Lyrics Another Way - Caleb Gordon

It's always the same thing every single time
Like a merry-go
Like I'm runnin' 'round on a ride
I follow the One who put His pride in my design
Who knew a youngin' from Ocoee
Turned this water into wine
Lot of 'em talk but they don't know me
No, they only see one side
Smiled a lot but I was lonely way deep down inside

Me and my dawgs was chasin' chickens, I ain't talkin' country fried
Way I was moving, I was trippin', consequences changed my mind
We ain't know we was in bondage while we was yelling, "Tied"
No hands tied behind our backs but our spirits yelling, "Why?"
Do we go back to the same old things and compromise
When we know that the same things lead to our demise

I know I got a message for my people, for my tribe
Will we learn our lesson, turn away from evil in disguise?
Or will my dawgs keep on beefin' with each other over pride?
I show 'em all another way, you don't gotta pick a side

Got me like, "Oh-oh, please let it go-oh-oh
All that hate up in your s-o-oul
Please let it go-oh"
I'm like, "Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
All that hate up in your s-o-oul
Please let it go-oh"

It's always the same thing every single time
Like a merry-go
Like I'm runnin' 'round on a ride
I follow the One who put His pride in my design
Who knew a youngin' from Ocoee
Turned this water into wine
Lot of 'em talk but they don't know me
No, they only see one side
Smiled a lot but I was lonely way deep down inside

Me and my dawgs was chasin' chickens, I ain't talkin' country fried
Way I was moving, I was trippin', consequences changed my mind
We ain't know we was in bondage while we was yelling, "Tied"
No hands tied behind our backs but our spirits yelling, "Why?"
Do we go back to the same old things and compromise?
When we know that the same things lead to our demise

What happened to my brother back then had me traumatized
I remember what you told me, I just wish I had more time
Can't blame it on being young, no, really I was blind
I had to go through the dark times to open up my eyes
Keep moving like I'm the man, but I ain't too tough to cry
I get to shakin' in my hands when I speak what's on my mind
You wouldn't know what I've been through if you looked inside my eyes
That's why I hop in the booth and give you pieces of my life

Got me like, "Oh-oh, please let it go-oh-oh
All that hate up in your s-o-oul
Please let it go-oh"
I'm like, "Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
All that hate up in your s-o-oul
Please let it go-oh"

It's always the same thing every single time
Like a merry-go
Like I'm runnin' 'round on a ride
I follow the One who put His pride in my design
Who knew a youngin' from Ocoee
Turned this water into wine
Lot of 'em talk but they don't know me
No, they only see one side
Smiled a lot but I was lonely way deep down inside

Me and my dawgs was chasin' chickens, I ain't talkin' country fried
Way I was moving, I was trippin', consequences changed my mind
We ain't know we was in bondage while we was yelling, "Tied"
No hands tied behind our backs but our spirits yelling, "Why?"
Do we go back to the same old things and compromise?
When we know that the same things lead to our demise

I know I got a message for my people, for my tribe
Will we learn our lesson, turn away from evil in disguise?
Or will my dawgs keep on beefin' with each other over pride?
I show 'em all another way, you don't gotta pick a side
