Same Old

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 try not to fight but I was bored of it
 They say a flower won't bloom unless you water it
 I point to proof I made a move because he was [?]
 And often they never adopted me but who is your [?]
 I should've endorsed him
 Never the one to forfeit they closed the door we force in
 It's my knee that they horde in
 Turn off 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, coming from we couldn't sleep
 Some people told me the top was out of reach
 Especially when you are coming from the belly of the beast
 My momma said all the wanted was peace, me and my sister trying to find a way to cover the grief
 I was young and 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 [?] 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 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 at some times 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 I'm cutting it fine, you're getting older your [?] 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 [?] 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
