Same Road

I am the way I am because my childhood was mad
And I never thought I'd say it but I turned out like my dad
Had too much aggression and it sent it me right back
Probably the main reason I was running through them traps
Now my life's a blessing, I was never second guessing
I never opened up I was holding in aggression
Deep down I was drowning in my own depression
So I took it all out on the enemies pressin'

I was way too embarrassed so I had to let 'em have it
I was talking that smoke because I knew I could back it
And if I got smoked today I know my brothers would slap it
If it went the other way they already know what would happen
685, I still pull up in a German
I pull up next to cops, they see me and they burnin'
They see me as a burden, 'cause I'm by the books earning
Mum wants me back at church, but I don't think that I'm worth it

I feel like we can't escape, from the trap
But better things are on the way, we on track
And I promise that we here to stay, we won't go
If we in it then we here to play, we won't fold
One day we were going shine, just stay low
I got murder on my mind seeing a halo
I been busy tryna find another way home
But I always seem to find myself walking the same road

Yeah, see I never hesitated, to bang them triggers
There's not one war that I left mine with it
My heart's too big and my pride's so vicious
That local street kid sitting on six figures
One day I'm gonna make it out for my family
They hate on my name, but low-key envy me
I got plans to pop off if they want the energy
I take off my bali so the opps remember me
I was sitting in that cell thinking of a way out
I had to figure something I was sick of in and out
Forget about red, one day we gon' own a house
My whole team winning, that's what I'm all about
And we don't count favors there's no cost to the amount
Designer print, fit's very different now
I tap my card, toss the PIN to sort it out
But I still got bundles wrapped in bands to play around

I feel like we can't escape, from the trap
But better things are on the way, we on track
And I promise that we here to stay, we won't go
If we in it then we here to play, we won't fold
One day we were going shine, just stay low
I got murder on my mind seeing a halo
I been busy tryna find another way home
But I always seem to find myself walking the same road

I was selling out prisons now I'm selling out shows
Forget about greens I wanted patterns on my clothes
My brother just called me from that jail phone
He just heard my voice playing on the radio
Telling me to do my thing and stay out of trouble
Because he needs me out here to continue the hustle
He's been gone for six, so he knows the struggle
But he coming out soon so we splashing a couple

(I was looking for the way way out)
(Trying to find my way out)
(I can't stay the same
(No, no)
(I thought escape)
(You can't escape)
(I need the pain)
(The feelings fade)
(I need the change)

"Aye, what are you doing uso?"
"Aye, what's going on my brother?"
"Nah same old, chilling brah, same old, chilling, you home soon, huh?
"Yeah, I can't wait"
"Fuckin' oath"
"I miss ya brah"
"I miss ya too brah"
"Yeah, tell 'em we doing eetswa"
"Fuckin' oath uso, tell 'em we doing eetswa"
