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