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
