Lyrics
Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Advice to keep a low profile and stay calm
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
Unintentional killing without any gain or result
When the judge's constipation go to his head
Referring to a judge facing mental stress
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
Mention of the judge's wife's frustration leading to danger
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
Expressing a recurring narrative of troubles
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
Reiterating the theme of facing familiar challenges
Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
Being caught with drugs and a weapon
No smoothy face lawyer to getcha undone
No capable lawyer to help in legal matters
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
Claiming love is different in a specific area
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
Suggesting a futile search for love in that location
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
Repeating the idea of facing a common narrative
It's the same old story, same old story
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of the story
Same old song and dance
Reiterating the familiar nature of the situation
Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Symbolizing destiny's arrival and resistance
Your old time connection, change your direction
Changes happening due to past associations
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Emphasizing inability to alter the course of events
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend
Expressing the pain of a repetitive experience
When you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
Describing a difficult and morally questionable situation
With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
Having no one to interact with in a challenging circumstance
Say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
Stating that love is different in a specific area
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
Reiterating the futility of finding love in that location
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
Repeating the theme of facing a common narrative
It's the same old story, same old story
Emphasizing the repetitiveness of the story
Same old song and dance, yeah
Concluding with a confirmation of the recurring nature
