Same Old Mistakes

[Part I]

[Intro]
Shit
Have you ever fallen
Have you ever fallen
Have you ever cried
Ever died
But not for long
Have you ever fallen
Have you looked for signs (Long ass intro, damn)
Of the time (ARAM)
Uh, uh, uh
Ahem!

[Verse]
Have you ever fallen
For the same old mistakes
That you used to make
Way back in the day
When you wasn't who you used to be
And you took offence to the hate
When you wasn’t in the bеst mind space
Man, I really had to change
Man, I rеally had to grow up
Had to glow up, reach maturity
But you know I still keep shit poppin' everyday
I ain't talkin' 'bout puberty
You wasn't there for me when I was startin' out
You can't say that you early
I can tell you was one of those people
Givin' me criticism and scrutiny
Stupidly, it inspires me to bring too much heat
So I balance out with some jewellery
Lotta time passed, figurin’
How to find out, if you usin’ me
They gon’ try ride my wave, my shit rockin’ boats
Finna make you puke at sea
Killed 120 beats
Now I fuckin’ hate readin’ eulogies
(Why you do it then?)
‘Cause I gotta stay ballin’
Nah, I can’t be stallin’
I fast forward, never pausin’
Only one of y’all that’s honest
So there’s nothin’ in common
This question needs solvin’
Have you ever fallen?

[Interlude]
As one who has been in this horror
And the lingering sentence of war
As one who knows that another war at 180
Could destroy this civilisation
Which has been so shortly and painfully
Gone over thousands of years
I wish I could say tonight
That a lasting peace, is in sight

[Part II]

[Interlude (cont.)]
But not for long
Have you ever fallen
Have you ever cried
Have you ever fallen
Have you ever cri-
Ever died
But not for lo-
Ever died
But not for long
Have you ever fallen
Have you looked for signs
Of the time
Uh, uh, uh
(ARAM), ahem!

[Verse]
Guess I haven’t learned
From the same old mistakes (Same old mistakes)
Swear I’m gon’ be on top
‘Till I reach the golden gates (Golden gates)
Always prayin’ to God
Hope I don’t go today (Don’t go today)
No matter my rights or wrongs
Still gon' leave my soul to take (Soul to take)
I've done some shit in my life on Earth
That I ain't really proud of (Ain’t really proud of)
I ain't been lookin' for peace
I've only been lookin' for power (Been lookin’ for power)
And I've never been ok
For a minute, second, or hour (Second or hour)
Need to handle shit maturely
‘Stead of bein' a coward (Bein’ a coward)
Reminiscin’ on shit from years ago
Not just recently (Not just recently)
Gave a lot of people respect
They never gave equally (Never gave equally)
Never said that I'm not okay
Dealt with it in secrecy (With it in secrecy)
But I never change my ways
Fall for same shit repeatedly (Same shit repeatedly)
Fuck anyone who told me
“Two wrongs don’t make a right” (Don’t make a right)
You ain’t religious
If you keep on hopin’ that I take my life (That I take my life)
I’m aware I don’t really socialise
Prefer to stay inside (Prefer to stay inside)
I’ve caused so much pain
Haters can’t wait ‘till the day I die, so

[Outro]
Have you ever fallen (Yeah)
Have you ever fallen
Have you ever cried
Ever died
But not for long
Have you ever fallen
Have you looked for signs
Of the time
Fuck
Ah, I dropped my microphone
