Different Now (Oddisee & Toine) |
She practically handed me the ass |
That I could care less because she lacked class |
The fitting of her dress would have had me at 21 |
Its funny son |
Just a few years older more revealings less appealing |
And I’m more into shoulders |
And other subtleties |
I’m in the house more thus I’m out less |
I’m less concerned with rocking fits that ain’t out yet |
I’m still about fresh |
But not my tennis shoes more about my fruit and veg |
I decorate my crib my homie’s couch less |
That ain’t the way I live |
At least lately the life of a bachelor seems crazy |
I went from cold pizza and old FIFA |
To seeing goals scored in person at low bleachers |
So lazy the youth in me I use to be |
I use to like a one night stand |
Now I’m all up in her house like there ain’t one nice lamp |
And I’m not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know? |
And I’m not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know? |
You see I use to be the backpack school type |
Headphones jacked up never on the new hype |
Trying to clean my act up |
Caught up on my own mind till the past stacked up |
Failing every class shit I knew I want to rap, but |
Never thought I could achieve who would I be |
Not seeing the thinkers make believers from the make believe |
So I had to break up out of this thing and go savage |
Trying to tilt the fucking earth off its whole axis |
20 years up in the game no practice |
So when I turn over or crash there’s no madness |
No tactics |
My hearts my instrumental so the ventricles just carry the sensible |
But I’m still cynical |
I cheat on revolutions with part time solution |
But division ain’t confusing I just keep it moving |
Not even seeing the illusions |
Cause everybody’s a pimp seducing the percentage from your units |
But your boy Toine never looses |
And I’m not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know? |
And I’m not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know? |
Longer days shorter nights |
Make a beat record it nice |
Order rice take away |
Curry out the way we say |
Me and Toine ain’t like to wait |
Hurry out the game already |
Sorta nice not enough |
Rap about your paper chase |
You gonna meet some niggas that just rap and keep their neighbors safe |
Not a bluff kind of tough |
DMV done bottled up |
I’m gonna make that bottle bust |
A lot of niggas carving up |
Our art enough odd enough |
I don’t need to make a place |
Smart enough new hustle |
Progress the new struggle |
Less about your skin color |
More about your ends color |
Whole worlds turning green and I don’t mean recycling |
That’s why I’m out early queens the dollar bills trifling |
Greek riots messing up the euro |
Mad at that |
Swedes voted right wing sad at that |
In fact damn cause they from a different world |
Welcome to a black mans |
Obama’s in the office now |
Look at how they reacting |
And I’m not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know? |
