Lyrics

Same

[Intro]

Mango

Tyler Javeon

A-A-Ayo Bleu

Aw, yeah, aw, aw, yeah

Aw, yeah, aw, aw, yeah, yeah

Aw, yeah, aw, aw, yeah

Aw, aw, aw, yeah (Aw), aw, aw, aw, yeah

[Chorus]

Lord knows it's hard

In this world this ain't no way to live

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up, we gotta stay in this

Aw, yeah, I know it's not fair

Lord knows it's hard

In this world this ain't no way to live (Way to live)

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up

We gotta stay in this (Stay in this)

Aw, yeah, aw, yeah

[Verse 1]

They say times have changed (Yeah)

But I still feel the same (The same)

Too many of my people dyin' in the most wicked ways

Still see babies havin' babies, so young that it's a shame

So many of my brothers playin', still caught up in the game

[Pre-Chorus]

Still see these mothers and grandmas, they prayin'

I see some fathers tryin', hopin' they find their way

Havin' to choose your bills over meals when you slavin'

The kids need your attention, seem like no time to pay it

[Chorus]

Lord knows it's hard

In this world this ain't no way to live (Way to live)

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up, we gotta stay in this (Stay in this)

Aw, yeah, I know it's not fair

Lord knows it's hard (Hard)

In this world this ain't no way to live (Way to live)

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up

We gotta stay in this (Stay in this)

Aw, yeah, aw, yeah

[Verse 2]

Still see racist faces starin' at me

Still folks filled with hatred (Just let us be)

Nobody beatin' cases (But the police)

Say it changed but it's hard to believe 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause see these mothers and grandmas, they prayin' (Oh)

I see some fathers tryin', hopin' they find their way

Havin' to choose your bills over meals when you slavin'

The kids need your attention, seem like no time to pay it

[Chorus]

Lord knows it's hard

In this world this ain't no way to live (Way to live)

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up, we gotta stay in this (Stay in this)

Aw, yeah, I know it's not fair

Lord knows it's hard (Hard)

In this world this ain't no way to live (Way to live)

But life gave us these cards, how we play it is

On us, ain't no givin' up

We gotta stay in this (Stay in this)

Aw, yeah, aw, yeah

[Outro]

Aw, yeah (Yeah), aw, aw, yeah (Yeah)

Aw, yeah (Yeah), aw, aw, yeah, yeah

Aw, yeah (Yeah), aw, aw, yeah

Aw, aw, aw, yeah (Aw), aw, aw, aw, yeah
