[Verse 1]

Uh, check, uh, I kind of miss my student loan

Uh, I miss sitting in the student home

Sharing stories now I simmer sippin', sorta Rome

Walking like I've been talking the talk but can't afford a phone

Trust, I'm all alone panicking to play it safe

This talk of paper chase is forcing me to stay awake

Living this layer cake where others will say you’re straight

Say they got my back and that they're praying I'ma pave the way

Like it's the Great Escape, brothers doing better than me

I'm in a hurry, worry, what if they forget about me?

I'm just another number nothing when the cheque will bounce

See now we're moving for money

But there's nothing but debt around me

So when the rest have found me buggin' in the brain

And I'm somewhere between the struggle and the strain

They ask why every fucking song the fucking same

And I tell them it's 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying ain't nothing changed


[Chorus]

Check, I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying, ain't nothing changed

Nah, 'cause ain't nothing changed

I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Uh, uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Brother, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying, ain't nothing changed

Nah, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed


[Verse 2]

'Cause this is for the men of the house who were far too young

See your friends are growing up but feel you can't do none

You're raising funds for your mother and your can’t do sons

Up in the rubble raising trouble, what you can’t do is run

And trust I feel it, I feel it, but can't conceal it, see

This inner-city responsibility's killing me

I start to shiver when I think of all the shit I need

And see all my brothers burning paper on that sticky greed

Picking the thickest leaves stuck in a mitt

Taking a shit, I should have quit but couldn't fucking resist

And now they sit with a lager, little luck and a wish

But trust they still blow their mother a kiss, they're living up in the bits

And slip, stagger through the puddles and the pain

Somewhere beneath the rubbles in the rain, uh

They ask why every fucking song the fucking same

And I tell them it's 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying ain't nothing changed


[Chorus]

Check, I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying, ain't nothing changed

Nah, 'cause ain't nothing changed

I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Uh, uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Brother, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying, ain't nothing changed

Nah, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed


[Outro]

Uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed, uh

Uh, I'm saying ain't nothing changed

Ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Saying ain't nothing changed, uh

Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Ain't nothing changed

Saying ain't nothing changed, uh

Uh, 'cause ain't nothing changed

Trust, 'cause ain't nothing changed
