Burning A New Leaf Lyrics

The tides are turning, I'm tired of hating

That's why I forgave them

But I can't change them, and I can't save them

Time that I made for them was time that I wasted

I'm burning a new leaf, that shady shit you've been doing doesn't concern me

I'm laughing at the pain, takes a lot more to hurt me

They're taking shots at us, I'm not the slightest bit worried

I just sit back and light up

I promise you don't wanna fight us

Or maybe ya do, shit, you were never the brightest

Either way, I got bigger fish to fry up than you and I'm tired of ungrateful people playing the victim when they're lying

You're lucky I'm nice, I should've popped all four of your tires

Crack you in your knees, then send you flowers

Help you get on your feet, then do it again

To make you understand this isn't for the weak-minded

Who do shit for the wrong reasons

Sometimes you gotta fight for the shit you believe in

I'm willing to die for this if I say that I really mean it

The goal has always been about the legacy, I gotta make you feel it when I exit

And maybe to a fault some situations I neglected

I know I took some people for granted and that's something I still have trouble accepting

Some I could call but probably wouldn't answer, others I won't see until my story sees an ending

One relationship left open-ended

Closure came late, but shit, it's better late than never

And they say the longer you wait, the better it is, well I beg to differ

Cause I waited a long time, and I'm just old and bitter

And even if I make it now, that comment section's just gon' tear me up like Jack the Ripper

Fuck 'em and fuck their mothers too

I know I said I'm done hatin', it's not hate, It's just the honest truth

But I don't have to explain myself or my views

If you don't like it, hit the booth, fuck outta here, I don't know what to tell ya

They all have an opinion on shit they never did

I've been runnin' this like a business since I was a jit

I just made a few decisions that cost me some dollars, but saved me from them

And save me from myself

Maybe I should've just settled down, sometimes I wish I did

Sometimes I wish I didn't think like this, cause I can't help but see the world for what it really is

Despite how hard they try to keep us in the dark, hiding how they really live

But I know how they really live

Oath takin', like the old time of guineas did

But they're not like us, they on some low-life demon shit

I think the tides are turnin', I'm tired of hatin

That's why I forgave em', but I can't change em

And I can't save em', time that I made for them is time that I wasted

I'm burnin' a new leaf

That shady shit you been doin' doesn't concern me

I'm laughin' at the pain, takes a lot more to hurt me

They takin' shots at us, I'm not the slightest bit worried
