately nigga I feel like, I ain't that young frail nigga that I used to be
Pardon my ways girl, I'm still getting used to me
Cause things change, I'm still getting used to me
I ain't that old shy nigga that I used to be
Bitches watching niggas plotting on me, truthfully
Gotta be careful what you wish for, as you can see
Things change
[Hook: T.S. Desandies, Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)]
Things change, it'll never be the same
I've never been the one to settle, it'll never be the same
(Yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same, it'll never be the same
(Things change)
Nothing ever stays the same
[Verse 2: BasedSnake]
It's been a long road home y'all
And I am not the same one you knew, nah
I've been through more than I'd care to explain
I am not the same man, I have changed
And I don't know who I am, but
I've learned to adapt, I grew up real fast
Been working since I was 15 and a half
Like I'm busting my ass, doing college and shit
Thought I would be alone until she came in my life
When I met her I thought I'd found the light
She made me feel like everything was alright
Every day, every night, I was feeling so high
But she never gave me a chance, to her I was just another guy
Told me I wasn't her type, we just weren't enough alike
But she was wrong and I know it
Spent a year trying to make her see it, my plan failed
And with a gust of wind she disappeared
On a February morning leaving me and my love far behind
So what I mean to say is that things change
You can't take shit for granted, it can all go away
I changed into someone I never thought I'd become
And the part that's fucked up is it was all out of love
So just remember what I told you
Things change man
[Hook: T.S. Desandies,Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)]
Things change, it'll never be the same
I've never been the one to settle, it'll never be the same
(Yeah, things change)
Nothing ever stays the same, it'll never be the same
(Things change)
Nothing ever stays the same
(Things change baby)
