Ever Was

[Verse 1]
You saw my face on the telly
You hit me up on my celly
So many how ya doin's, how you been's
Asking me how does it feel to win
I know success brings some demons
And I ain't even broke even
Yeah, you like me now, you think that I'm a king
Yeah, everybody's kissing on the rings, but

[Pre-Chorus]
If you only knew half of the struggle
So much to lose crown in the rubble
It's lonelier than I could ever say

[Chorus]
But I still have the same blood in my veins
I still turn my head to the same name
Place me on a throne it won't change me
Never, never, never, never, never
I'm same as I ever was
I'm same as I ever was

[Verse 2]
I contemplate what I'm doing
Building kingdoms on somebody else's ruins
Yeah, sometimes I just want it to stop
Having a room of people tell me if I'm good or not
Yeah, it's a bitch tryna fit in
When there's so many pieces missing
Would you love me if they said I was a joke?
Yeah, perception is a hand around the throat
[Pre-Chorus]
If you only knew half of the struggle
So much to lose crown in the rubble
It's lonelier than I could ever say

[Chorus]
But I still have the same blood in my veins
I still turn my head to the same name
Place me on a throne, it won't change me
Never, never, never. never never
I'm same as I ever

[Bridge]
Giving it all away
Cause tying it up in chains
Makes me die a little, die a little
Leaving it all to fate
Waking up every day
To touch the sky a little
Till it's mine a little

[Chorus]
But I still have the same blood in my veins
I still turn my head to the same name
Place me on a throne, it won't change me
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
[Chorus]
But I still have the same blood in my veins
I still turn my head to the same name
Place me on a throne, it won't change me
Never, never, never, never, never
I'm same as I ever was
I'm same as I ever was
