Lyrics Same Old - Kofi Stone

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
