Lyrical Analysis of...
Same Song
- {Verse}
- '99, that B side, see me in Aberdeen,
- Where the rain falls heavy and the streets ain't always clean.
- People die and bullets fly, my people heavy there,
- Grew up knowing danger, learned to breathe that fucking air.
- Superman taught me we all born crooks,
- Everybody playing heroes till you take a closer look.
- Everyone else is just shook, so I stay blazing,
- Industry full of fakes, got these motherfuckers shaking.
- Bringing redemption like my name is Christ,
- Had to walk through hell just to understand the price.
- They see the man I am, never saw the kid I was,
- Never knew the shit I lived through or the things I had to overcome.
- From the cold streets of Aberdeen to the microphone,
- Had to learn to fight my battles when I stood alone.
- I ain't claiming I'm a savior, ain't pretending I'm divine,
- Just a soldier telling stories from the front lines of my life
- {Hook}
- You ain't walking with God, I promise your soul gets took,
- Everybody claims they're righteous till you take a closer look.
- I'm just writing like my life is the melody,
- Turning all these painful memories into my legacy.
- I done walked through hell, still got heaven on my mind,
- Had to learn to see the truth when everybody else was blind.
- They can judge me by my scars, they don't know what it took,
- God bless the child who survived when everybody else just looked.
- {Verse}
- This be the realest shit I ever wrote,
- Listen when I take you back, let me tell you what I know.
- About all my homies doing life inside the pen,
- Some I knew since we were kids, probably never see again.
- Since I was a youngin', I was applying pressure from the sidelines,
- Never gave a damn about the world trying to take mine.
- Had to grow up fast, watching everybody pick a side,
- Learned to read a motherfucker by the look inside his eyes.
- Seen the good turn bad, seen the bad become the worst,
- Seen a mother lose her son, watched another ride in a hearse.
- Everybody screaming loyalty until the pressure gets applied,
- Then the same ones calling brother are the first ones switching sides.
- I ain't glorifying shit, I'm just telling what I know,
- How a child becomes a soldier when he's got nowhere to go.
- All these years later, still remember every face,
- Some are buried in the ground, others locked away in cages.
- {BRIDGE}
- This rhyming shit ain't working,
- It's back to the block,
- Adding baking soda, making them rocks.
- Same old corners, same ticking clocks.
- I tried to leave that life, but the past won't stop,
- Every time I climb, feels like I'm destined to drop.
- They see the money, never see what it cost,
- Another fucking soldier trying not to get lost
- {Hook}
- You ain't walking with God, I promise your soul gets took,
- Everybody claims they're righteous till you take a closer look.
- I'm just writing like my life is the melody,
- Turning all these painful memories into my legacy.
- I done walked through hell, still got heaven on my mind,
- Had to learn to see the truth when everybody else was blind.
- They can judge me by my scars, they don't know what it took,
- God bless the child who survived when everybody else just looked.
