Set In Our Ways

Whoa, that's sitting on the same old wall Saying back in my day, we had to give it all Walked up filled snow both ways Fading blood for these better days Kid down the block built a life online Flipped one skill into a gold mine They shake their heads, call it dumb luck rain Never see the grind behind that game Different roads to the same sunrise But we fight like only ones qualified We're so set in our way Might when someone finds an easier lane If they have to go by a different route Maybe that's something we should learn about Yeah, if the work got done and nobody got played Doesn't really matter how the bricks got laid You can curse the change or adjust your aim You'll stay stuck in yesterday If you're set in your way Some build dreams with a hammer and nails Some with a laptop and midnight mail One says Penny's in the coffee can One learns rules so they own the land We see the wind and assume no cause Like they never cry like they never lost But every shortcut's just a smarter map Not every ladder needs the same old rungs back If the bridge holds strong and the roof stays dry Why burn it down? Just cause you built yours high We're so set in our ways Guarding ghosts like they still Throwin' shade Yeah if the job got done and the heart stays sane Why hate the sun cause you like your reign You can fight the tide to learn the waves Either way you're gettin' wet Stayin' settin' your way Maybe all that pride we drag around Is just fear of bein' Left on the ground Cause it's easier to point and say unfair Than to admit we could have gotten there So if you see somebody make it quick Don't assume they cheated the script Ask them, teach me how you played Not you didn't earn what you just made But I'm done worshiping my own haze If you found a path with the lighter low Maybe I can learn from where you rode Yeah, if the dream came true and your soul stayed clear I don't wanna judge, I wanna volunteer We can grow, adapt, flip the page, or die on the hill We were set in our way
