Tell me why, why it gotta be like this?
All of the deceit like this
When i die, i aint tryna be like this
Time pass we don't always catch it
Why we worried bout marriage? worry bout life
Why we eatin' dollar slice but we worried bout Nikes?
Ain't no value around dude we worried bout price
If it's black or it's brown we aint worried bout life
Why we wanna tell a story on the gram but don't know our own?
Why our life one great big when in Rome?
cause we we only do what they say is cool man
That's the only rule man and we all end up clones
And my god,
i ain't got no time to waste with my squad
I wanna see all my people evolve
But we in a world where that seem so hard So hard so hard
Why the KKK got to stay but the Panthers didn't?
Why that strange fruit swayed in the wind
And we still have to answer to it, abandoned trueness?
Never ever ever ever asked the white man to prove it?
The hard truth? We don't all get better with time
It's a matter of the weather and climate
And whether the times will get better with time is the only question of mine
I regret i'm inclined to be hesistant cause evidence findin
HOOK:
They say wine better with age i tell em people ain't the same
What we leavin in the bottle only recreate the pain
I said no no no
Not everybody grows
Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed
Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be
I said no no no
Not everybody grows
Everybody gets older
Not everybody gets wiser
Make it cold on my shoulder
Be the fuel to my fire
Everybody wanna retire
Everybody only care bout what they desire
Everybody only do as much as required
Everybody feel the truth inside but speak lies
For a long time i was in the tunnel had to shovel for a minute
Had to make adjustment to the vision
Still go back to the dark just to visit
Still get livid if you try to tell me bout a limit
Mu'fucker what's that?
Try to shoot me down i bust back
I dont got time for the lames and neither do you
