Same Ol Thang
[Produced by Dayzel the Machine]

It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang
It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang

[Verse 1]
Say my name, embrace your lane
Learn to fight all my demons just to share my pain
Jordans and chains, I walk through the flames from fortunate fame
Often insane, I’m just offing my brain
It’s all for the game, I see my people hustle til daybreak
I stay at home writing rhymes praying that they safe
You know I be right there out on the hustle if you need me to
Ima keep on preaching, leading, showing what the people do
Evil too but Evel Knievel I’m unbelievable, but reachable
Caught up in the struggle like I’m fiending to
I get really tired of the kidnaps and murders
Click-clacks and hearses so I spit raps and verses
Put that in cursive so it’s glamorized
Trying to not get buck fifty’d by a samurai
The urban kind, it hurts to shine
Just trying to get that new feel like it’s virgin time

[Hook]
My momma shot dope in the vein
It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang
Fucking Papa was a lame
It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang
I got to hustle for the limelight
It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang
From the rap game to the rhyme life
It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang

[Verse 2]
Getting tired of monotony, tired of the poverty
Tired of the frequent jail visits like it’s monopoly
Tired of convictions, I’m tired of eviction
Tired of the fact that we couldn’t ever be children
Tired of the rapes and violence, my patience dying
Tired of the gunshots, I hate the silence
Tired of the no sleep, why nobody knows me
Grinding everyday and still a chance here that we won’t eat
My soul speaks, it ain’t the happiest thing
Trying to struggle through a nightmare while grasping a dream
And when the light flash it’s only ambulance beams
And all the shadows that they cast is only damaging me
But what’s the point here in complaining?
They pointing and they aiming
And no amount of bitching makes that bullet go ????
So I’m a keep a smile and it’s the same ol thang
Try to grab my king crown you gonna break your mane(?)

[Hook]

It’s the same ol thang, it’s the same ol thang (x6)
