Paroles: Cormega. Ain't Gone Change.

I ain't forget the hunger pangs
Stomach growlin' like thunder and rain
Fame calmed the savage that I once became
My status wasn't established from trying to get a name

It came from serving addicts lead and automatics bang
My physical form grew stronger in a Riker's Island cage
Only as to weaken so many of my people
Passed away like leaves in the wind

Or kids blowing ashes from trays
I possess the ghetto essence of that which I portray
I'm an emotional chameleon, see, how I adapt to pain
Before we enjoy the sun, we must first get past the rain

A lyricist similar to Donnie Hathaway
Clearly superior to many, all I really lacked was fame
The true meaning that fact remains
My presence is felt like the knicks when Patrick reigned

I'm living now, fuck, back in the day
Does freedom have a meaning if you trapped in your ways
I'm Queensbridge most respected rapper
That ain't gone change
