Another Way by E-Nyce Lyrics
[Hook]
My life my joy my pain
My pride my choice my gain
Some things can’t stay the same
So I need another way
My brother my sister my fam
My son my daughter my plan
Some things can’t stay the same
So I need another way
I need a another way, another way
Another way another way
[Verse 1]
You see I can’t be a 9 to fiver
Its 24/7, I’d rather take a risk and be a 25 to lifer
Nowadays I can’t afford to pay the pied piper
The bill of rights are written in a code I can’t decipher
Uncle Sam’s been a liar, we ain’t related
He got a head start we both are put in different races
It's black or white and its dirty brother
They make it hard to stay clean if you were born colored
Do the math they subtracted certain people from us
The numbers doubled if you calculate our single mothers
Hypocrites are throwin rocks at all the glass homes
What you expect when your poppa was a rollin' stone
The games altered with a lot of clones
One mic is all I need to keep up with the jones
I’m still matic as I watch the throne
I just need to get in my zone
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Corporate America's a system
The darker the you are, no matter how hard you work, the more you are a victim
You think of quittin' but can’t cuz you gotta eat
And back at home you know you got another mouth to feed
Or a spouse to please, or a house to keep
Or saving up because you tryna make it out the streets, sheesh
You need to find another way
Because you didn’t go to school for all them years to live it day to day
Here’s a penny for ya thoughts cuz the world is senseless
When your start making change there’s no time to spend it
You put in all your effort hopin' they promote you
You put your offer on the table but they don’t approach you
So if that man brings a little, you bring plenty
If that man brings 10, you bring 20
It ain’t fair but the race is run everyday
I’m sick of runnin', I needa find another way
[Hook]
My life my joy my pain
My pride my choice my gain
Some things can’t stay the same
So I need another way
My brother my sister my fam
My son my daughter my plan
Some things can’t stay the same
So I need another way
I need a another way, another way
Another way another way
[Verse 1]
