Marsel-IS - Same Ol' Story lyrics

[Intro: Marsel-IS] Ya Think about it [Verse 1: Marsel-IS] Uh In high school he was placed in advanced cla**es But now he can't do the math on the people that were subtracted From his life and were added to caskets Where he from the only shooting that was done was with, (gunshot sound) Never with baskets, man Its hard to breathe when this violence pollutes the air He sits and stares at the ghetto as if it's a set of stairs Trying to reach the top, It's unrealistic to make it there The only people he witnessed were rappers and ball players, uh In his community, ignorance is immunity To the illness of cruelty, never thought that the moon would be a Place that they soon could be Only a**umed to be k**ers or dealers, villains or thieves Are all that you can see in His dark complexion, everyday Satan tests him And he feels he keeps on failing cause he's never had no lessons On how to reach Jesus so he can teach him the right direction out So the pain keep going, it's the same ol' story [Hook: Marsel-IS] (It's the same ol' story) Same ol' story, (Same ol' Story) x3 Look Cause when these bullets start to pour And blood spills on the floor And life is something very few can afford You get the same ol' story (You get the same ol' story) Get the same ol' story (Get the same ol' story) [Verse 2: Marsel-IS] Uh In high school he was always skipping his cla**es But easily did the math on the people that he subtracted From his life and added to caskets Where he from the only shooting that was done was with bullets Never with baskets So in this cold world, he keeps the heat on his side Man he feels so close to hell he let these demons be his God With no father there to guide him It's getting harder to take care of momma Trying to provide her with everything his dad never got her And so he's on these streets, trying to make some dough To get some bread from selling dope, so his family can eat And if anybody tries to prevent that He ain't ever afraid to treat their life like a keyboard And press delete, see His aggression with that weapon's what prevents him From pa**ing the Devil's testing Cause hes never had no lessons in how to reach Jesus So he can teach him the right direction out So the gun he keeps holding, it's the same ol' story [Hook] [Verse 3: Marsel-IS] Ya, As a black man in the 'burbs I'm just trying to stand up For my people who trapped inside of the struggle Who mainly strive to do right but they left surrounded by trouble Your heart is so full of hate cause you lost the people that loved you! Man it's the same ol' story but yours don't have to be The story of your life has potential to be a masterpiece Cause you're a piece of the heavenly master Confront your past put it past ya, then after that you write a new chapter See in this world, being positive is a negative If i got to live ignorant I'd rather die intelligent My mind is worth more than diamonds so ain't no way I'm selling it God's the author of my life story and I'm just telling it! You're either a slave to your past or the king of your future You either shoot for peace or grab the piece and be a shooter Every decision you make creates a new chapter for ya So in the hands of your present and future holds a new story Ya, a brand new story [Outro] To be continued
