Old Ways Lyrics

I do not rap about dying

I rap about trying to live with the shit I've been given

Know that imma make a million

These niggas really trippin

I bring 'em to the building

These niggas want depression I want healing

These niggas can't handle pressure that I'm bringing

I challenge your whole concept of living

I'm a king I win battles

These niggas just average

And I know I got the talent

I'm gettin outta pocket man

I gotta go against my old ways

And get past all the mistakes I made

I gotta realize it was younger days

I graduated to a higher grade

I gotta find balance it's the libra in me

I take every challenge so personally

When I go into battle know I can compete

And I feel like a maverick I can stand the heat

And my name is Dré

So you know I make beats and they get me paid

Got the knockers like a big bra

Baby I'm a big dawg

Catch you in your palace

We can have a big brawl

But I don't have malice

I just gotta stand tall

I just cannot take a fall

I already took a loss

Gotta be a big boss

Cross tatted on my heart cause I carry all this pain

Yea I I know I had some faults

Yea I know I had to change

But some people did me wrong so it's not just me to blame

You don't feel small cuts until you see em

And few really have your back when you need em

And more gonna go the other way when you treat em

The way they treat you, but that's life gotta leave em

And it's a brand new day to be better carpe diem

I promise I won't turn my back when I see em

I gotta go against my old ways

And get past all the mistakes I made

I gotta realize it was younger days

I graduated to a higher grade

I gotta find balance it's the libra in me

I take every challenge so personally

When I go into battle know I can compete

And I feel like a maverick I can stand the heat

I can stand

I can stand

I can stand the heat

I can stand

I can stand

I can stand the heat

I can stand

I can stand

I can stand
