| [00:10.96] | Yeah things change, things change |
| [00:19.39] | Things change, bitch |
| [00:22.09] | <Verse 1: J. Cole> |
| [00:22.38] | Pick up the pen, time to write my sins away |
| [00:24.90] | Right my wrongs and then life goes on |
| [00:26.79] | Bitches be calling, then mistakenly niggas be falling |
| [00:29.93] | I **** them and I leave them, forever picture me balling |
| [00:32.64] | With cash that I never had, I'm trying to stretch a million |
| [00:35.60] | Hoping it forever lasts, a fear of going broke |
| [00:38.40] | Cause most niggas I know can barely make the car note |
| [00:40.85] | Can barely keep the rent paid, so I'm like Da Vinci |
| [00:43.50] | Painting pictures to last centuries since like the 10th grade |
| [00:46.23] | Carolina niggas with New York plates |
| [00:48.15] | My template, switch states and swerve, mixtapes was served |
| [00:51.52] | Get cake, absurd, and has big plates, preferred |
| [00:54.24] | You heard, my every word |
| [00:56.00] | Potentially could free us all, now that's a heavy burden |
| [00:58.88] | Sometimes I'd rather get some head and watch my wealth grow |
| [01:01.30] | Cause things change, am I the same one you fell for? |
| [01:04.44] | One side screaming "hell no" other side holding on for dear life |
| [01:07.91] | Lately bitch I feel like, I ain't that young frail nigga that I used to be |
| [01:11.70] | Pardon my ways girl, I'm still getting used to me |
| [01:15.76] | Cause things change, I'm still getting used to me |
| [01:18.41] | I ain't that old shy nigga that I used to be |
| [01:21.31] | Bitches watching niggas plotting on me, truthfully |
| [01:23.94] | Gotta be careful what you wish for, as you can see |
| [01:26.54] | Things change |
| [01:27.54] | <Hook: T.S. Desandies, Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)> |
| [01:28.13] | Things change, it'll never be the same |
| [01:32.27] | I've never been the one to settle, it'll never be the same |
| [01:36.91] | (Yeah, things change) |
| [01:38.78] | Nothing ever stays the same, it'll never be the same |
| [01:43.16] | (Things change) |
| [01:44.19] | Nothing ever stays the same |
| [01:48.41] | <Verse 2: Omen> |
| [01:48.67] | I told you, raindrops do fall |
| [01:50.31] | But see, these clouds ain't the same that you saw |
| [01:52.61] | My memory banks got some pain to withdraw |
| [01:55.49] | I am not afraid, I am not unscathed and |
| [01:58.27] | Don't use bandaids but, back in the days I was stressing a grip |
| [02:00.95] | The only black in my class wondering, where do I sit? |
| [02:04.67] | College campus too fast, now depression exists |
| [02:07.37] | Like I'm less than equipped, feeling destined to quit |
| [02:10.04] | Then you appeared, made me see myself without a mirror |
| [02:12.93] | See, I never shared all the fears of my peers |
| [02:15.68] | I'm thinking about this African queen, loved her body |
| [02:18.40] | But she's more than just the back of her jeans, she's a magical dream |
| [02:21.10] | I fell hard with such a frail heart |
| [02:23.91] | She taught me that A***h was just her way to spell God |
| [02:26.54] | And she was my American pie, so cultured |
| [02:29.18] | Her intelligence ahead of her time, looked at my face |
| [02:32.12] | And with a smile called me Elephant Eyes, a secret nickname |
| [02:34.78] | Always seems to settle my mind, cause I guess it reminds me of you |
| [02:37.71] | Which reminds me of love, which reminds me of truth |
| [02:41.08] | Which is all the above, recently liquors in my body, it's all on my tongue |
| [02:44.16] | I changed into something they thought I'd never become |
| [02:47.76] | Give you my food for thought, it's more than a plate of soul food |
| [02:50.56] | If you wanna change, gotta escape your own rules |
| [02:53.47] | Things change, bitch |
| [02:54.61] | <Hook: T.S. Desandies,Yolanda Renée (J. Cole)> |
| [02:55.00] | Things change, it'll never be the same |

| [00:22.38] | 拾起笔 是时候写下我的罪恶 |
| [00:24.90] | 纠正错误 再继续书写人生的篇章 |
| [00:26.79] | 妹子一个电话邀约 少不更事 我便深陷其中 |
| [00:29.93] | 完那些女人 再丢下她们扬长而去 只有对未来的追求 才能使我保持成功 |
| [00:32.64] | 钱还没赚够 争取盆满钵满到100万 |
| [00:35.60] | 愿望着这状态永远持续下去 我对破产有着一种与生俱来的恐惧 |
| [00:38.40] | 因为我了解很多人几乎付不起购车的费用 |
| [00:40.85] | 仅仅只够维持房租 我就像毕加索 |
| [00:43.50] | 自中学开始描绘我的说唱蓝图直至不朽 |
| [00:46.23] | 出身北卡 梦在纽约 造化一番成就 |
| [00:48.15] | 成功样板 时刻转换状态 混音带不断呈现 |
| [00:51.52] | 发名成业拿下说唱版图 最好有更大的盘子承载野心 |
| [00:54.24] | 你听到的 字字真言 |
| [00:56.00] | 会释放我们的思想 同时也会带给我们沉重的思考 |
| [00:58.88] | 有时 我宁愿沉静下来 头脑清醒 去看着我的财富增长 |
| [01:01.30] | 世间万物都在变化(唯独账户上的数字不会背叛你) 我还是你曾爱的那个人吗 |
| [01:04.44] | 一面尖叫着 喊着 该死的 不 另一面 却紧紧抓住我不放 |
| [01:07.91] | 时至今日 我已不再是当初满怀志气的少年 |
| [01:11.70] | 请求饶恕 我还在适应着自我 |
| [01:15.76] | 一切都在变化之中 我适应着变化之中的自己 |
| [01:18.41] | 不再如从前那样的青涩 |
| [01:21.31] | 女人些熟视无睹看着小人对我计划的密谋 真的 |
| [01:23.94] | 小心谨慎地对待你希望的 就像你可以亲眼目睹的一样 |

| [01:50.31] | 可你看 飘浮的云翳永远不会与你之前看到过的一样 |
| [01:52.61] | 经历的痛苦 撤回我 对我记忆的提取 |
| [01:55.49] | 无畏也不是毫发无损 |
| [01:58.27] | 别仅靠绑带 去愈合伤口 当你撕下它时的痛 刻骨铭心 |
| [02:00.95] | 班级里唯一的黑人-我 犹豫着 我应该坐在哪里 |
| [02:04.67] | 校园光阴转瞬即逝 抑郁心绪被留在体内 |
| [02:07.37] | 我远为对接下来如何做好准备 冥冥中注定是要放弃 |
| [02:10.04] | 接着你出现了 我在你身上看到了我自己而不再靠一面镜子 |
| [02:12.93] | 从未和我的同胞分担我生而俱来的恐惧 |
| [02:15.68] | 脑海中想着 珍爱自己身体上一切的非洲王后 |
| [02:18.40] | 但她不仅仅把自己藏在牛仔裤下 她大胆展露的样子 对我来说就像一个神奇的幻梦 |
| [02:21.10] | 脆弱敏感的心深感艰难 |
| [02:23.91] | 她教我 信仰阿拉 是她的同我们一样 向上帝祈愿的方式 |
| [02:26.54] | 她是我的美国甜心 如此深邃 |
| [02:29.18] | 她的智慧已经超越了她所处的时代 折射的光芒洒在了我的脸上 |
| [02:32.12] | 笑着叫我elephant eyes 一个我们之间的秘密外号 |
| [02:34.78] | 它总能平静我的心 一提起它 我就能想到你 |
| [02:37.71] | 呼唤着爱 提示着真理 |
| [02:41.08] | 这一切就如同酒存在体内 喉咙里留下无尽的韵味 呼之欲出醉人的气息 |
| [02:44.16] | 我进化成为 他们永远认为我成为不了的人 |
| [02:47.76] | 给与你 我的精神食粮 它不仅仅只是一盘灵魂料理(美国黑人料理) |
| [02:50.56] | 如果你想要改变 摆脱限制你的规则制度 |
| [02:53.47] | 万事万物皆无常 |
