UNCLE MURDA - Same Way lyrics

rate me

You don’t know what you got until you lose it

You don’t know what you got until it’s gone

We all came up the same way

Then grew apart in the same way

It’s kinda strange how the money and material things

Give a nigga a tad he can’t play

I remember I used to slain yay

Then with them bills I ain’t paid

So who’s to blame when society don’t want you to change?

They just want you to maintain plain

We started from nothing, we was poor

I had too much ambition, I wanted more

School and a regular job wasn’t gonna cut it

Got that…

I used to do the same thing

I see the pain in her face, I know she hurting

We can’t keep doing that, that ain’t gonna work

So we got that work and we made it work

Now instead of taking money, we put money in her purse

While she go to church

We all came up the same way

Then grew apart in the same way

It’s kinda strange how the money and material things

Give a nigga a tad he can’t play

I remember I used to slain yay

Then with them bills I ain’t paid

So who’s to blame when society don’t want you to change?

They just want you to maintain plain

You know society set up for us to fail

They give us poor education

They want us to go to jail

I was at the bottom like what the fuck?

Looking at the top like that’s a little bit up

I ain’t scared of heights, homie, so I got to climbing

I come from a dark place, now looking to shining

Only thing I’m scared of is God and the feds

Lost a lot of close friends and they ain’t even dead

…fuck the same page, we ain’t even reading the same book

Homie, you wasn’t struggled with me, you wasn’t there with me

Niggas that I start with is eating…

I don’t want my kids knowing nothing about no welfare…

They can keep their healthcare

We all came up the same way

Then grew apart in the same way

It’s kinda strange how the money and material things

Give a nigga a tad he can’t play

I remember I used to slain yay

Then with them bills I ain’t paid

So who’s to blame when society don’t want you to change?

They just want you to maintain plain
