SAME FACTS NEW FRAME

Intro

(yeah!) (uh huh!) (come on!) (DP in the house!) (let's ride!)

Hook

People don't pivot from the data (same facts!)

they pivot from the picture (new frame!)

same facts on the table (yeah!)

same facts on the table (come on!)

same facts on the table (uh huh!)

just a different narrator (let's ride!)

Verse 1

Same newspaper folded on the diner bar top (what else?)

greasy thumbprint where the budget numbers drop (let's go!)

Same old-timer with a quarter, scratchin' hopin' they pop

scrapin' down the silver till the lucky layer stop

Same numbers in the notepad, same blunder from the mayor (same note!)

one covers up the comeback, one uncovers the decay (uh!)

Same road through the valley, same cracks in the concrete (yeah!)

same train, same window — same town on repeat

depends who's lookin' through it if it's progress or erosion

Hook

People don't pivot from the data (same facts!)

they pivot from the picture (new frame!)

same facts on the table (yeah!)

same facts on the table (come on!)

same facts on the table (uh huh!)

just a different narrator (let's ride!)

Verse 2

Same game on the television, same call from the ref (hold up!)

half the bar yell robbery, half just sip and turn they head

Same clip on the timeline, same quote from the speaker (same quote!)

press box call it wisdom, nosebleeds call it theater

Same block on a Saturday, same kids by the liquor store (uh huh!)

same "how you holdin'?" — "man, I'm gettin' by" — like the week before

A vandal with a spray can or a muralist commissioned (come on!)

same paint on the same wall — the difference is permission

You ain't movin' what they see by stackin' folders to the ceilin'

you change the whole direction when you change the way they're feelin'

Break

(same facts!) (new frame!) (same facts!) (new frame!) (talk to 'em!)

Verse 3

That same liquor store look different on the evenin' news (yeah!)

same door, same boulevard — caption tell you what to do

Same charts in the folder, same bars on the graph (same stack!)

one reporter print "collapse," one investor see a path

Somebody smell the danger, somebody smell the chance (uh huh!)

same floor underneath 'em, watch 'em hit a different dance

That kid by the corner never read your statistics (look!)

he could tell you what got broken — he was standin' in it

That's why every movement, every product, every nation (talk that talk!)

got a narrator in the driver's seat before the explanation

so keep your facts on the table — I walked off with the frame (own it!)

Final Hook

People don't pivot from the data (same facts!)

they pivot from the picture (new frame!)

same facts on the table (yeah!)

same facts on the table (come on!)

same facts on the table (uh huh!)

just a different narrator

same facts (new frame!)

same facts (new frame!)

same facts (new frame!)

just a different narrator

(yeah!) (DP!) (keep it movin'!)
