So Long, So Wrong - The Roots, Betty Wright

We’ve done this so long, so long

How come we keep doing it wrong?

We’ve done this so long, so long

How come we keep doing it wrong?

It’s not your first time, Lord knows it ain’t mine

And we ain’t kids, we don’t have to hide what we did

It’s all the more reason, we oughta be seasoned

How can we show them the way if this is how we stay?

Why can’t you comprehend?

We keep going back where we’ve been

It didn’t work then, so why do it over again?

Wanna make this plain, brother you must love pain

Well I’ve had enough of that ride, time to step aside

Folks will be watching

Cause they don’t wanna miss a thing

Hard to keep myself from falling

It’s getting too hard to keep trying

Under the scope, magnifying

Under their scrutiny (scrutiny) all this mutiny (mutiny)

About you and me, they should let us be
