And I'm not sure why, but um things seem different now, you know?
[Verse One] [Oddisee]: She practically handed me the ass That I could care less because she lacked class The fitting of her dress would of 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 vegs I decorate my crib my homie's couchless 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
[Hook]: 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?
[Verse Two] [Toine]: 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 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
[Hook]: 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?
[Verse Three] [Oddisee]: 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 the way 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 Sweeds 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?
