Different day, same shit, same script, different plate
This the way of the world, and I’m just tryin’ ta fit in place.
Oddisee, “First Step,” from Diamond District’s March on Washington, 2014
Different day, same shit, same script, different plate
This the way of the world, and I’m just tryin’ ta fit in place.
Science only answers ‘How?’
Religion only answers ‘Why?’
The two combined is the true design,
So respect to God cause He drew the lines.
Murder isn’t a crime when you just killing time.
I never asked to be born, and death’s no question.
The sun’s still shining off the same old lessons,
Then why does life feel like an educated guess?
And my thoughts are like meals…I’m a sucker for the seconds.
My old soul remains forever young…
I’ve done it all, and still I’m doing shit that I ain’t ever done.
See, it depends on your definition of winning;
I ain’t started from the bottom, I started from the beginning.
