[Intro: Trent Shelton & Sheek Louch]
Understand it’s not about the size of your circle (Facts)
It’s about loyalty that’s in it, you see
Nothing can stop a squad that’s dedicated
Fighting for the same mission (Mm)
Focused on the same vision
Does your circle have that type of commitment? (It's LOX)
Are they happy for you when you winning?
Or is the more you do better, the more they get distant? (D-Block!)
[Verse 1: Sheek Louch]
I told my brothers from the jump, "I got love for you both" (LOX)
And all them niggas lookin’ up to us is watchin’ our growth (What’s good)
And all them hatin’ mu'fuckers, not even close (Uh-uh)
And all that money on the 'Gram they show is not what they gross (Haha)
They got a nice family at home, but that’s not who they post (Why?)
Ain’t too many real niggas like us left on the coast
You know (New York), I’m supposed to make you proud, not hate me
If I ain’t around, pray for me, I’m hearing bullshit lately (Facts)
Why does energy feel so funny? (Funny)
Like you lent a nigga Rockefeller start-up money (Oh, word?)
When you was moving weight, you ain’t know a nigga (Uh-uh)
Now every time we talk, you call me big bro (Ayo, big bro, hit me up)
I was ready, but you didn’t wanna show a nigga (Woo)
So we gonna keep it like that from the get-go (Chyeah)
I ain’t smoking, I ain’t drinking with you at my show (Nah)
You can’t get close enough to find out what you need to know, nigga
[Chorus: Jaheim]
All the feelings changing from loving right into hate
Oh, it’s hard to take it when friends turn into fake
Oh, you’re like a stranger now, didn’t see it going that way
I thought that things would never change, never change, never change
[Verse 2: Styles P]
If it ain’t Louch or Kiss, I’m expecting a flip (I'm expecting it)
I never take it personal, I’m accepting the shit (Uh-uh)
Yeah, I tried to give them jewels, they neglected the shit (I tried)
Never put me in a place of holding weapons and shit (Mm)
Yeah, I’m living off experience (L.O.X)
Told you I’m a Jedi, I could smoke a J and touch the top of the pyramids
Fuck with the trinity, die—dead serious (Dead serious)
I still remember the oath, I’m not delirious (I do)
Group never broke up (Uh-uh), this game you can soak up (Yep)
Before rap, we kept straps and blew coke up (Hahaha)
I know you heard the stories, couple niggas was poked up (I know you heard)
Fuck about your money, my nigga, hold your loc' up (Give a fuck about your money)
Yeah, is it love if it ain’t love? (Is it?)
It’s bigger than dirty money and bank stubs (Mm)
Showed y’all niggas loyalty—thank us (Thank us)
Above number one when you rank us
[Chorus: Jaheim & Jadakiss]
All the feelings changing from loving right into hate
Oh, it’s hard to take it when friends turn into fake
Oh, you’re like a stranger now
Didn’t see it going that way (They done seen us)
I thought that things would never change (L.O.X, ha-ha)
Never change, never change
[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
Our dreams turned into reality, then came to a halt (Uh)
It was part of the business though, it wasn’t our fault (nah)
Times got darker, we just got brighter (Uh-huh)
The love got faker, and we just got tighter (Yup)
Back against the wall—shit, we was all fighters (Fight)
Hustle all day, studio all-nighters (Work)
We were skipping class (Uh), chipping in for gas (Uh-huh)
89 regular, et cetera, et cetera (Woo)
Nobody else got us—we got us (We got us)
Money can’t divide us (Nah), we came from the riders (Yeah)
Dropped us off in the pot, the hard rises
GPS start acting up, then God guides us
Yeah, I catch a bullet for my niggas
If I got it in, then I up it—I’ma pull it for my niggas
Yeah, if they around, then I know I’m covered (Yes)
Real brothers, and our mothers really know each other
What?
[Chorus: Jaheim]
All the feelings changing from loving right into hate
Oh, it’s hard to take it when friends turn into fake
Oh, you’re like a stranger now, didn’t see it going that way
I thought that things would never change, never change, never change
[Outro: Jaheim]
Oh no
Never change, never change (No, no, no, no)
N-n-n-n-no, no-no
Never change, never change
Ooh-hoo, oh
Never change, never change
