Same Way - Uncle Murda, GMG, Keyz

Hey you don’t know what you got until you lose it

Hey you don’t know what you got until it’s gone

We all came up the same way

Then grew apart in the same way

It’s kinda strange how the money and material things

Give a nigga a tad he can’t play

I remember I used to slain yay

But then with them bills I ain’t paid

So who’s to blame when society don’t want you to change

They just want you to maintain plain

You know, blame my environment for how I act

You know my neighborhood

We started from nothing

We was poor

I had too much ambition

And I wanted more

School and a regular job wasn’t gonna cut it

Lil brother stealing money out my grandmama’s purse

How I’m gonna be for him and try to explain things

He probably got it from me

I used to do the same thing

I see the pain in her face

I know she hurting

We can’t keep doing that to her that ain’t gonna work

So we got that work and we made it work

Now instead of taking money, we put money in her purse

‘Fore she go to church

You know society set up for us to fail

They give us poor education

They want us to go to jail

I was at the bottom like what the fuck?

Looking at the top like that’s a long way up

I ain’t scared of heights, homie, so I got to climbing

I come from a dark place, now looking to shining

Only thing I’m scared of is God and the feds

Lost a lot of close friends and they ain’t even dead

‘fuck the same page, we ain’t even reading the same book

Homie you ain’t struggled with me

You wasn’t there with me

Niggas that I start with is eatin' Mr. Chow wit me

I don’t want my kids knowing nothing about no welfare

Tell the government we don’t need none of that fake healthcare

They can keep their healthcare
