Reasons For Seasons

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Terrace Martin] It's big TM, leanin' off the Seagrams Eyes bloodshot, look at 'em and you'll see him Now who he's become but his mother's son? The same one who avoided guns and picked up the drums Had you marchin' to a different beat, stood you on your feet I looked out, helped you off the streets I gave you advice to heed, a new life to lead In return, you took my kindness for weak When I was at my lowest, truest colors started showin' Niggas I called friends wasn't answerin' they phone then Huh, that's when Quik words rang true Be careful who you hand your celebrity to, uh Didn't get it 'til that very instance Since then, between me and them, I put a little distance Niggas so lame for sayin', "Bro, it's a shame" Disloyal like a ho, sold your soul for this game and you still broke, nigga [Chorus: Neka Brown] Sometimes, people go as quick as they come They say that there's nothing new under the sun 'Cause time reveals all our reasons Things change in life just like seasons [Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar] Little Kendrick from the Hub Can show you that my motives always been to give you love I'm puttin' out good music in return to build a buzz That's bigger than life itself or some Bubble Kush plug Won't you look in the mirror? You see a pair of eyes that's quite similar to mines And if you do, that shit should scare ya Baby brother of Compton, tryna accomplish The impossible, with obstacles at my daily grindin' Oh no, here come the critics, but not from the magazines, I mean The blocks that were so-called mad at me, they're mean 'Cause soon as success is in my favor They'll try to break down my character like I ain't from their heritage Quite frankly It'd hurt my soul to hear a nigga that I know talkin' bad and tryna play me Like we ain't had pellet gunfights, fallin' off of minibikes In the Buick, bumpin' Clipse with no AC Why would you shame me? [Chorus: Neka Brown] Sometimes, people go as quick as they come They say that there's nothing new under the sun 'Cause time reveals all our reasons Things change in life just like seasons [Interlude: Terrace Martin] Yeah, mm So I was drivin' home last night on the 101 freeway and I look up And it's a sign that says, "Love your friends and love your family" And I thought to myself, why do we use these words so loose? Love, friends, and family I mean if love is involved, why do friends and family hurt us, and why do we hurt them? It's kinda like we all forgot the true definition of love to begin with, tuh The one thing I do know, I nor you can be accountable what somebody else does to us We can only be accountable for what we do to them So instead of sayin', "That's my friend," "That's my family," and, "It's love," huh I'ma say this to y'all [Outro: Neka Brown & Terrace Martin] So many words we say in vain What are we really sayin'? People never change Truth won't be the same
