[Verse: yU]
You got a million and one things to do
But grateful for the new hue
Spend my color wheel amongst the tried and true
Not the in it for the minute got tired and through
On to the next with no reflex, what's pride to you
Its like you put something together and forgot the glue
The difference between what to do and what not to do
You got youngans looking up, yo they are watching you
Because you dropped a j**el gave a spark that's like rocket fuel
Never blame, upper aims, switch lanes and things
You facing sunshine and rain the same
That wasn't how we raised
As a child we went through challenging thangs
Instead of complaining we made it up out of that maze
It was a crooked path, now we look back and laugh
Hahahaha
We come so far from cashing them food stamps
Born with rhythm to the beat we apply the dance
Jam for all of the ones who can't motivate the ma**
Elders said crowns ain't going to fit one with a swollen head
A king no room for a throne that's how you know he cares
About his kingdom, you seen him feeding his folks freedom by the plate
Not worried of others taking his place
[Chorus]
Same old thang no matter who's around
Here somewhere trying to lose the ground
Moving on up that's how we get down
Here somewhere trying lose the ground
[Verse: yU]
I'm here-- somewhere-- trying to lose-- the ground
For you to be brown, educated, and proud nowsdays is rare
They be open earred they mind was closed
And all you hearing is what is you wearing
They want a new benz with them rims on them twenty twins
Herb, splurge, the money spend honey soft skin
Came with the ride like the system inside
Temperature rise get a glimpse of them thighs and switch gears years and sincere
Yeah forget where from that'll keep you back
Friends scatter chasing them I ain't doing that
Up coming using that ladder to the stack
Getting racks above maximum teller never ask
That'll last tell the cash come slow
You look around
A bunch a bad checks you wrote, what to do now
Got a couple in your huddle said they holding you down
You need them seein' a piece sign disappear in the crowd
[Chorus]
Same old thang no matter who's around
Here somewhere trying to lose the ground
Moving on up that's how we get down
Here somewhere trying lose the ground
