Tell me why, why it gotta be like this?
All of the deceit like this
When I die, I ain't tryna be like this
Time pass, we don’t always catch it
Why we worried ‘bout marriage, worried ‘bout life?
While we eatin' dollar slice but we worry ‘bout likes?
Ain't no value around do we worry ‘bout price if it’s black or it's brown?
We ain't worried ‘bout life
Why we wanna tell a story on the Gram, but don't know our own?
Why life one great big “when in Rome”?
Cause we only do what they say's cool, man, that's the only rule, man
And we all end up clones
And my God, I ain't got no time to waste with my squad
I wanna see all my people evolve
But we in a world where that seem so hard, so hard, so hard
Why the KKK got to stay, but the Panthers didn't?
While that strange fruit sway in the wind and we still ain’t had to answer to it
Abandon true-ness
Never never never never asked the white man to prove it
The hard truth? We don’t all get better with time
It's a matter of the weather and climate and whether the times’ll get better in time is the only question of mine
I regret I'm inclined to be hesitant cause evidence find
They say wine better with age, I tell ‘em people ain't the same
What we keepin' in the bottle only recreate the pain
I said no, no, no, not everybody grows
Say you’ll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed
Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be
I said no, no, no, not everybody grows
Everybody gets older
Not everybody gets wiser
Make it cold on my shoulder, be the fuel to my fire
Everybody wanna retire, everybody only care ‘bout what they desire
Everybody only do as much as required
Everybody feel the truth inside but speak lies for a long time
I was in the tunnel had to shovel for a minute
Had to make adjustments to the vision
Still go back to the dark just to visit
Still get livid if you try to tell me ‘bout a limit
Muhfucka what's that? Try to shoot me down, I'll bust back
I don't got time for the lames and neither do you
We all could know what genius could do
I could see it in you, I believe it is true
Just keep fightin' the fight to have dreams like you do
I can hear it it's proof, I'll be here when you blew
Here in the booth tryin' to speak it the truth
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Seeds don't grow if you don't tend to the garden
Lotta dead roots in the soil, my G
So if I don't stay around, beg your pardon, I gotta make moves to be who I could be
I swear, I swear
They say wine better with age, I tell ‘em people ain't the same
What we keepin' in the bottle only recreate the pain
I said no, no, no, not everybody grows
Say you'll learn when you get older but that shit ain't guaranteed
Don't get to be who you could be only who you dare to be
I said no, no, no, not everybody grows
