SAMO - Imani Coppola

It was the Summer of '79

I met a boy in the scene on the Lower East Side

We scribbled words on the walls

Spraypainted the town

Hip Hop, Punk Rock.

bottoms upside down

The Bronx was burning and the city was turning in its grave

Beats were breaking, bombed D trains scraping through the tunnel to the fright

of day

It was the SAMO (same old)

It was the Autumn 2006

CBGBs closed the curtain final act Patti Smith

Towers collapsed, the compact disc was obsolete

Boredom is the birthplace of creativity

He stayed in his bedroom with his MacBook Pro

9/11's Great Recession dwarfed the planet Pluto

Stop and Frisk raised the risk for mainly Blacks and Latinos

It was the SAMO (same old)

It was the Summer 2019

He was a content creator who blew up on IG

Hash tag fame, internet celebrity

Made a million dollars mining crypto currency

And the world was trolling for American to become great again

Guns were polling, Kanye West was running for President

It was the SAMO (same old)
