[Hook: Josh Brown and Xiang Gomez]
|
The more we try the more we hurt
|
So why do we do all this work
|
For what, so what, for what, so what, for what
|
So long to all the ones you¡¯ve known
|
We seem to part the more we grow
|
Oh no, don't go, oh no,
|
We say don't go, and watch them go.
|
|
[Verse 1: Lavell Jones]
|
That feeling where feelings they seem to fade away
|
Your heart was bumpin' just like the 808
|
Boom, boom, now you sittin' lone in your room, room like, "what I tell you huh?"
|
Talking to yourself going back and forth
|
Like this the same old thing that you did before
|
You, never try, and so you never learn
|
Relationships here, but then you both get burned
|
Reminiscing life back in my younger days
|
Now it seems life has me stuck all up in a maze
|
A wall here, a trap there, I look around, It's like no one's there, it¡¯s like no one cares
|
No one sitting on my side should I get more chairs
|
Is everybody saying like F my cares
|
I'm walking up these endless stairs
|
Will I ever be there?
|
|
[Hook]
|
[Verse 2: Lavell Jones]
|
I'll never give up on you when it¡¯s difficult
|
When things are going up and down like reciprocal
|
When everybody talking and we getting ridiculed
|
When everybody talking down and you feelin' low
|
When they ain't throwing teas man they throwin¡¯ bows
|
Will we make it out this life? Only Jesus know
|
And, hmm, only time can tell, it¡¯s either buy or sell
|
We by ourselves, with no one help
|
When I think I'm getting better
|
Why you shoot me down?
|
When I think I'm getting better
|
Why you shoot me down?
|
When I think I'm getting better
|
Why you shoot me down?
|
Pow, ouch
|
|

[Bridge: Eric Burton]
|
People who I knew
|
Sittin' here reminiscing bout the crew
|
Thinking bout the things that we'd usually do, when we were younger,
|
Still breaking all the rules
|
Still runnin' round and we act a fool
|
Turn my head and I see you
|
Right over my shoulders, shoulders yeah
|
|
[Verse 3: Lavell Jones]
|
Right over my shoulders
|
I said I was barely holding on to composure
|
Cause we were kids forced to grow up fast just thinkin¡¯ bout our past
|
But then again now it¡¯s never over
|
Now is it?
|
Life without the struggle, man dog please forget it
|
One word to describe our life is explicit
|
And if you leave boy come back and visit
|
And know the game boy, don't burn your bridges
|
Shh, do the dishes before momma wake up
|
Peace to you, find yourself, asalaam alaikum
|
She was too young, rest in peace Malika
|
It¡¯s crazy how life will shape up, don't break up
|
But, but, but, that's the beauty
|
And that's the pain
|
But that's the joy
|
And that's the rain
|
I ain't gon' lie, I¡¯d probably do it again
|
Made some mistakes, but I'd probably do it the same
|
I'm finna have a kid man how crazy is that
|
Bookie got murdered man how crazy is that
|
Aaron 20 years man how crazy is that
|
But I turn my head and I always see my niggas having my back
|
And that¡¯s, Derrell, Josh Brown, Andrew Newman
|
But really ain't nothing new man
|
From kids to now we is cruisin'
|
Our trust and bond is the truest
|
I pray to God we don't lose it
|
Pray to God we don't lose it.
