Unlike the rest of the songs on Rx that focus on others, this track is personal and confessional. Although he has proclaimed to be in his best mental state in years, ROLE MODEL still has some struggles, and he talks about these things in “can you say the same.”
[Verse 1]
Still ain't got no friends out here
It's something 'bout the men out here
Something 'bout the hills
Make 'em think I want to chill
But I'm happy all alone down here
I ain't here to shake no hands right now
Bet you're thinkin' you're the man right now
You tell me I'm a bitch
You should see the one I kiss
Yeah, I'm happy where I stand right now
[Chorus]
Can you say the same?
Can you say the same?
Yeah, I might not have a lot
But I work with what I've got
Can you say the same?
[Verse 2]
I was talkin' to my friends last night
They told me so and so is dead that's life
They asked me when I'm comin' home
Started cryin' on the phone
Man, I wish that I could get that flight
I wanna buy 'em all a house out here
Don't want 'em sleepin' on my couch out here
You should see what I get paid
'Cause I'd give it all away
Just to have 'em all around out here
[Chorus]
Can you say the same?
Can you say the same?
Yeah, I might not have a lot
But I work with what I've got
Can you say the same?
[Verse 3]
Got a message from my ex last week
She said, "I wish you all the best," that's sweet
But look I finally fell in love
And forgotten who you was
So don't call me, I'm in bed half sleep
I know you probably told your friends I'm trash
I heard you comin' for my neck like that
But did you tell 'em who you fucked
Guess I wasn't quite enough
But I'd never disrespect like that
[Chorus]
Can you say the same?
Can you say the same?
Yeah, I might not have a lot
But I work with what I've got
Can you say the same?
