Fucking bitches, doing drugs, this is what I do
In the mirror told my self, "There's not another you"

[Chorus: Enisa]
Though the money so loud
And the stage sold out
Ain't a damn thing change
Now the birds come out
See them chirping 'round
Yeah they want a taste
See my day went well
Because I'm real like that
Won't forget the days
I was dreaming hard
Yeah, I was born a star
Ain't a damn thing change

[Post Chorus: Enisa & (Joey Bada$$)]
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta (Bad Mon!)
Ain't a damn thing change

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Hold up, uh
Young Joseph
Steady climbing up the ladder, tryna to keep focus
These bitches' asses getting fatter make me feel hopeless
They just want the Magnum open
I just want the magnum opus
Consequences of a gold [?] rapper with the chickens in the kitchen on the stove tryna trap us
Got a new crib, didn't even get to put my plaque up
By the time I get the gold one I know it's going Platinum
Now they got a million and one questions to ask you
Got the world singing this song, could you imagine?
Pull up on the scene and the ladies get old fashioned
'Cause I'm only into flashing up the lights, camera, action
And the only law that I know is the law of attraction
So when it comes to fashion I just simply attack 'em
With the words and the melody
Fuck what you telling me
Nothing really changed '

[Chorus: Enisa]
Though the money so loud
And the stage sold out
Ain't a damn thing change
Now the birds come out
See them chirping 'round
Yeah they want a taste
See my day went well
Because I'm real like that
Won't forget the days
I was dreaming hard
Yeah, I was born a star
Ain't a damn thing change

Ain't a Damn Thing Change Lyrics

[Intro: Enisa]
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Statik Selektah
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change

[Verse 1: G-Eazy]
Statik I got you
Young Gerald
Living fast as a bullet straight out a gun barrel
And I won't touch hater's hands, you hella unsterile
My career trajectory is the up arrow
FedEx knocking, droppin' off platinum plaques
That's two in a row, I'm doing back-to-backs
My new show prices going to the max
I need half a mil', that's without adding tax
Look at me shining, pressure made a Diamond
This shit came together with perfect timing
I still feel normal, but this shit isn't common
The house was two million, and I'm still eating Ramen
I'm in the backyard like "What a view"
I never gave a fuck, this is nothing new
Fucking bitches, doing drugs, this is what I do
In the mirror told my self, "There's not another you"

[Chorus: Enisa]
Though the money so loud
And the stage sold out
Ain't a damn thing change
Now the birds come out
See them chirping 'round
Yeah they want a taste
See my day went well
Because I'm real like that
Won't forget the days
I was dreaming hard
Yeah, I was born a star
Ain't a damn thing change

[Post Chorus: Enisa & (Joey Bada$$)]
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta
Ain't a damn thing change
Sha-ba-da-ba-di-ta (Bad Mon!)
Ain't a damn thing change

[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
Hold up, uh

Establishing his own spot amongst the ranks of East Coast hip-hop's seminal figures, DJ/producer Statik Selektah utilized his turntabling skills and ingenuity in PR and promotions to break some of the region's most promising artists, bearing his own influence on the national mixtape circuit. Born January 23, 1982 in Lawrence, MA, Patrick Baril was exposed to production equipment at a very early age, tinkering with his parents' eight-track machine, cassette recorders, and turntable. By middle school, he was already DJing school functions, but he was inspired to be a true wheels-of-steel artiste after hearing DJ Premier scratch and mix records on Funkmaster Flex's Hot 97 radio show. Soon after, at 14 years old, he purchased his first turntables and mixer. Calling himself DJ Statik (the "Selektah" surname came later), he started to work clubs and private parties up and down the New England coast.

In 2000, after living in New Hampshire, he moved back down to Massachusetts to enroll in the audio production program at Boston's New England Institute of the Arts. That same year, Selektah started putting out mixtapes, namely his Spell My Name Right series. With his mixtapes and DJ gigs, Selektah never passed up the opportunity to champion local hip-hop from Boston and the surrounding New England area. In particular, Selektah was responsible for introducing fellow Lawrence, MA, native Termanology to the world, helming his Hood Politics mixtapes in the mid- to late 2000s. Managing all of these tasks became much easier when he established in 2003 his own PR/marketing firm ShowOff.

In 2006, he turned ShowOff Records into an official record label, with Termanology & Producer DC's Out the Gate LP as its first release. By this time, though, Selektah's prestige had grown considerably. His radio shows were playing in several places, from London to Mobile, AL; he produced beats for many artists, including Foxy Brown, AZ, and Joell Ortiz; and most importantly, the DJ dished out tons of mixtapes with big name and up-and-coming artists, such as Nas, Q-Tip, John Legend, Royce da 5'9" (The Bar Exam, co-hosted with DJ Premier), and Saigon.

Statik dropped his first LP, Spell My Name Right in 2007, and his follow up Stick 2 the Script album in 2008. Other artists he has produced for following that include Talib Kweli, Bun B, Styles P, Consequence, Freeway, M.O.P., and Jadakiss. Rockstar games reached out for Statik in late 2008 to enlist him as DJ and producer of the Grand Theft Auto IV update "the Lost and Damned", as well as 2 songs for Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

In March 2008, Selektah and Saigon recorded All In A Day's Work in a 24 hour period, and was acclaimed by critics. He also DJed for Q-tip on his 2009 Renassaince World Tour. Statik just dropped his third studio album, 100 Proof: The Hangover on Showoff/Brick Records.

In 2010 Statik Selektah released his fourth album, Population Control, on Duck Down Records to critical acclaim boasting features from a mix of up and coming MC's and well established veterans.

Statik's fifth album, Extended Play, was released on June 18, 2013, and features Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Raekwon, Sean Price, Mac Miller, Black Thought, Noreaga, Lecrae, Lil' Fame, Styles P, Mike Posner, Termanology, Freddie Gibbs, Bun B, Joell Ortiz, Posdnuos of De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Troy Ave., Hit-Boy, Smif-N-Wessun, Flatbush Zombies, and many many more.
