Same Old Story

(álbum: EGO KILLS - 2021)

Didn't wanna post on the block, roll on an opp
It could cost lives just to go the shop
Did a headline, I was opening up
Now they tell me, "Wheel it, blud, go from the top"
From the top man came from the ground
Grew with the gangsters, I'm making 'em proud
Put on a brave face, bro's facing a trial
Used to dream of them figures, man's making 'em now
I just got mumzy a bag from Celine
Swear dirty money never looked so clean
Could've got bagged with wraps in my jeans
Now I rap so good they thought rap's in my genes
Father was broke, that weren't his fault
Big kettle, I just came back from the vault
And my young niggas all gassed with the smoke
I just told them, "Chill, take a toke"

Don't make a big decision off of your emotions
They'll trick you out of your position, gotta focus
Don't repeat other niggas' mistakes
Don't you see all the stories are the same?
Why take a risk if you're just gonna lose it all?
Don't you wanna be here with the mandem and ball?
Don't repeat other niggas' mistakes
Don't you see all the stories are the same? Oh yeah

Back to the cheddar, rap for the cheddar
10 racks on me, man, I never had a tenner
Still remember when I had to trap for the cheddar
Had crack all over my hands like a henna
Now I got the world in my palms
20 goons with me, they don't mean no harm
Khala's, apna's and my gura's
In the 15 with my bro from the farm
And he's in a vest talking about investments
Went school in the ends but we been freshmen
Anywhere we're sitting is the lit section
And any ting we pull up on is interested
Like, "Yo man, don't even want your number, what's your name?"
Bitches only ever really want me for the fame
One ting nearly made me think she weren't the same
Took her out, she nearly took me out the game

Don't make a big decision off of your emotions
They'll trick you out of your position, gotta focus
Don't repeat other niggas' mistakes
Don't you see all the stories are the same?
Why take a risk if you're just gonna lose it all?
She just wanna around with the mandem and ball
Don't repeat other niggas' mistakes
Don't you see all the stories are the same? Oh yeah

All the stories were the same
But man's living proof that tings do change
Niggas in Paris with a ting tryna French kiss
I just wanna order me a crème brûlée
Burnt that bridge, Henny in the fridge
I was riding dirty then man went lidge
New Benz, feeling like a new person
Got the same ting again but a new version
