Uh, I remember days when I would stumble on the pavement
Minus in my bank account on multiple occasions
Now I'm making money 'cause the money doesn't faze me, mm-hmm
And I'm still the same as I was before, nothing changed
And the ones I came with I'm putting on, ah
Only had to sacrifice peace of mind for demons in my head, mm
And it's killing you to see my ego aside
Bet you thought I'd lose my mind, I know
Oh, I know, ooh
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
Oh, even after all thе rainy days
Oh, I'm still the same, still the samе
I learned to rule my pride
The devil tried and I still survived
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
I remember days when I was singing for free
Now I'm on your screen, I'll soon be on your TV
Still you'll find me singing on the corner of every street every week
'Cause I was focused, oh, and sometimes I got hopeless
They wouldn't show me no love
Until they saw the blow up
And it's killing you to see my ego aside
Bet you thought I'd lose my mind, I know
Oh, I know, ooh
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
Oh, even after all the rainy days
Oh, I'm still the same, still the same
I learned to rule my pride
The devil tried and I still survived
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
I'll still be the same, even when my name's in the Hall of Fame
I'll still be the same, even if you came and took it all away
I'll still be the same, even when my name's in the Hall of Fame
I'll still be the same, even if you took it all away, oh
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
Oh, even after all the rainy days
Oh, I'm still the same, still the same
I learned to rule my pride
The devil tried and I still survived
Oh, you probably thought I would've changed
But I'm still the same, still the same
