Abel is telling her that she’s no different than she was before he was famous and has simply came back to share the spotlight. He also appears to be retelling the story of a girl only wanting a guy for his fame, a story that is recurring in the music industry, hence the title, “Same Old Song.” She’s the same as all the other girls that said he wouldn’t make it and as soon as he did, they tried to come back in his life. The reason he made a song directly to her, is because he had strong feelings for her back before he was famous when she was telling him he wouldn’t make it.

Earl misses Samoa - he said it helped him in an interview. Here he is saying that all off his bad habits from his youth are now gone thanks to Samoa.

Earl could also be looking to the future, deciding now that he’s back from Samoa and OF is blowing up, it’s time to be an adult and really put his best effort forth to make money in the rap game. Not that he wasn’t before, but he was only 15/16 and didn’t know what having some cash feels like (you have to assume Tyler caked off some racks for Sweat).

Each part of this line has two opposite meanings.

First: Earl sacrificed having a normal childhood when he started rapping, then he was “after (physical) paradise”, he was seeking sensory pleasures and material success. Here paradise also refers literally to the “paradise” he actually did achieve by giving up his youth.

Second: He threw off the carefree pleasures of youth after having an awakening in Samoa, an opposite (spiritual) paradise. In this meaning, paradise also has two meanings, meaning literally after Samoa and the true paradise he’s now “after”.

Confusing but this may be the deepest, if not the first, multilayered quadruple entendre the world has ever seen.

Also, this could be a play on the biblical Fall from Paradise. If you look at it from that point of view, Earl is saying that unlike Adam and Eve, he left paradise on his own without God kicking him out. A more likely explanation however, is that Earl is referring to the other biblical Fall from Paradise, which makes more sense when you think about some of his other lyrics and OF in general.

People think his ego is “bloated”, but he proves them wrong when he goes in on a track.

“Deluxe” could also be in reference to the San Fransisco skate company Deluxe Distribution, which distributes five major skateboard brands. This segues into the next line which refers back to skate culture (vans- off the wall loafers)

A morgue is where bodies that are victims of violence are kept and that’s where this rap shit goes when Earl is on.

He’s also referencing Hip Hop is Dead by Nas and the idea surrounding it. A lot of new school rappers took offense to that song/idea, and as one of those young dudes he’s saying that he doesn’t care what old heads are saying. Like OF has said several times, they’re taking it hip-hop in their own direction, and those guys can adapt or die.
