lirik lagu same streets - devesh barron
yeah, uh
same streets, different eyes though
let me tell you ’bout this sh~t (uh)
started on the corner where the jazz cats used to blow
saxophone echoes still bouncing off these buildings, yo
mama told me “baby, don’t you trust these f~ckin’ roads”
but i was 16, pockets empty, had to chase the dough
brownstone steps where i learned to count my blessings slow
now i’m 25, still walking where the hustlers go
same block, different dreams ~ watch how fast the time flows
gentrification creeping, pushing out the folks i know
old heads smoking newport, telling tales from way back when
corner store got bought out, ain’t the same since then
used to be my refuge, now it’s craft beer and expensive pen
neighborhood changing faces like a deck shuffle again
but i’m still here grinding, trying to make these dollars bend
writing rhymes on napkins that i probably won’t send
city got me twisted, don’t know who’s my foe or friend
same streets…
same streets but they don’t feel like home no more
same streets but they don’t feel like home
same streets but they don’t feel like home no more
same streets, same streets
but they don’t feel like home
morning rush got me thinking ’bout my father’s hands
worked construction, built these towers, never owned no land
told me “son, you gotta have yourself a backup plan”
but music in my blood, can’t n0body understand
bus ride to the studio, passing where we used to stand
projects getting torn down for some luxury brand
rent going up, pushing families to the outer bands
progress for who? sh~t, i need somebody to explain
flow switch ~ rapid fire now, can’t contain the pain
watching childhood disappear like it was never sane
every corner store memory getting washed away like rain
but i remember block parties, dominoes, and dice games
now it’s yoga studios where we used to break chains
same streets telling different stories, but the hurt remains
double meaning in my verses ’cause the truth’s insane
same streets…
same streets but they don’t feel like home no more
same streets but they don’t feel like home
same streets but they don’t feel like home no more
same streets, same streets
but they don’t feel like home
walking past the barbershop, ain’t the same face
used to know everybody in a two~block sp~ce
now i’m just a stranger in my old place
same streets…
ambition got me climbing but i’m losing ground
success tastes bitter when your roots ain’t around
made it out the hood but now i’m lost, not found
penthouse view but i miss that corner sound
jazz samples in my beats ’cause that’s my sacred ground
grandpa’s trumpet lessons echo when i’m breaking down
city raised me up just to tear my spirit down
same streets got me questioning if i’m still around
internal conflict got my head all f~cked up inside
chasing dreams while my community divide
sold my soul for recognition, now there’s nowhere to hide
same streets watching, judging how i switched my stride
money changes everything, what you can’t
got the block, if i’m the mission, frame my cup and take a say
same one, it does, it’s it out of all the secrets
yeah
same streets, this undeniable
take my sh~t!
oh, oh
