[Intro]
GmYeah
AmNow you can hear the goDmld just jangling
GmBut, its still aboAmut the take overDm  
[Chorus]
It's like evGmerything changed
But I Amstill feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that
It's like everGmything changed
But I stiAmll feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that, yeah
[Verse 1]
GmWhere do I start damn, man my mind is racing
AmHip hop aDmwards getting chosen by some racists
GmI'm in the yo, with a bAmottle of some clear shit
DmYou don't know the truth, you just hear shit
GmHomie's on a Learjet, upgrade from the block
If you too biDmg, fuck fades they gon' use the Glock (use the Glock)
I do a lGmot for everyone around me, y'all don't see it
IAm'm in the clGmub for half an hour then I'm probably leaving
I got Gmpaid, dip off with the gang
Got Bugus in the BenDmtley, got Herb in the Wraith
GmGot Tim in the Ghost, got a gun on his waist
AmLife or death, ain't no tDmime to start reaching for the safe
So I play it Gmsafe
Real ones that would really Amgo hit for me
DmLow overhead, no-one ever wrote a hit for me
GmI be making history, biAmgger when I'm dead
I'm so Dmon (on)
GmBut it's off with they head
Fuck MTV, y'all really snubbed me
DmHow you choosing people with numbers that ain't above me?
N.C.     Gm
Oh wait, politics                  Dm
Playing at these colleges, getting paid more to perform than any scholarship
GmI'm lit, I'm gassed, I'm me, I'm me
DmTwo platinum singles, two years they were free
GmAs I'm writing this, I know that this ain't accurate no more
DmBy the time that all y'all hear this I will most likely have more
GmI really did eight tours, headlined them all
AmYour contDmacts were bullshit, we redlined them all
GmI spent time in awe, Amon some amazed shit
DmThen an O.G. told me to embrace this
GmI will never waste this, nAmever get complacent
Lotta tDmhese rappers got rich and got jaded
GmI'm still on the same shit, tAmake over the game shit
DmI just can't relate to your wavelength
[Chorus]
It's like evGmerything changed
But I Amstill feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that
It's like everGmything changed
But I stiAmll feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that, yeah
[Verse 2]
GmI get everything for free, from your Amgirl to my wardrobe
DmHalf a million dollars smiling on my torso
GmI buy property, you just got foreclosed
AmMoney running low, you gon' hDmave to do more shows
GmBut you know no one shows for your shows
DmSo you do club hostings but you drink what you gross
GmThen you go back home, fall asleep frustrated
AmGirl laying next to you, whiDmspering "Russ made it"
GmYou asleep, you don't hear her so she sneaks out
DmAnd she pulls up on me and brings the freak out
GmI send her back before your eyes open
AmI'm her fDmix 'cause your life's broken
She might try chokin'
GmOn something you don't wanna kiss after
DmLifestyle of a young handsome rich rapper
GmIt's all laughter, it's all big bAmucks though
Call the buzz "VeDmgas" 'cause it stays on a bus though
GmGirls gone wild, rich like Rothschild
DmI'ma make you sign an NDA, now you're on file
GmI'm the President, the CEO
DmPeople that I've never seen, tryna see me go (uh)
GmBillionaire minds in my circle that's a fact
DmFaded off Clooney liquor we don't know, how to act
GmIf it's based off of fans, y'all shDmould really do the math
GmIf it's based off of sales, y'all sDmhould really count the plaques
GmIf it's based off of pussy, y'all sDmhould really count the ass
GmIf it's based off of money, y'all sDmhould really count the cash (uh)
GmMove around with duffle bags like Floyd does
AmSometimes nothing makes more noiDmse than poise does
GmCoin us the best movement of all time
DmDreams too big to think small time
GmI'm just on the same shit, take over the game shit
I just can't Dmrelate to any B-level wave length
[Chorus]
It's like evGmerything changed
But I Amstill feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that
It's like everGmything changed
But I stiAmll feel the same
I'm just tDmryna run the motherfucking game
I'm Gmon that
Yeah I'll always be Dmon that, yeah

[Verse 1]

Where do I start damn, man my mind is racing

Am Dm

Hip hop awards getting chosen by some racists

Gm Am

I'm in the yo, with a bottle of some clear shit

You don't know the truth, you just hear shit

Homie's on a Learjet, upgrade from the block

If you too big, fuck fades they gon' use the Glock (use the Glock)

I do a lot for everyone around me, y'all don't see it

Am Gm

I'm in the club for half an hour then I'm probably leaving

I got paid, dip off with the gang

Got Bugus in the Bentley, got Herb in the Wraith

Got Tim in the Ghost, got a gun on his waist

Am Dm

Life or death, ain't no time to start reaching for the safe

So I play it safe

Real ones that would really go hit for me

Low overhead, no-one ever wrote a hit for me

Gm Am

I be making history, bigger when I'm dead

I'm so on (on)

But it's off with they head

Fuck MTV, y'all really snubbed me

How you choosing people with numbers that ain't above me?

N.C. Gm

Oh wait, politics Dm

Playing at these colleges, getting paid more to perform than any scholarship

I'm lit, I'm gassed, I'm me, I'm me

Two platinum singles, two years they were free

As I'm writing this, I know that this ain't accurate no more

By the time that all y'all hear this I will most likely have more

I really did eight tours, headlined them all

Am Dm

Your contacts were bullshit, we redlined them all

Gm Am

I spent time in awe, on some amazed shit

Then an O.G. told me to embrace this

Gm Am

I will never waste this, never get complacent

Lotta these rappers got rich and got jaded

Gm Am

I'm still on the same shit, take over the game shit

I just can't relate to your wavelength

[Chorus]

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

Girl laying next to you, whispering "Russ made it"

You asleep, you don't hear her so she sneaks out

And she pulls up on me and brings the freak out

I send her back before your eyes open

Am Dm

I'm her fix 'cause your life's broken

She might try chokin'

On something you don't wanna kiss after

Lifestyle of a young handsome rich rapper

Gm Am

It's all laughter, it's all big bucks though

Call the buzz "Vegas" 'cause it stays on a bus though

Girls gone wild, rich like Rothschild

I'ma make you sign an NDA, now you're on file

I'm the President, the CEO

People that I've never seen, tryna see me go (uh)

Billionaire minds in my circle that's a fact
