  • You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't

    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same
    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same

    I've been coming up for a while on ya radar
    I know I made it jus' by counting up my haters
    I got a speed boat get away like later
    You betta have a lotta cheddar if you don't got data
    Coz you can live it up, pull it up, start reeling
    Start throwing hands up like you're mad at the ceiling
    You could make a killin' but don't forget the feeling
    People stealin' money and down with double-dealin'

    You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't gimmie no mo'
    You won't

    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same
    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same

    You can take me courthouse
    You can take me jail
    You can take me anywhere
    But you can't get me there
    You can ask me where I'm going and I'll tell you crazy
    But when I get to where I'm going you should come with me

    You've be staying up, pull me up start reeling
    I'm throwing up my hands like I'm mad at the ceiling

    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same
    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same

    I got roof on my head
    I got food in my pot
    And the old ways are dead with the new ones we got
    There's water in my pot
    And I'm half and half not
    And the old kind is broke with the new kind we bought
    I drink alcohol
    Know the words to Wonderwall
    I rewrite the code
    While I do my time on road

    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same
    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same
    Tell me why
    Things change but it feels the same
    If life is such a game
    How come people all act the same Writer/s: MAYA ARUL, THOMAS WESLEY PENTZ
