[Intro: Olskool Ice-Gre]
Yeah, you know, we all go through situations
I mean, it's like, sometimes it's involved with family
Sometimes, you know, friends, sometimes relationships, you know?
But I had my share of problems just like everybody else, you know?
But you know, I'm an artist, so I write about it, that's how it is
I got a couple of stories I wanna share with y'all
Check this out, first verse go like this here

[Verse 1: Olskool Ice-Gre]
Every day that pass solidifies the days of my past
And how we started something and thought it was gon' last
And you had it all with a cat like me
Trust and honesty, that's how it's gon' be
So cool, I got your back, hoping you got mine
I'm listening when you talk in my shoulder
When you crying, I'm there
Even when your family clowns and lets your ex-boyfriend keep coming around
I know, he make them laugh, heard it all before
Shoulda checked at the door, but you was too slow
And me, I'm entertainment, you 9 to 5
My checks is for the mic, your checks is to stay alive
I'm like, "I got this company, watch it blow up"
You like, "let's have some kids and watch them grow up"
Woah, damn, did she even hear what I said?
It took her five to six months 'fore it stuck in her head, now I'm gone
[Chorus: John Legend]
Sometimes life is crazy
Situations bring [?]
Sometimes I wish maybe
You were with me always, but it's not the same

[Verse 2: Olskool Ice-Gre]
There was this one chick, they say look like me
I mean, this one chick was like a sister to me
I'm sayin' we was the tightest since the fourth grade
I'm talkin' walks to Popeys for biscuits and lemonade, it's on
In the Chi, she would rub my wrong
They would say, say, say, but I'd still stay strong
Like, "look, that's just a style, she cool, don't trip"
Fast forward, years later, can't believe she flipped
Tryna destroy my character and lie to her fam
She tricked me over money, she started acting funny
Disrespecting my mother, treated me like a dummy
It's wild 'cause I really thought she had my back
I mean, that's what she said, so I thought it was fact
So I'm forced to say out loud my sister friend is wack
And that ain't never how I thought this song would end
But you can bet your life I was her only real friend, I know it

[Chorus: John Legend]
Sometimes life is crazy
Situations bring [?]
Sometimes I wish maybe
Our friendship remains, but it's not the same
[Verse 3: Olskool Ice-Gre]
Now I face death, ain't never spoke on this before
'87, my pops killed, fam I hit the floor
It was like, you mean to tell me, I ain't gon' see him no more
And my sins no more and then I looked out the door at the sun
And I thought grandma lost her son, my grandad, so sad
I'ma be that one to change her whole life and make him proud of me
I got some cousins that'll show him just how to be
Even if my stepdad who raised me since age three
Ain't in my life no more, he still a father to me
What up dude? I know you working, trying to get that food
So I present this song, just know you not alone and this love
The good times is all I think of, man what happened to that? I wish it'd all come back
But it's like, since the divorce, conversation is forced
And it's hard to play it off but still, I play it off

[Chorus: John Legend]
Sometimes life is crazy
Situations bring [?] pain
Sometimes I wish maybe
You were with me always, but it's not the same
