Yeah…
Same sidewalk… same cracked pavement…
Two kids on the same porch dreamin’ different dreams
Mama yellin’ from the kitchen
Bills stackin’ on the table
We was starin’ out that window
Tryna figure what we able
You was talkin’ ‘bout degrees
I was talkin’ ‘bout survive
Both lookin’ at the same sky
Just with different reasons why
We made a promise on them steps
Said we’d never let it break
One of us gon’ find a future…
Other one just tryna escape
[Verse 1]
Same backpack
Same bus stop
Shared one plate
We split all that
Two mouths hungry
One dream, one plan
You chased grades
I chased quick bands
You packed books
I packed a scale
You took tests
I took those Ls
We laughed it off
Said, "We’ll both eat"
You learned charts
I learned the streets
[Chorus]
Two roads from the same front door
Same pain, but we fightin' our wars
You got campus, I got corners and heat
Different paths, but we both on our feet
We both starvin', just usin' what we got
You took class, I took chances on the block
Ain’t the same, but we still gotta eat
Different roads, same roots, different seats (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your mom cryin'
Mine quiet, proud
You post dorm pics
I post with the crowd
You got late nights
Readin' ‘bout law
I got late nights
Watchin' my draw
You call, say
"Bro, you good?"
I lie, "Yeah"
Wishin' I could
Grimace in my grin
Scars in my laugh
You wear tassels
I wear this mask
[Chorus]
Two roads from the same front door
Same pain, but we fightin' our wars
You got campus, I got corners and heat
Different paths, but we both on our feet
We both starvin', just usin' what we got
You took class, I took chances on the block
Ain’t the same, but we still gotta eat
Different roads, same roots, different seats (yeah)
[Bridge]
If I flip out, you flip the page
You count credits, I count days
But when I win, you still say "we"
'Cause your cap and my scars
Came from the same street
[Chorus]
Two roads from the same front door
Same pain, but we fightin' our wars
You got campus, I got corners and heat
Different paths, but we both on our feet
We both starvin', just usin' what we got
You took class, I took chances on the block
Ain’t the same, but we still gotta eat
Different roads, same roots, different seats
