[Intro – spoken, relaxed]
Yeah
Easy now
Morning light on concrete
Let the rhythm breathe
[Bridge]
[Verse 1]
I wake up with traffic humming through the walls
Coffee cooling while the radio drifts in and out
People downstairs arguing about nothing important
Someone laughs too loud and someone else looks tired
The city moves whether you agree with it or not
Every face carries a story it doesn’t explain
I walk slow so the day doesn’t rush me
My thoughts stay heavy but my steps stay light
[Chorus – mellow, repeated groove]
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
Mind stay calm while the world finds a way
I keep my head cool when the noise won’t fade
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
[Verse 2]
Old men play cards by the corner store
They don’t talk much but they see everything
A kid on a bike rides too close to the street
Sirens pass without choosing a side
Money gets counted and disappears again
Promises sound thin when the wind carries them
I don’t chase trouble and I don’t chase shine
I just listen close to the rhythm inside
⸻
[Chorus]
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
Mind stay calm while the world finds a way
I keep my head cool when the noise won’t fade
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
⸻
[Verse 3]
Night comes early in certain neighborhoods
Lights flicker like they’re unsure of themselves
Someone upstairs argues with their own past
Someone else prays without using words
I think about choices that never came back
I think about peace like it’s something learned
Breathing slow while the bassline rolls
Letting go without losing my ground
[Bridge – half-spoken, dub style]
No rush
No panic
Just sound and space
Let it ride
[Verse 4]
I’ve seen days break people into pieces
I’ve seen patience turn pressure into nothing
The streets talk loud but they don’t tell you how
To keep your balance when the floor feels thin
I stay aware but I don’t stay tense
There’s more to life than defense
The music steadies what the world bends
And I walk on
⸻
[Chorus – fade, stacked harmonies]
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
Mind stay calm while the world finds a way
I keep my head cool when the noise won’t fade
Same place, same sun, different feeling today
