Same Way Uncle Murda (Ft. Eyez)

Hey you don’t know what you got until you lose it
Hey you don’t know what you got until it’s gone

[Hook]
We all came up the same way
Then grew apart in the same way
It’s kinda strange how the money and material things
Give a nigga a tad he can’t play
I remember I used to slain yay
But then with them bills I ain’t paid
So who’s to blame when society don’t want you to change
They just want you to maintain plain

[Verse 1]
You know, blame my environment for how I act
You know my neighborhood

We started from nothing
We was poor
I had too much ambition
And I wanted more
School and a regular job wasn’t gonna cut it
Lil brother stealing money out my grandmama’s purse
How I’m gonna be for him and try to explain things
He probably got it from me
I used to do the same thing
I see the pain in her face
I know she hurting
We can’t keep doing that to her that ain’t gonna work
So we got that work and we made it work
Now instead of taking money, we put money in her purse
‘Fore she go to church
