So Much Has Changed
So much has changed
But I'm still me, I'm just saying
Nothing was the same
From when we came in
From the burbs of chitown
Put those hands up
Cuz you know it's going down

So much has changed, so much has changed (4x)

Riding round with my homies
Now I ride round with my wifey
Chilling everyday
Now work is around me yeah
Came up from the dirt, all that pain yeah it hurt, but I dust it off and keep walking, young man raised in those burbs

I was so lost (aye aye)
Tried finding me, at what cost (aye aye)
Boy had to learn what wasn't taught (aye aye)
Grateful for all the men that didn't walk (aye aye)
Chorus

Mama always told me to remember where I came from yeah, everything I am is a result of the nurturing that came from
All the people who poured into me as a child, celebrating all the good and reprimanding the wild
Used to stay up with the homies (aye aye)
Used to drink up with my crew (aye aye)
And then things rearranged ya homie was a fool but we prayed and worked harder and made it into school
Now I got a wife and career, we're facing our fears. Letting God lead the way, got this whisper in my ear
No matter how far down the road you travel one thing remains, you wouldn't be there if you were never from where ya came

Chorus

All I know is who I am
All I got is God and my fam
All I do is speak the truth
And try to stay away from the scams
Ain't got time to hang with no fools
Ain't got time to waste, I'm in school
Ain't got hate, all i have is love
Given to give from up above
Came a long ways from JayD
A long ways from where I used to be
Came up from that dirt
That was buried under that concrete
Working with my brothers
We grindin' everyday
Paving the way
Know everything will be okay
Cuz everything we been thru
Everything we been thru
Brought us where we got to
Brought us where we got to

Chorus (3x)
