It's still the Same Thing ain't nothin' changed, me & my dogs tryin' to have things
Flippin' our cheddar tryin' to maintain, don't wanna go to jail but tryin' to hit stangs
I'm a G sittin' back peepin' game on the block where the n***as might get ya mayne
.44 slugs might hit your frame 'cause these n***as still wanna go against the grain
Steady tryin' to ball, just not knowin' they about to fall
Want the love but they hate 'em all, wantin' God but they ain't made the call
n***as thinkin' they just too cool, 15 years old dropped out of school
Tryin' to cap about what they do, drama come they better get that tool
They know d**h sittin' round the corner, Lord knows they ain't ready for the reaper to come callin'
They life fallin' ahead of time & ain't tryin' to stall him
This right here is all that I see, T R A E is all that I be
Same Thing Different Day, gotta live your life by any means.

It's the Same Thing Different Day
n***as know what I mean dog
It's the Same Thing Different Day
Same Thing Different Day dog.

Collect call from the county jail, Kick Dog caught up tryin' to make the mail
3rd strike & ain't got no bail, inside it hurt like hell
Everyday this how the world turn, in the heat but don't wanna get burned
22-Agg' might make him learn, he goin' through it for a hell of a term
Baby mama ain't make it no better, she know that you gone & she searchin' for cheddar
You losin' your mind & it's really whatever, all the pain is your permanent weather
Back put up against the wall, pride ain't gon' let him give up at all
Built up pressure 'about to let go, so his outlook on life is f** 'em all
My advice is to slow it down, ain't no type of kin folk comin' round
That sh** ain't right you & I both know, your dog gon' be the one to hold it down
And that's life whether real or fake, reality is what you can't shake
It be the Same Thing everyday, the weight of the world might make you break.

A new day but the same drama, everybody still wanna prove theyself
Let me tell it to you damn fool, headed off to go lose theyself
He got beef wit you know who, hot headed for the hood near you
Lettin' everybody pump up his brain, loadin' up to see what you do
Dog you don't wanna go out like that, slugs'll get you where you can't fight back
It don't take much for you to know that, 6 shots & everybody gon' scat.
Where your dogs? Where your friends? You back alone once again
If it's meant to be you won't walk again, f**in' with them same ol' n***as again
I ain't goin' but I'm tryin' to show ya, everyday life is about to fold ya
Don't get caught up tryin' to be a soldier, you'll wind up dead when nobody know ya
That's the truth & it's simple & plain, don't let the devil get up in ya mayne
He'll have it when you gon' lose your brain in different ways but it's all the same.

Same Thing Different Day, time roll by. You know what I'm sayin'?
sh** still don't change, it's always the same
Everyday reality, gotta take it for what it is. You know what I'm sayin'?
Don't whine about this sh**. Just be smart about it.
Don't be no fool, get caught up in the hype.
Street life. You know what I'm sayin'? That ain't sh** to brag about.
Some people just stuck with that sh**.
My advice is get your grind on, do your thing.
Do it on the low. You feel what I'm sayin'?
Don't get caught up f**in' with these fake muthaf**ers.
Or your so-called friends, so-called girl.
All that sh** don't mean nothin'. You know what I'm sayin'? Keep God first.
