Old Ties

[Verse 1]

Yeah

6am in the morning that's when the pen hits the pad

Thinking back to all the parties & the hoes that we had

We were closer back then but now we don't even speak

Fuck it, i don't wanna shift the blame & put it on you

I've been overly focused on the music so i'm writing this to you

Send my love to your momma, hope she pray for me still

Late nights, eating out & then she'd cover the bill

And now it breaks my heart to see her so intoxicated

Remеmber when we stayed up and debated bout this rap shit

I had to make it happen for myself, you was standing with your hand-out

Hoping that somebody would give you a chance, but this game ain't fair

Man nobody owes you shit, you gotta work for this shit

And i feel like that's the reason why we went on separate paths

That's real


[Verse 2]

Yeah

Man this life is a blessing and like any other blessing man it comes it with curse

Know some niggas from the projects that be snatching up purses

I had to cut ties, i couldn't be associated with,such guys

I ain't even buggin, these days i'm only around women that got shit to lose

Not because I'm full of myself, nah i just studied the game and i can't be caught slippin again


[Verse 3]

Yeah

Someday, you gon' have to sit back & reflect on your life

All the people you've crossed & all the people you've lost

All the pain that you caused & all the bridges you burnt

All the money you've earned & All the people you've gained

All the lanes that you've paved & all the ways that you went

All the hearts you've ever broken, everything you've ever stolen

Right now every verse just solidifies my spot in this game

Please do not compare to these rappers, we ain't build the same

I heard so & so been paying for their streams & i just laugh about it

Talking ain't enough, you gotta be about it

I been locked in for days just workin' on the EP

I'm working like there's 10 in me

If you've ever felt like i ain't made for this you better keep that energy

Niggas let me down guess they never saw that synergy

That's the price you gotta pay for being the one

When i started having fun with it i made a couple enemies, same niggas befriending me

Damn

Took a little break but now i'm back so you niggas know what time it is

Back To Back winning like I'm Spencer James

Workin' overtime like i was Bruce Wayne

Niggas front so often you would think this shit was Hollywood

The game is just an optical illusion meant to fool you into thinking that you winning

Meanwhile you at the bottom of the chain

You might see me happy but I'm going through some shit, tryna deal with all this pain

Everytime I'm out in Durban, i feel a certain way because i know how shit could have been, would have been

Lost my faith in God and so i'm venting on these beats again

Ol' girl from the past telling me that she love me, same person that was creepin' with my homie

I act like i ain't know it

Came across a quote;

"Sometimes you gotta act a fool just to fool the person that be thinking that they fooling you"

Hate to break it to you but he can't do what i do to you

It seem like you be fetching all these niggas that remind you of me, the irony

It was s'posed to be a fling now you caught in the deep

With these feelings that don't wanna disperse; It could have been worse

I'm mentally in paradise, physically in hell

Point me to the wishing well, all you niggas hate me for no reason

Man i wish you well


[Outro]
