歌词
Yeah, hun, yeah, yeah
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
Uh
I try not to fight but I was bored of it
They say a flower won't bloom unless you water it
I point to proof I made a move, proceed with caution
And often they never adopted me
But who should force them, the liberty's awesome
I should've endorsed him
Never the one to forfeit
They closed the door, we force in
It's my knee that they hoard in
To love yourself is so important
Your glory days are over, man, I came to take your portion
I split the portions with my brothers so they eat
Coming from where we, coming from, we couldn't sleep
Some people told me the top was out of reach
Especially when you are coming from the belly of the beast
My momma said all she wanted was peace
Me and my sister trying to find a way to cover the grief
I was young and I was troubled, trying to find a release
Never was lost to the streets, found myself in a beast
The harsh realities, finding out nothing is free
Pardon me for wishful thinking
A brother can dream
We've seen things they never talk about
It's cold out around here
These brothers will draw you out
It's nothing to these brothers
Just something to talk about
There's kids dying around here, it's all frowns
I stray and got found, my soul must not drown
How many times I prayed? I lost count
Uh
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
Uh
Between mother and father there was always drama
Was nothing sweet, had me crying in the sheets
So it was deep
Reminisce, I was thinking it was me
Stuck up in this hell, my mind was never free
See, that was heavy on my heart as a kid
I was praying that they would fix this mess they never did
Few times change, but people don't always
And sometimes, more pain, and followed by more pain
And that's when you get hollow inside
So forgive me if I'm distant, I'm just lost in my mind
Searching for purpose
They told me I'm cutting it fine
You're getting older, your brethren might leave you behind
The pressure's heavy, can't this be your stereotype?
So fuck that, brother, I'm saying victory is mine
Picture me flying, them brothers couldn't fathom the grind
Rapping my heart out at times, I question why would I try
Sometimes I wish I could rewind to a simpler time
Then realize no time in my life was ever simple
I wasn't born sinful, my eyes used to twinkle
Then I got corrupted by the world, and it fizzled
If freedom only leads to my doom, I pray to a thousand angels
Reverse the curse when I'm dead in a hearse
I pray the Lord protect my steps, and everywhere that I turn
Made a couple of wrong moves, but you live and you learn
Uh, yooh
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats
You know how it goes
It's the same old, same old, the cycle repeats (repeats)
