Old Church Shoes Lyrics

You're a doctor in the sick room

You've been the lawyer in the court room

I know I can lean on you

You put food on my table

I know that you're able

I know I can lean on you

This beat sound like old church shoes with the creases in it

It ain't Ade if I don't put a lil Jesus in it

Remember 09 no snap backs just fitteds

A young prodigy at the guitar they called me gifted

Before I knew how to roll a J and get lifted

Before I knew how to spit my mac and show interest

Before I even thought about life like what is it?

Let me take y'all to the beginning

My parents got married in '86

And birthed three little babies since

I'm the youngest one the golden child that's why I'm Prince

And ima party like it's 1999

March 5th that was entrance

My mother said it was the coldest day of the year

No wonder I'm cold blooded and always keep it cool I show no fear

Always down teach you something if you open up your ears

So listen and do it carefully

I coulda been a villain if it wasn't for the village

Showed signs of aggression

Lil too much persistence

Yes I was a nuisance

Popular class clown

But you would never know that if pops was around

Hit the brakes quick like if cops was around

No sign of emotion like if opps was around

But when he gone

Aww yea boy it's on

And on and on

Like that Erykah Badu song

Dre remember when we got in school suspension

7th grade we had a sub for like five days

She had a list full of notes about our bad ways

And I'm the one who had the plan to make a bad play

Dre distract her for a minute make sure she ain't lookin

I'm a grab the list of notes and ima get to bookin

Runnin rip that note into a million pieces

And when my pops found out I got a million beatings

Damn

But that ain't stop my bad ways

I was a problem child lookin back on old days

And my charisma was just way too contagious

And with that mix ya boy was just way too dangerous

But it really it take a village

I looked like a hero but I was a villain

Now I look like the villain and I'm tryna be a hero

Gotta work my way from ground zero

The New Beginning

You're a doctor in the sick room

You've been the lawyer in the court room

I know I can lean on you

You put food on my table

I know that you're able

I know I can lean on you
