Same Old Thing

(hook)
No I don’t know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old thing
But I don’t know why

(verse 1)
Yeah
I hate to say farewell
I close the book of our story that didn’t really fare well
What’s there to tell when we both understand it?
If we both meet in the stars then I know it’s meant to be, we moved the planets
No more tears from the pain that I harbor
Not many people are blessed with a partner
Humble & gentle & when it crumbles then it falls even farther
Its crazy 28 years later I get to meet my father
Life is funny when you find the laughter
Not really focused on the end, or happy ever afters
I’m focused on what matters
Some things don’t add up even when you have all of the factors
Mirror mirror on the wall, but the reflection’s shattered
Let me step back..
A moment of reflection misunderstanding connections
So many things I have written under confessions
That I gotta speak, this shit is heavy man I gotta sleep
Feel like my eyes close once a week

(hook)
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why

(Verse 2)
Pain, since I’ve lost you, I’m lost too
Nigga feelin’ like he at the bottom like a horse shoe
Sorry for the trouble that I put you & ya heart through
Remember when I asked for a part 2
Or more like a part 2 thousand I got an announcement, I’m sorry for wildin’
Rented ya heart & got evicted, lies were all detected
Tell me what you suspected
How we together but we not connected? I’m someone you never expected
To enter ya life, I coulda made you a wife
But how we cut all ties, look in my eyes, watchin’ you cry
I don’t know why we let it get to this state
& yet I think about you still to this day
I had to grow up & be the man that you knew I could be
Who you could see, & figure what I’m doin’ for me
Hope when we meet then the universe tells us what we could be
Hope when we meet, that the universe had kept you for me
Hope when we meet.. Yeah, hope when we meet

(hook)
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why

(Verse 3)
I had to stop asking why & start asking how
Stopped settling for later, only taking now
Wow, you lift me up when I would put me down
I tried flying they would shoot me down
Mama look at me now, I really hope you live forever
No matter the weather anything that hurts you let me make it better
I’m dead focused on the center I’m on it
I couldn’t tell you the feeling, I lost it
I couldn’t think of my confidence as a weapon for a better purpose
I had to cover the pain with a better surface
Hide the panic in a better circus
I couldn’t tell you how many times I was afraid to walk up in them churches
I had those urges to tell it all in my greatest verses
But I was stagnant & nervous I don’t know why I let them make me lose my only purpose
I’m worth it all even if you think I’m worthless
You tell me mine, but tell me what your worth is.. think about it

(hook)
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why
Know why.. I really don’t know why
& yet they still ask me, the same old things
But I don’t know why
Why do I question all the things.. Inside..
