Lyrics Things Ain't Changed - L.A. Salami

Things Ain't Changed

In the context of knowing the winds
And the vortex of growing pains
The games seem larger
The more knowledge you obtain
That changes the stage
Not the crude rounds of the actor’s brain
Things ain’t changed
The plays' the same
And you just have to play your part
And if life’s the aim
In a decent way
Indecent in all its ways it starts
It isn’t age
It’s neglection
When intersectionality turns to rage
The infection which seems to consolidate every age
Like rereading the same page
About a different complexion
And how position rules the day
And how separation ain’t the way
But bonding takes a lot of affection
Things ain’t changed
Except which master reigns
And the master has you play your part
It’s all the same
When you strip away
The progress that dictates where you start
Through the subsequent notions
Of what it really means to turn a page
Without gauging the sincerity of your disdain
In a different way
The status is obtained
But to be alive is playing the game
The players change
But the rules remain
So maybe you should play your part
My will’s my bane
From which I could ascertain
That maybe I should make up a start
Things ain’t changed
Except which master reigns
And the master will have you play your part
To the lives we aim
In a decent way
But indecently in all its ways it starts
