[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 [Hook] [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 n***as 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
