Somewhere between they love me and they hate me

I can't let 'em know or show that it's been weighin' me down

Misunderstood on the daily, man, it's crazy

What they said back then and what they say to me now (facts)

Put it on the front like it don't faze me

But it cut deep enough to take a smile and turn it upside down

(You know, especially people you love)

Same, same, same, same (wassup)

Ain't nothin' changed but the time zone, everything's the

Same, same, same, same (wassup)

I been the same since I came through, baby (came through)

Ain't nothin' changed when I came through, baby (came through)

I been away, still the same way, baby (same way)

I been away, still the same way (still the same)

I been away, still the same way, baby

I been punchin' in the clock, I been really on my job

Locked in with the mob, put the time in (put the time)

They on neighborhood watch, think I'm slippin', but I'm not

I'm just aiming for the top, I been grindin' (I been grindin')

No cap, doing me like that (that)

Soon as I came up, they was hitting me right back (back)

Maybe I lack wisdom for giving 'em to a fault (fault)

Soon as they run it up, again, pack it up and they walk (walk)

So called friends switch up, 180, I'm sick but

Gotta keep it G'd up always (always)

In too deep, can't go back to them streets

Gotta stand on my feet, no off days (off days)

Everything on my mind, gotta leave that behind

In my past, keep my eyes on Yahweh

You know, you know the mission (mission)

You know the vision, you know I gotta keep, gotta keep

Same, same, same, same (same)

Ain't nothing changed, but the time zone, everything's the same

Same, same, same, same (same)

I been the same since I came through, baby (came through)

Ain't nothing changed when I came through, baby (came through)

I been away, still the same way, baby (same way)

I been away, still the same way (still the same)

I been away, still the same way, baby (still the same, same)

Run it up on me, yeah, I wanna pick it up on me

I thought you was the only, yeah, I thought you really loved me

Why you wanna leave me there lonely?

Run it up on me, run-run it up on me

Yeah, I wanna pick it up on me

I thought you was the only, yeah, I thought you really loved me

Why you wanna leave me there lonely?
