Not The Same Man (2026)

[Intro: phone rings 3 times and beeps] **(RING)** **(RING)** **(RING)** **(Beep)** [Spoken words] "Hey, bro. I know it's been almost 20 years. How've you been? Oh, Me? Man, I got some shit to tell you....." [Verse 1] It's been a while since I talked to you. I've been doing fine, hope you have been too. How's the ol lady? How bout your kids? We ain't been connected, I ain't seen your vids. Yeah, man, it's really been that long. I got clean and I'm still standing strong. I don't do that shit no more, I'm done. I ain't young no more, that shit ain't fun. [Chorus] Running streets, raising hell, chasing highs, Turned into rent checks, car notes, and 9 to 5s. We ain't young no more, reminisce while you can. The truth of the matter is, I'm not the same man. [Verse 2] Yeah, I know, we did some crazy a*s shit. Run the streets, dubs in hand, lookin' for a hit. We raised hell in the hood when we were young. Fingers to the sky, "f**k the world" We sung. But we all grown up, now. Too old for that game. I'm a different man, now. I'll never be the same. [Chorus] Running streets, raising hell, chasing highs, Turned into rent checks, car notes, and 9 to 5s. We ain't young no more, reminisce while you can. The truth of the matter is, I'm not the same man. [Verse 3] I traded breaking jaws for breaking a sweat. I work long days, make money, got my life set. I got stacks of bills to pay and a family to feed. I can't do that wildin out, fighting, slinging weed. I work to pay bills, do what's right for my fam. I got older, slowly changed. I'm not the same man. [Chorus] Running streets, raising hell, chasing highs, Turned into rent checks, car notes, and 9 to 5s. We ain't young no more, reminisce while you can. The truth of the matter is, I'm not the same man. [Chorus] Running streets, raising hell, chasing highs, Turned into rent checks, car notes, and 9 to 5s. We ain't young no more, reminisce while you can. The truth of the matter is, I'm not the same man. [Outro: Clicking of an answering machine] [Spoken words] "Maybe you can give me a call back some time. I miss talking to you."
