[Intro] He said, “Hey bro, I ain't getting in a relationship like that again, That shit had me fucked up, controlling me back then. If I can't fish, if I can't hunt, if she runs my whole game, That hoe's gone, bro, I ain't doing that again.” I said, “Man, shut that shit up, I've heard that story before. You swear you're done with all the bullshit, Then walk right back through the same damn door.” [Verse 1] You got a new girl, version 2.0, New name in your phone, but the story ain't new though. Different face, same leash, same shit, same show, Three different women, same damn rodeo. You'd think your dumb ass would've learned by now, But apparently stupidity's your strongest trait somehow. So let me spell it out slow, maybe then it'll click: S-A-M-E-S-H-I-T Damn, boy, you really are thick. [Hook] Same shit, different name, Different face, but it's still the same game. “You can have your freedom,” then they tighten that chain, You swear you'll never do it, then you do it again. Same shit, different name, Changed the girl, but you stayed the same. Traded one headache for another damn headache, Then wonder why your whole damn life's a mistake. [Verse 2] Now this bitch got you moving in with her ex-man, Tell me, ain't that the exact shit she did back then? “Oh, you can have your time with your friends, that's fine...” “Just not this weekend... or the next ten... you're mine.” You picked up a girl twice as bad, Ten times more pissed when she don't get her way. Butt-hurt over nothing, whining all day, Laying in the bed while you're working away. You say, “Wanna catch a game?” She says, “No, you need to stay. Who's gonna cook? Who's gonna clean? You can't just leave me here all day.” So you stay your ass home, And your freedom starts to fade. Fishing poles collecting dust, Hunting gear sitting in the shade. You went from living your life To asking for permission. And somehow you convinced yourself That's a healthy-ass decision. [Hook] Same shit, different name, Different face, but it's still the same game. “You can have your freedom,” then they tighten that chain, You swear you'll never do it, then you do it again. Same shit, different name, Changed the girl, but you stayed the same. Traded one headache for another damn headache, Then wonder why your whole damn life's a mistake. [Verse 3] 20 years from now, when you're fifty and gray, You'll still be laying in that bed wasting every damn day. Honey Buns stacked up like bricks on the nightstand, And you'll still be saying, “I'm doing what I can, man.” Sitting in the same spot, Watching your whole life pass, Still telling everybody, “She just don't like being alone, that's all.” Bro, that's not love, That's a damn comfort zone. You gave up your freedom Just so she wouldn't be alone. Feeding that ego like, “Here, girl, have some more,” While your fishing poles collect dust And your hunting gear stays by the door. And every time somebody asks, “Man, when you gonna get out?” You shrug your shoulders and say, “Nah, bro... she'll get mad if I'm out.” [Bridge] You said you'd never be controlled. You said you'd never lose yourself. You said you'd never give up fishing, Never put your life on a shelf. But here you are again, Same story, different scene. New woman, new house, Same damn routine. [Final Hook] Same shit, different name, Different face, but it's still the same game. “You can have your freedom,” then they tighten that chain, You swear you'll never do it, then you do it again. Same shit, different name, New girl, new rules, but the ending's the same. You keep changing women, But you never change the game. [Outro] Then you'll say, “I ain't never doing this again.” But I've heard that line before, my friend. New girl. New house. New rules. Same cage. So quit lying to yourself saying, “This time it's different.” Because it ain't. Same shit. Different name.
