[Verse] I’m from a place where the bullets hit the neighbors It’s different now Look at what the fame did But back then I was caught up in the changes I’m from the cages [Verse 2] I remember when the streets was all I knew We extorted 'em and did what we had to do But I knew it wouldn’t be long 'til the Feds came My life was different It could never be the same [Verse 3] There’s so many stories I could tell you You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been through And it’s crazy when I think of how it changed I was different then And then I went away [Chorus] From the cages to the stages From the cages to the stages From the cages to the stages From the cages to the stages [Verse 4] It’s crazy I’m out here on the stages From jail cells to the top of the playlist It’s crazy The money How it changed us It’s different now But I’m still the same [Verse 5] Still the same But I’m different Still the same But I’m different From the cages to the stages It’s different now Look at what the fame did Still the same But I’m different Still the same But I’m different From the cages to the stages It’s different now Look at what the fame did Still the same But I’m different Still the same But I’m different From the cages to the stages It’s different now Look at what the fame did Still the same But I’m different Still the same But I’m different From the cages to the stages It’s different now Look at what the fame did
