Never Change (2005): [youtube link]
I asked was he dabbling, he laughed and said he managing
His Carti frames was as clear as a camera lens,
He hardly changed, I was near in comparisonIt was Tuesday when I saw him, figured Friday I could call him
Woke up early Wednesday morning, flew a chick in from New Orleans
Up in Nostrum’s for a fresh pair to floss ‘em
Of course with footwear I be that first nigga that sport ‘em
Debating my destination, lacing, weighing my options
Celly started rocking, I anwsered, “What’s poppin’?”
They answered and said, “They shot him, now the hood got a problem.”
