End Up Like This

Ay yo, we used to be young, dumb full of con But butt young bubble gum, we had no funds but we still had fun “Don't worry, be happy”that's what we was we was family Came from loved ones, blood relative, first and second cousins Brothers all from the same mother Now we act like we don't know each other We used to play with toy guns Now we bust real ones, shoot em up Kill Bill styling fashion, ay yo what happened Ay yo what happened Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ay yo, the vision that I see, it ain't the same no more, we used to tell the girls that we love em Now we callin' em hoes Summers are the past, was a blast when we cooked out Now we grab the phones sit alone in order to take out Kids played outside yellin' out names Now the fun and the excitments are in the video games Brothers used to speak “What's up? How are you?” Now it's “Homie, who da anchor? Why he lookin' at you?” Here it really blows my mind, how we changed our direction As the years go by, I gotta ask this question Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” We are in dire need, but what the Empire need When you are lyin' to me, it seems so far to me I got a glass side that reflects the fast life Then the acne probably be the latch key cool I used to upon and hit the streets, then hide my fogs then laugh at the fact from all the pain I caught The damage I laid was covered up with braids But Momma didn't know that I had changed my ways But don't judge me, harass my click You only doin' this cuz the neighborhood permits So try to explain just one thing... “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Yo, from all the money, and graffiti, under study to switch into musician And torrent across the country to Cuba and tours with Santana Helped me not to flip the script at doors with these bad manners, mann They ain't chasin', become the main pleasure, use a cane as a fiend to sustain your brain crusher Why you cannot see the fact that you da man, lead the plan Whoever cuz your choices affect your band members in the air, sick Later for business, what happened to friendship, the rest is just nonsense My natural response is just to roll up my fists and ask... “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?” Ta la la la la ta la ta ta “How did we end up like this?”…
