Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ain't nothing changed, you know what I'm sayin'?
Still the same old same old, WC still in effect
Yo, break it down, Jinx
[Verse 2]
Damn, suckers got me pickin' up my pen again
Swingin' on my jogger like Tarzan
Lookin' for a change, hopin' my head swole
Thinkin' that I'm rich 'cause I made a little video
Shakin' my hand, oh, yeah right, now I'm a cool brother
But as soon as I step off, you're callin' me a sucker
Spam because I did bust a Benz on Lorenzo's
Hangin' on the boulevard, frontin' on the flow show
You know it's funny when you start makin' money
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanna be your buddy, buddy
The same one that dissed you, now it's a list of
First that used to riff, now they all in your ****, yo
I'm lookin' at you laughin', poppin' your lip
Rippin' my zipper onstage, can't pay the bill with a limp
Y'all don't wanna give it up to me now that I'm gettin' pumped
Run around like Calamine, the same old Dub
Do I know where I come from? Who's my friend?
Who's responsible for this little spot that I'm in?
Yo, I see 'em all playin', in my car when I drive by
Tellin' all my homies, "Yo, he ain't that fly"
The beat just 'cause I made a record
The record supposed to make me better
Than the next man, erase that game plan
'Cause I'm still down to bust a cap, then backslap
Those who pop rap at the mouth like Ex-Lax
And they like wanna test me, then step right up, bro
My number's the same, oh, by the way, it's in the ghetto
I'm sorry that couldn't flaunt the fortune and fame
But when it comes to the Dub (Ain't a damn thing changed)
[Verse 3]
Ain't a damn thing changed
Ain't a damn thing changed
[Verse 4]
Ain't a damn thing changed, sucker, how could you figure?
Coolio and Crazy Toons will never sell out, ****
Sportin' khakis and t-shirts, beanies and Starter caps
And land funky raps on the dope track
Should I dance all-out for a couple of dollars
Or sell away my soul to put a rope on my collar?
I was taken from the messed-up, the lost, and missing
Rappin' down a dark road on my way to prison
Stick me in a studio, put me on the radio
Told me to perpetrate like I was a hero
But I ain't with that, Toons got my back
Do I have to use a gat to show you where I'm at
Or pose with a forty-ounce, fakin' like a killer?
With a long black 'Llac like a small-time dope dealer
Diamonds on my finger and women at my feet, huh
A house that I don't own and no respect on the street
Might be detained, 'cause I ain't trained
Let me explain, when it comes to Coolio (Ain't a damn thing changed)
[Verse 5]
Ain't a damn thing changed
[Verse 6]
Whoever said livin' in the spotlight was simple as one, two, three
Ha, they must've been slippin' on a tuna leaf
'Cause man, I ain't used to this unusual behavior
Now everyone's a friendly neighbor
The same girls, way back, who told me to go to hell
Is tippin' backstage, wanna go to the motel
And everyone pretendin' they was down from the giddy-up
Tryin' to call you by your first name and stuff
Yo, and all these fake promoters steppin' to the circle
Remember how you treated us twelve months ago?
Yo, oh, you didn't know, bro? Now you want a show?
Toons, tell 'em what's up (Give it up, sucker duck)
Yeah, remember that the capital W told you
Suckers don't fade me, poppin', hoggin' my jogger
I keep to myself and I step with the pep
The lyrics of death, tell me how it sound, G (Cool)
Word, well, since I gotta prove that I'm the same
And still remain droppin' dogs in this rap game
To make it all simple and plain
Well, let me put it like this (Ain't a damn thing changed)
[Verse 7]
Ain't a damn thing changed
Ain't a damn thing changed, damn thing changed
Ain't a damn thing changed
Ain't a damn thing changed
Ain't a damn thing changed
