Verse 1

Say we all start even? That shit ain’t real

Slip once and you might lose the whole deal

They climb with a harness, we climb on feel

We fall, they watch while having a meal

One wrong step, they call it over zeal

Corner stores turn from hope to steal

Sold us a script that don’t appeal

Mind stuck low, chasing a meal

Hate us for dreaming past the heel

Make em flinch cuz we won't kneel

Call it peace but they cop a feel

They dress up the chains with a rich appeal

Chorus

Wе don’t all get similar circumstances

Some gеt caught for a gram, some walk with an ounce

We don’t all get the same chances

But we in the same world fucking around and finding out

Verse 2

I ain't here to play the victim, shit I got mine

Been through the system

I see it like its carved in chalk

They build up walls, then blame the block

Watch how you talk, watch how you act

One wrong move, they assume the rest

Say we all equal, but that’s not a fact

What’s it to you, think you know best

Smile when they knock, but it’s still a trap

Trust only due when you look your best

Climb to the top, call it a cap

Struggle too soon, they’ll say you’re less

Chorus

We don’t all get similar circumstances

Some get caught for a gram, some walk with an ounce

We don’t all get the same chances

But we in the same world fucking around and finding out

Verse 3

Rules for thee but not for me

Don’t care unless the social inequality framed a different way

We probably won’t see the day

They Trade Places with Winthorpe and Billy Ray

Even though I only had a little bud in the bag

If my skin tone was different, it wouldn’t of been the same

Instead of drug tests in a halfway I would’ve been living there pissing away

Tell me how we’re not the same

But the rules change based on your name

If I look like someone that they trust

They just look the other way

But if I came up without as much

They’d just put me away

Chorus

We don’t all get similar circumstances

Some get caught for a gram, some walk with an ounce

We don’t all get the same chances

But we in the same world fucking around and finding out
