On that 'Star:
Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
Put you on a yacht, but they won't call it a slave ship
Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this
Screaming "brand new", when they just sanitized the old sh*t

Pretty wild Shohei Ohtani pitched six innings, struck out five and gave up just a run in a win as a pitcher and then went out and hit two home runs the very next night.
