Never Change (feat. Future)
Descrição
A faixa "Never Change" de Trippie Redd, com a participação de Future, mergulha na complexidade de manter a autenticidade e a lealdade em meio ao sucesso. A letra reflete sobre a máxima "Everythin' that glitters ain't gold", alertando para as ilusões da riqueza e da fama. O artista expressa um compromisso inabalável em "stickin' to the code" e "keeping it hood with the hood", honrando suas origens e valores, mesmo quando o enriquecimento afasta amigos e revela a verdadeira natureza das pessoas. Há uma sensação palpável de desconfiança e cautela, com referências a traições e à necessidade de estar sempre preparado. A música é uma declaração poderosa de resiliência e autoafirmação, reforçando a mensagem central de que, independentemente das circunstâncias ou da ascensão social, o eu verdadeiro e seus princípios fundamentais devem "Never Change".

Everythin' that glitters ain't gold (no)
I'm holdin' on to what's left of my soul (my soul)
Either way it go, I'm stickin' to the code
This game wasn't free to me, so this game's sold (you know it's sold)
I keep it hood with the hood (keep the hood with the hood)
I keep it G with the G (keep it G with the G)
And no matter where I go (no matter where I go)
You can never ever change me (you can never change me)
Yeah, I promise to keep it G and live by the code
R.I.P. to my niggas, God bless they soul
Niggas be switchin' colors like a Morse code (yeah)
I swear the richer I get, my friends turned to foes
And I promise I will never change
And I moved onto better things (yeah)
And when I pull up, bet my Glocky got a weddin' ring
And we done moved up, reachin' heights that you won't ever gain
And still the same, yeah
Everythin' that glitters ain't gold (no)
I'm holdin' on to what's left of my soul (my soul)
Either way it go, I'm stickin' to the code
This game wasn't free to me, so this game's sold (you know it's sold)
I keep it hood with the hood (hood with the hood)
I keep it G with the G (keep it G with the G)
And no matter where I go (no matter where I go)
You can never ever change me (you can never change me)
Either way it go, a couple millions in my bank account
Either way it go, I'm gettin' racks, baby, now watch your mouth
Either way it go, you get this .30 on this .50 cal'
You just need to know it's motherfuckin' goin' down
Trust me, got no time to fuckin' play around (yeah)
I'ma grow wings, I go up and then I'm comin' down
And I won't say a thing 'cause we know these rappers snitchin' now
I'm so DnD, so I try to keep my distance now
Everythin' that glitters ain't gold (no)
I'm holdin' on to what's left of my soul (my soul)
Either way it go, I'm stickin' to the code
This game wasn't free to me, so this game's sold (you know it's sold)
I keep it hood with the hood (with the hood)
I keep it G with the G (keep it G with the G)
And no matter where I go (no matter where I go)
You can never ever change me (you can never change me)
I keep it hood with the hood (keep it hood with the hood)
I keep it G with the G (keep it G with the G)
And no matter where I go (no matter where I go)
You can never ever change me (you can never change me)
I keep it hood with the hood (keep it hood with the hood)
I keep it G with the G (keep it G with the G)
And no matter where I go (no matter where I go)
You can never ever change me (you can never change me)

A expressão "stickin' to the code" significa manter-se fiel a um conjunto rigoroso de princípios e lealdade, especialmente no contexto de um ambiente de rua. A frase "This game wasn't free to me, so this game's sold" refere-se à vida ou à indústria como um "jogo" que exigiu grandes sacrifícios pessoais para ser acessado, e agora representa um sucesso valioso conquistado com esforço. "Keep it G with the G" usa "G" para "gangsta" ou "genuine", denotando a intenção de permanecer autêntico e leal a si mesmo e às suas conexões verdadeiras. "Glocky got a weddin' ring" emprega "Glocky" para uma pistola Glock, sugerindo um compromisso profundo e constante com a arma, simbolizando prontidão para o conflito e sua presença inseparável. Por fim, "DnD" é usado no sentido de "Do Not Disturb" ou "Disconnected and Distant", indicando o ato de se afastar proativamente de problemas e pessoas negativas para manter a paz e a privacidade.
