New Year, Same Shit" questions the concept of "new year new me". It asks the listener to reflect on the resolutions they've made, and hold themselves accountable. It emphasizes that life is temporary, and if you want to achieve your goals, then "you gotta give up what you're not". Recording this harmonic song in my closet and belting my heart out gave me pure joy.
lyrics
New year, same shit!
Let’s do this!
Resolutions ain’t shit without accountability.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
Tell me.
I’m Hector F. Castaneda of Dog Days Are Over,
Welcome to my world.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
Tell me.
If this life’s not special,
Then my breath is blasphemy.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
Tell me.
If this life’s not eternal,
Then my breath is most holy.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
Tell me.
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit.
You on that new year, same shit, same shit.
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo!
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit.
You on that new year, same shit, same shit.
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo!
I’m always being reborn, destiny
This isn’t tied to your 2023.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
They within.
I’m sometimes feeling unborn, unhappily
I let go and I breathe on my knees.
All those solutions for all your resolutions,
Where they at, where they at?
They within.
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit.
You on that new year, same shit, same shit.
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo!
You said new year new me,
But you still on that same shit.
You on that new year, same shit, same shit.
I’m rising wavelengths, droppin' hit after hit, yo!
If you tryna grow shit,
Then give it all you got.
If you’re gonna go big,
You gotta give up what you’re not.
Said if I’m tryna grow shit,
Then I’ll give it all I got.
If I’m gonna go big,
Then I’ll give up what I’m not.
This life’s a huge present,
So you better hold it close.
If you’re gonna transcend,
You gotta firework and explode.
This life’s one huge presence,
So I better hold it close.
If I’m gonna transcend,
I gotta firework and explode!
Where they at, where they at? (Oh my god.)
And explode! (Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at?)
Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at, where they at, yeah
Where they at, where they at?
