Eli Brown - Another Day Lyrics

Another day same attitude
Same mindset yep I'm still stuck of my ways
Reminiscing about some old shit from back I'm the days
When I got stabbed up and laid up in a hospital bed

We were young and infamous
Intoxicated so much shit we ain't give a f*ck about anybody
Or any thing for that matter not even ourselves
Cause by the end of the night a bottle landed in somebody's head

Next day we call each other up like what's good
Hit the spot and relive the same night yo
Nowadays I see y'all on the same shit
Some of us grew up but y'all on the same shit

Bum Mother F*ckers Hanging at the liquor store
I see you in the streets you begging me for money for some smokes
Couldn't hold a 9 to 5 if your life depended on it
And you wonder why you just a broke nigga

I hate calling you nigga but you implemented nigga ways
Calling you brothers niggas and your women bitches
But who am I to judge you
To each his own just remember life is like a mirror

What you see is what you get
What you broadcast is what you gone receive back
What goes around always comes back around
Like a f*cking windmill life in cycles until you break the wheel

Yeah I mean life is like a mirror man
What ever you put out there that's what you gone get back man
If you want anything to change man
You gotta break that cycle man break that wheel man
Either that or you gone be stuck like a hamster on a hamster wheel
Never going anywhere

Now that I see shit clearer
I understand enough to crush the f*cking wheel yo
That's why I refuse to be another statistic
Linked to a racial claim that all blacks could either hoop or rap

If not that they'll be dead or in jail by 21
Either that or they'll be serving feens in the trap
Going to war over blocks they never owned
Killing each other because of the wrong color clothes

Me I make my own f*cking destiny
I don't let nobody dictate over me
We're not the same don't be getting confused
You might think that we're alike but shit I'm nothing like you

Your about the quantity I'm about the quality
Your on a get rich quick scheme I'm laying brick by brick
After I'm done homie ain't no knocking this shit
This is a message to my brothers out there trapping and shit

Ain't shit over until the fat lady sing
So go to school learn the white man's game I said
Ain't shit over until the fat lady sing
So go to school learn the white man's game

You wanna tear down the system
The shit is done from inside
This is chess not checkers learn the ropes or you'll hang homes
This is chess not checkers learn the ropes or you'll hang homes

Yeah you wanna make your life better
Go to school man learn the white man's game man
That's the only way you gonna ever change anything in your life
Shit you gotta learn the ropes man
If you don't learn the ropes you gonna hang man
Like hangman ha ha yeah
