"Never Chage" lyrics - KANYE WEST

[Intro: Jay Z]
Never, never, never, never change
Ain't never changed, this is Jay, every day
I never change
I never change, this is Jay, every day
I never change
I never change, this is Jay

[Verse 1: Jay Z]
I am a Roc representer, Hov, summer to winter
Hov, dead or alive, 24/7, 365
One CD or three hundred and sixty pies
What's up to E and Kirk? Welcome home to Taj
Let no amount of money ruin this thing of ours
We run streets like drunks run street lights
We collidin' with life as we speak
We knee-deep in coke, we ki deep in ice
We flood streets with dope, we keep weed to smoke
We all fish, better teach your folk
Give him money to eat, the next week he's broke
'Cause when you sleep he's reachin' for your throat
Word on the skreet, you reap what you sow
Not out of fear but love, love for the game
Roc family first, we never change, man

[Hook: Kanye West (Jay-Z)]
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
Out hustlin', same clothes for days (I'll never change)
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change (Who you know like Hov?)
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays (That's right)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change (I'm too stuck in my ways)

[Verse 2: Jay Z]
What's up to my Miami and St. Thomas connects?
I'll never mention your name, I promise respect
Death before dishonor, correct?
Yup, that's what you promised me, since the Bomber League
Along with, if we stay strong
We can get paper longer than Pippen's arms
Plead the fifth when it comes to the fam
I'm like a dog: I never speak, but I understand
Where my dogs at? Where my soldiers at war?
Where your balls at? Whoa, gotta pause that, whoa
Lost 92 bricks, had to fall back
Knocked a nigga off his feet, but I crawled back
Had A-1 credit, got more crack
From the first to the fifth, gave it all back
If I'm not a hustler, what you call that?
This is before rap, this is all fact; I never change

[Hook: Kanye West]
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
Out hustlin', same clothes for days (That's right)
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change (Who you know like Hov?)
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays (Never change)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days (Come on)
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change

[Verse 3: Jay Z]
What, the streets robbed me, wasn't educated properly
Well, fuck y'all, I needed money for Atari
Was so young my big sis' still playin' with Barbie
Young brother, big city, eight million stories
Old heads taught me, youngin, walk softly
Carry a big clip, that'll get niggas off me
Keep coke in coffee, keep money smellin' mothy
Chains is cool to cop but more important is lawyer fees
That's how it is now, that's how it'll always be
I never change, this is always me
From the womb to the tomb, from now until my doom
Drink Army from one cup, pass it around the room
That's the ritual, yup, Big Ran, I ain't forget you, fool
And all that bullshit you tryin' to get through
This is crew love, move music or move drugs
Rival crews, get your black suits up; I'll never change

[Hook: Kanye West]
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays (Come on)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change (Who you know?)
I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
Out hustlin', same clothes for days (Come on)
I'll never change, I'm too stuck in my ways
I never change

[Outro: Jay Z]
This is Jay, every day
Who you know like Hov, nigga?
