Better wake up You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell Remember how it all began you and me against the world Just a guitar and a drum and all day long, we would rehearse That's way before the coke, the selfishness the greed The may load is the heaviest, so I must look out for me Way before the days of low self-esteem You see some people are and some people seem So they do anything to maintain what they want people to see By any means, they bow, it's that slave mentality Those days of innocence are in a sense What makes me keep the peace See we were friends, so I keep my demons on the leash Same ol' story Just another song Same ol' beat Just another drum Same ol' tune Recycled and redone Where did it get us? Look where we end up now Same ol' story Just another song Same ol' beat Just another drum Same ol' tune Recycled and redone Where did it get us? Look where we end up now You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell You just don't wish nobody well You're fattest crab in the barrel You drag anybody down who's reaching up to make it out
But now you're held captive by what you created for yourself Incarcerated in cell made of hatred for yourself And I can't help but hold unto the love that once was felt And I will not fight back seems like you forgot It was under my roof that you dwell, you eat, you sleep But now you fell like lucifer so deep and tell Same ol' story Just another song Same ol' beat Just another drum Same ol' tune Recycled and redone Where did it get us? Look where we end up now Same ol' story Just another song Same ol' beat Just another drum Same ol' tune Recycled and redone Where did it get us? Look where we end up now Love yourself, no You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell You wanna be in heaven now you're living in hell So you can get up lift your head up Stop the talk and get your sh** together Look in the mirror what you see Is that the man you used to be? You better wake up you, better rise Lively up and pay the price Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up Got to get up
