[Intro:]
The more things change
The more they stay the same
We only have ourselves to blame
Uh, check me out

[Verse 1:]
Yo, they say you need to get a job n***a
Quit trying to just rhyme to get by n***a
I'm like, maybe you got a point, but definitely I've got a joint
To smoke, and that new joint I just wrote that's dope, boy
I'm just hoping to stay afloat
And avoid having my life demoted to a joke
So I smoke and write rhymes to cope
Though life blocks my blow I keep the prize in my scope
And keep charging through
Without making music my everyday would be nothing new
And the sad reality I've run into is on the real
There really ain't nothing else I can do
Other then bagging up hoodrats there's nothing I'm good at
So fuck a job app, I just rap
And fight to make it out the matrix
Prisoner to my vice and can't escape it

[Hook]
It is telling me that, I cannot escape
It is telling me that, I cannot forget
Just like a broken record
Repeating it to me
You're getting my attention
It makes me weary
[Verse 2:]
They say love conquers all
It can launch you skyhigh either or cause your downfall
And cause the tears to storm like a downpour
Transform your outlook, make you frown more
When the lines get blurred between love and war
Find yourself wondering what you're loving for
Such a shady thing this lovegame
Put a pain in your brain that remains like a bloodstain
Put a scar on your heart
And when your heart is scarred it's darn hard to keep from falling apart
So every relationship that I spark
Already gets off on the wrong foot from the start
Damn, you see I can't take the loneliness
So getting spilled when they approach, I don't resist
Just pray she leads me out the matrix
Prisoner to my vice and can't escape it

[Hook] (x2)

[Verse 3:]
Hey yo I miss her when I'm not with her
Please believe she be the key piece to complete my picture
Every morning begins when I get up and twist her
Backwoods, Peach White Owl or Sweet Swisher
Time flies when you're high
On the couch thinking bout how time flies
That's why I've mastered procrastination
And at times I lack drive and motivation
So unpatient, but that's just me, ain't gon change it
Weed is what I maintain with
And though it was my gateway to different trips
I don't forget my first love is twisting spliffs
Married to Mary Jane, when life makes me insane
She carries the weight of pain, yeah
Help me make it out the matrix
Prisoner to my vice and can't escape it
[Hook] (x2)
