Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]Never, never, never, never, [Em]change
Never change, this is Jay every day
I never [F]change
I'll never change, this is Jay every day
I never [Dm]change
Never change, this is [G]Jay

[Verse 1]
[C]I am a Roc representer (Oh[Em])
Summer to winter (Oh), dead or alive [F](Uh)
24 7,
three-sixty-five
[Dm]One CD or three hund[G]red and sixty pies
[C]What's up to E and Kirk?
Welcome home to Taj
[Em]Let no amount of money ruin this thing of ours
[F]We run streets like drunks run streetlights
[Dm]We collidin' with [G]life as we speak
[C]We knee-deep in coke,
we key-deep in [Em]ice
We flood streets with dope,
we keep weed to [F]smoke
We all fish, better teach your [Dm]folk
Give him money to [G]eat,
the next week, he's [C]broke
'Cause when you sleep,
he's reachin' for your throat
[Em]Word on the street,
you reap what you [F]sow
Not out of fear,
but love, love for the [Dm]game
Roc family [G]first, we never change, man

[Chorus 1]
[C]Never, never, never, never change
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime,
'cause crime pays (... [F]change)
Out hustlin',
same clothes for days (... never [Dm]change)
I never change, I'm too [G]stuck in my ways
Who [C]you know like Hov? (... never change)
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
(I never [F]change)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days
(I never [Dm]change)
I never change,
I'm too [G]stuck in my ways, I'll never...

[Verse 2]
[C]What's up to my Miami
and St. Thomas connects?
[Em]I'd never mention your name,
I promise respect
[F]Death before dishonor, correct?
[Dm]Yup, that's what you promised [G]me
since the Bomber League
[C]Along with if we stay strong
[Em]We can get paper longer than Pippen's arms
[F]Plead the Fifth
when it comes to the fam
I'm like a [Dm]dog, I never speak, [G]but I understand
Where my [C]dogs at? Where my soldiers at war?
Where your [Em]balls at? Woah, gotta pause that
[F]Lost ninety-two bricks, had to fall back
Knocked [Dm]a nigga off his feet,
but [G]I crawled back
[C]Had A1 credit, got more crack
From [Em]the first to the fifth, gave it all back
[F]If I'm not a hustler, what you call that?
This is be[Dm]fore rap
this is [G]all fact I never ...

[Chorus 2]
[C]Never, never, never, never change
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime,
'cause crime pays (... [F]change)
Out hustlin',
same clothes for days (... never [Dm]change)
I never change, I'm too [G]stuck in my ways
Who [C]you know like Hov? (... never change)
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
(I never [F]change)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days
(I never [Dm]change)
I never change,
I'm too [G]stuck in my ways, I'll never

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

[Chorus 3]
I'll never ...
[C]Never, never, never, never change
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime,
'cause crime pays (... [F]change)
Out hustlin',
same clothes for days (... never [Dm]change)
I never change, I'm too [G]stuck in my ways
Who you [C]know?
(... never, never, never change)
[Em]I'm still fuckin' with crime, 'cause crime pays
(I never [F]change)
Out hustlin', same clothes for days
(I never [Dm]change)
I never change,
I'm too [G]stuck in my ways, I'll never...

[Outro 1]
This is [C]Jay every day
[Em]Who you know[F] like Hov,
