OLD WAYS Lyrics

Them my old ways

Them my old ways

You only know the old me

Them my old ways

Them my old ways

Growing up the youngest of three

But I only got know two

Felt something missing cause I had a brother

That ain't get to see me grow

Walking the city streets as a kid

Some shit you don't do on your own

Life is uncertain, if I stayed in Detroit

I can be in jail or gone

Closed casket

Still breaking my that uncle ain't get to come home

Gone too soon

Would give you call but know you can't pick up the phone

I've done some wrong in my life

I got regrets I can't take back

Know some feelings I done stepped on

Them my old ways so I detached

Let my guard down when I rap

Showing the real me

Know I'm never gone switch

When they try to stab me in the back

Crazy you thought I would lack

Why you throw dirt on my name

Can't lie I want money and fame

Big heart but done lend it out too many times

That I can't treat you the same

Can you see the pain in my eyes

But you only care what I did to you

Couldn't care less bout the heart that I'm feeling

But you still want me to care for you

Back on the ropes and I feel them

Not the old me had to kill him

Allow me to tell you I'm sorry

The person I was, I hate that you met him

Whole family struggling I put the weight on my back

So I know I can't let up

I know when I win all this shit gone get better

Stop leaving my life you my national treasure

Down on my knees ain't using no stretcher

Praying to God while keeping my head up

But day after day I feel worse and then better

Tears fall on this paper while writing this letter

God lend me a hand

The man that I see in the mirror, don't recognize

Hard for my mental to find an escape

Until I look in daughter eyes

Taught myself to throw all those feelings away

They eat me alive like pesticides

The worst pain for a son to feel is seeing his

Daughter and Momma cry

Somebody give me a call and tell me you love me

When it feel like you losing the people you love it can get lonely

I'm not the person from summer 16

You only know about the old me

Heart so froze, a bucket of ice

Inside of my body is snowing

Growing up the youngest of three

But I only got know two

Felt something missing cause I had a brother

That ain't get to see me grow

Walking the city streets as a kid

Some shit you don't do on your own

Life is uncertain, if I stayed in Detroit

I can be in jail or gone

Closed casket

Still breaking my that uncle ain't get to come home

Gone too soon

Would give you call but know you can't pick up the phone

I've done some wrong in my life

I got regrets I can't take back

Know some feelings I done stepped on

Them my old ways so I detached

All the love that I have, I give it family and friends

Claiming that you know the person I am

Well you gotta meet me again

Gotta save some for myself

Loving yourself is health

And if nobody tell you they love, I love you

Allow my voice to be your help

So sick of tired of running and hiding

It's time to push all that bullshit behind me

I'm struggling to find real people that won't Lie to Me

Hope that you proud of me

Probably find it in your heart

Search for a purpose you looking for property

I'm working hard so daughter don't experience poverty

Whole family struggling I put the weight on my back

So I know I can't let up

I know when I win all this shit gone get better

Stop leaving my life you my national treasure

Down on my knees ain't using no stretcher

Praying to God while keeping my head up

But day after day I feel worse and then better

Tears fall on this paper while writing this letter

Them my old ways

Them my old ways
