We aint been the same...
We aint been the same since...
We aint been the same since the hurricane...


Ian been home to stay for so long,
F*ck the lingo, where the landmarks gone,
Where the shawties at the Saint Bernard fair had gone,
Same as us, everywhere I suppose, I miss having em close,

Ian had girls like that before, but,
I'm grown now, Trinna see what you on,
Tell the city, we aint like each other some years ago, but,
Really, we ain't been the same since them levee's had broke,

We grown now,  experienced a side of the globe,
That got me back to morning the calm preceding the storm,
How things woulda played different had I stayed in the O,
But... I learned my lesson thinking like that before,

I hate my lack of accent, least you still in my soul,
I hate you gentrified, at least you ain't shitty nomo,
I hate the fact we ain't get the opportunity to be close...
God blessed us for a reason not a season, 

You still here, I'm still here,
I wanna make some music all city wanna hear, you coming first,
Ian Juvenile, Soulja Slim, Weezy, YoungBoy, none of them,
But what I speak, you gon hold it dear, mark the word,

I understand if my era of sound done been gone,
Or you'on wanna hear that shit cus people moved on,
I just wanna tell you if you never been told,
We ain't been the same since them levee's had broke.


We aint been the same...
We aint been the same since...
We aint been the same since the hurricane...


I hate I hold the trama close,
Like churches getting robbed, at like 4 years old,
My slipper dropped as Dad picked me up & went back for,
Can't tell if he my hero or we was just that poor,

Why are the horrible scenarios the most potent?,
Crying bout some children dying, how the news spoke it,
The air bags deployed, so did my emotions,
Shaking in my uniform, grandma had to hold me,

I get it tho, 
Close my eyes, have nightmares of years ago,
Change my mind, start rising to principal,
Reenforcing positivity with mental strokes,

Do my best to put the best times before,
Laughing till my head hurting with my cousins over,
Watching TV with Dad, sleeping on the sofa,
Boiling crawfish by grandma, with family over,

Maybe it changed when I moved away,
Weird to say, but the air ain't even the same, or so I think,
Man I dream of favorite place,
But looking forward, is it best if I stay away?,

Ion remember much, but I remember home,
Comparing the now to how much it grown,
Can't stay too long, or my energy is bound to get choked,
Cus we ain't been the same since them levee's had broke.


We aint been the same...
We aint been the same since...
We aint been the same since the hurricane...


The Parish I was born in was Orleans, 
Smelling above me, Blue house on Dalphine, 
Till we moved by Grandmaw, walk to school in the morning, 
Warm wind that calm me, Robert Frost taught me,
Grandma passed, parents split, the order kinda foggy,
Changes was flooding, depression calling,
Until I was told to get the f*ck up cus it's storming.
Until I was told to get up cus Katrina coming.
