Love Changes

[Verse One]
Yo
I met this girl named Carmen that went to Clara Barton
Lived on 23rd and Beverly, right down the block from Martin
With the Guess Jeans suit, I got the black, she blew
Right past my eyes on the train, number two
At Grand Army Plaza star she stepped in the last car
It was me, Shawn, Chris and one of my bredren [?]
Screaming at his kid so as she snickered I slid
Down three seats and let her know who I is
She replied with a grin and handshake, touch her skin
Great feedback, convo pack with e'rything
Since we clicked and shit we exchanged our digits
Kicked it
Through the whole night, the next day I went and hit it
Then for 'nuff days at school, stayed home when she was with it
To burn trees and bone till her brothers came home
Kicked it off and on through school and it was mad mad cool
But then we went our separate ways and I ain't seen her since '92
Back till '96, I think springtime by the rink
And I was bugging
My one time young ting to me, spreading no loving?
I stepped out the minivan and said a little something like
"Hello" or "Hi"
And she acting sly
I kissed her teeth and rolled her eye
I said "Hey" and passed me by like I was Herbert
In her Donna Karan New York shirt
I felt hurt up in my Aeropostale looking stale
Yo I know this bitch well, still I guess it never fails

A thug changes
And love changes
And best friends become strangers

[Verse Two]
Now you burn your own trees
Niggas used to burn off me!
With the same three snaps on the black dime weed
But got your [?]
55 Water Street
With benefits out the ass, vacation for two weeks
And stay fresh now
But I player hate you cause that ain't you
I know you, my homeboy from days to old crew
'82 through '89 up in the same class as mine
And when your money wasn't right son you was never left behind
We took good care of our own
Not just for talk nor show
But you done forgot the whole flow
With your little J.O
And B. you need to be more humble and remember your roots
Remember the cats you knew from way back, remember Mike Zoot
Remember days before your lawsuit, praying to be fly
Now you got gear, forgot me and just drive by
With your new friends in the old Benz, waving like "hi"
Yo fuck you in your car star, you know who you are

[Hook]

[Verse Three]
Yo, it lonely at the bottom of the barrel in the same apparel
From last year, dirty kicks, the same pair
You seen me in everywhere, like the last verse my man
Saw me stuck in a rut and never lent no helping hand
But hey we past that
Immature chat and little kid shit
And as for that broad that switched and tried to diss
It's all good and real sis, but yo player you know the song
My money came wrong now she don't know me with my clothes on
Life goes on, I do my thing and stay patient
And watch the people I love change and then use it as motivation
To strive that much harder, word to the father
This is a mission to get on and get a hit and get rich
And start shitting on all y'all
I mean that...from the bottom of my stomach
