Stuck in My Ways Lyrics

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze

Complacency will your dreams before a hater gets a chance

Aimlessly is how you wander, when you're stuck up in a trance

Ashamedly I know it's true, cause once I too had worn those pants

We're just trying to make this money, now we're back from circumstance

Yeah we're back, no more stripes up on our back

But that collar's still attached, our livelihood under attack

What's up with that?

I'm dishonest cause I'm black?

That mentality's a trap

I'm just trying to bridge the gap

Between the worlds we live in, why can't we just coexist

They kill and cage our children, so that's why we raise our fist

They play us like some villains, waiting for the slightest twitch

Just take your phone, film it, and then exercise your fifth

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze

Burn me in the fire and watch me rise just like a Phoenix

I know you're getting tired, but your life it still has meaning

I'm not Richard Pryor, hope this satire got you feeling

That you can fly higher, you're the one you sets the ceiling

Break out your ways and cut your ties to the past

Your mind made the chains, so just go and make them glass

Push through the pain, and I promise you'll surpass

Every single thing that you thought would hold you back

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze

I'm just stuck in my ways

Fighting for a brighter day

Get myself up out the shade

Know I'm going to make a change

I'm just stuck in my ways

Catch me walking through the flames

Heart, Mind and Soul ablaze

I can see through the haze
