[Intro: Rittz]
Y-y-ye-uh-yeah...
Same shit, different day
Yeah

[Rittz]
Cell phone keep ringin off the hook, it's my homeboy Timmy
and he callin back-to-back I knew that something's wrong
I could tell that he was outta breath on the phone
and pissed off sayin "Dawg it's on"
Said he was all alone at Citgo off of Old North
Cross the street while when he started pumpin gas
Some punks we had some beef with then'll pass
Rolled up and they jumped his ass, his face busted bad
I hung up and called the crew up
Said I knew where these dudes live and we gotta do somethin
Muh'fuckers tryna prove somethin
Tryna have a dude jumped, four cars deep when we pulled up
They was outside ready to start ringin
and swingin brass knuckles and aluminum bats
We do it to task, cause one of them ended up in a hospital
He caught a knife, one in the back

[Chorus: Rittz]
But same shit different day
Same shit different day, same shit different day
Same shit different day
Same shit different day, on the northside of the A
Same shit different day
Same shit different day, same shit different day
Just somebody got robbed, somebody got sprayed
Somebody got paid, so what up homie, what'dya say?
The same shit different day

[Rittz]
A homeboy and his girl wanna grab a drink
No nightclub, they just went and hit the local bar
They've been datin for a month
They were just in a long-term relationship but broke it off
Lo and behold he saw his ex-girl in the same spot
Tryna go without bein seen, close no cigar
His ex-girl saw him started goin off
She threw her glass of Nuvo and'll call his girl a hoe and caused
a major conflict
Then his ex said "You fuckin with the wrong bitch"
She turned around then get a pool stick and hit her, she hit the ground quick
He was tryna break it up but then he got surrounded
Alcohol and blood stains on his outfit
I guess that he done had enough
He punched his ex in the face, knocked the bitch out cold
Next thing you know the cops took him out in cuffs

[Chorus]

[Rittz]
A dude turned his room into a studio
He said his destiny was to make it in rap
Dropped outta high school, never went to college
Sold drugs on the side, he was savin his cash
to try to fund himself, and everybody else that knew him
knew he had the hustle and the talent it took
to make it big one day, he was 'bout to come up
But several years of tryin to make it he got down on his luck
And got fucked signin contracts he never did read
Endin up owin his phony managers G's
Got busted sellin weed so he went to get a job
Makin nothin and his girl got fed up and fleed
I guess he, never achieved what he said he would be
and couldn't live with himself, he's depressin these weeks
So one night he took his own life, it's so trife
Wrote a suicide letter to me
The same shit different day, yeah...

[Chorus]

[Rittz]
Same shit different day, same shit different day
Same shit different day
Same shit different day, on the northside of the A
Same shit different day
Same shit different day, same shit different day
Just somebody got shot, they callin the cops
The neighborhood watch, it's not much, and hey what'dya say?
The same shit different day!
