Stayed the same

Yeah…

I stayed solid when they folded

A lot changed, but I didn’t

Still me

I stayed the same when the world kept changin’

Gave my all and they still left me hangin’

Heart on E, but I kept on racin’

Now I’m up, but the pain still weighin’

I ain’t switch, I just outgrew the fake

They show love when it’s all too late

Kept my soul when they lost they grace

Now I move different, I need more space

I was down bad, no lights, just stress

Couldn’t sleep, had the world on my chest

Talked to God like, “What’s next?”

All these Ls, when do I get rest?

Seen close friends move like strangers

Felt more safe around pure danger

Took risks just to make a way

Now they all tryna eat off my plate

They don’t know what it cost me

Fake love almost lost me

I stayed ten toes, had to boss me

Now the same ones hate they ain’t stop me

I stayed the same when the world kept changin’

Gave my all and they still left me hangin’

Heart on E, but I kept on racin’

Now I’m up, but the pain still weighin’

I ain’t switch, I just outgrew the fake

They show love when it’s all too late

Kept my soul when they lost they grace

Now I move different, I need more space

Mama said, “Don’t break, you’re built from truth”

But I break in silence, not in view

Smile so wide they don’t even see

That behind this shine’s anxiety

All this fame don’t fix the hurt

Just makes the silence feel worse

’Cause now I got thousands in the crowd

But still feel like I’m not allowed

Grew up fast, didn’t get to dream

Made plans while they doubted me

Now I stand where I used to crawl

Still feel like I might lose it all

Stayed the same, yeah, I stayed the same

Even when they laughed at the pain

Even when I walked through the flames

I stayed the same…
