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 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

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 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

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
