Circles Lyrics

How can we break free

If we're not choosin' growth over safety?

And how can we make some change

If we keep falling for the same things?

I met a girl, she was pursuing a degree

She's from the hood

The first one from her family tree

To get that type of support

To take that opportunity

Young queen, all smiles

Exuding positivity...

But inside? Turmoil

Generational trauma

That's never been addressed

Yo she looks just like her momma

She managed stress just like her pops

'Til one night neighbors called the cops

The yelling started with her baby daddy

And it wouldn't stop

It was a minor issue

But twelve found a schedule 1

It was her education that she was tryna fund

She sent her scholarships to momma cuz she told her times was tough

Her family needed more groceries - engine lights on, daddy's truck

And all I see is circles

Caught up in these cycles

Spend a lifetime tryna save

Now it's nothin left to pay

All I see is circles

Caught up in these cycles

Wifey said we need to talk

(I hit Command-S) guess we chattin' now

Got damn, breathe baby

Just wish you'd sit your fine ass down

Arguing last night

She must wanna go another round

But today is feeling different

I kinda like the way it's going down!

We reminiscing

We sharing stories laughing, kissing

Smells like brunch off in the kitchen

Spilling mimosas on the patio, we sippin'!

Decade plus - how we livin'?

Think back 07 ya i guess you helped me get my swag up

But beyond that babe you helped a young brother man up

Now who goin' tell you that?

I put up a front like I'm not insecure

We met when we was babies

But I still called you my little "baby girl"

Now we've got a baby girl, boy too

Crazy world

Sacrifices that we made

Worked hard, debts are paid

You are my pajarita

Inside my heart, where I keep ya

Te llevo adentro hasta la raíz del país - nenaaaaa!

And all I see is circles

Caught up in these cylces

All I see is circles

Caught up in these cycles
