Same Old

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] I tried a nine to five, but I was bored of it They say a flower won't bloom unless you water it A point to prove, I made a move, proceed with caution An orphan, they never adopted me but who should force 'em Delivery's awesome Should've endorsed him Never the one to forfeit, they closed the door we force in It's my knee that they're hoarding To love yourself it's 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 was coming from we couldn't sleep Some people told me that top is out of reach Especially when you're coming from the belly of the beast My mother said that all she wanted was peace, me and my sister trying to find a way to cover the grief As a young 'un I was troubled trying to find a release, never was lost to the streets, found myself in a beast The harsh realities founding out nothing is free, part of me wished for wishful thinking a brother can dream We've seen things that never talk about It's cold out around here these brothers will draw you out It's nothing to these brothers to something to talk about There's kids dying around here it's all frowns I strayed and got found, my soul must not drown How many times I prayed I lost count [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Uh Between my mother and father there was always drama Was nothing sweet , had me crying in the sheets, 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 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 that I'm cutting it fine, you're getting older your bredrins 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 brother 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 fizzle If freedom only lead to my doom I pray to a thousand angels Reverse the curse when I'm dead in a hearse I pray to Lord protect my steps and everywhere that I turn Made a couple of wrong moves but you live and you learn Uh [Chorus] 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
