Never Change (feat. Future)
Descrição
“Never Change”, de Trippie Redd com Future, é um hino sobre a inabalável lealdade a si mesmo e às próprias raízes, mesmo diante da ascensão à fama e à riqueza. A faixa aborda a desilusão de ver “everything that glitters ain't gold” e a traição de amigos que se transformam em inimigos com o sucesso. O artista reforça sua determinação em “stickin' to the code” – um conjunto de princípios e condutas originados de suas experiências passadas. Há uma forte emoção de resiliência e autenticidade, prometendo manter-se fiel ao seu passado (“keep it hood with the hood”, “keep it G with the G”), enquanto se navega pelos perigos e pelas novas alturas do seu estilo de vida, incluindo a necessidade de autodefesa e a desconfiança em relação aos outros. A música celebra a integridade pessoal e a recusa em ser corrompido pelas circunstâncias.

Rockstar life
(Mally Mally Mall)
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)
