You Always Get What You Always Got

DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS BOUND TO FAIL

YOU’RE A PUPPY DOG CHASING THE SAME OL’ TAIL

THE FACE IS DIFFERENT BUT THE HEART REMAINS

THE SAME OL’ LOVER WITH A BRAND NEW NAME

YOU’RE BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS SON

WHEN YOU GONNA LEARN THAT THE FIRE IS HOT

IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS DONE

YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU ALWAYS GOT

YOU’RE ROBBIN' THE HOUSE THINKIN YOU WON’T GET CAUGHT

EVERYTIME YOU LOSE YOU SAY IT AINT YOUR FAULT

YOU KEEP ON DOIN WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOIN AGAIN

THINKIN WHAT YOU DID’LL HAVE A DIFFERENT END

LIFE IS A LESSON AND THE LESSON I’VE LEARN

IS THE CHOICE YOU MAKE IS GONNA BE LONG TERM

IF THERE’S ANYTHING BROTHER THAT I CAN SAY

IS THAT YOU’LL PAY TOMORROW FOR WHAT YOU DO TODAY
