Old dog, new trick

You can't teach an old dog a new trick
Whoever said that's just reticent
Of coming back changed
Of dancing in the storm getting washed new by the rain
I've been up and down
I've been all around from the sky to the ground
Like a coaster dip
Spoke with a king and a street kid
Man, they're just the same 'cept the game's rigged
I've seen old love outta new eyes
I've seen a baby born and a man die
You can't put a coin on experience
Like you can't know yourself without seeing myriad
I saw her fine form shine silhouette
Time turned pirouette
It's the same scene, back flip, like I said
Old dog, new trick

I roll outta bed for the new day
Put my boots on step to the parade
Stroll into the carnival and through the graves
The ghosts rise, tell me what they say?
'Don't let nobody tell you that it's otherwise
While you walk with the living, be alive
You stumble then you fall into the real trip, trip, trip'
Old dog, new trick

It's high price to be different
But like a fine wine, magnificent
As the cold night melts into sunrise
Empire reset, second wind, re-fire
We're coming home with the magic
They can blow their whistle, but we won't sit
Up next won't be explained gotta witness it
Here we go! Old dogs, new tricks
