A New Me

[Verse One]:
This is Kam Moye the pop, the father and the author
I parted from the party so pardon my departure
Part of me is partially a martian of wealth
The other side of me just made it harder on myself
Cause the cards I was dealt was like a folded poker hand
It's hard for you to tell, but it stung like an open hand
Smack to the jaw, courtesy of Iceberg
Had to use the pimp analogy to find the right words
But now Heaven and the sky's the limit
My name rise like there's helium and hydrogen in it
I learn lessons like a Five Percenter
Never stick your hands out like the trophy of a Heisman winner
I used to ride for niggas
And break bread outside of the business
But when they hung me out to dry I decided against it
So ain't no more, callin' on the squad
I felt like Kobe with the Colorado broad
Everybody's out of Dodge
The next time you need a favor from me, I'mma bullshit and yada yada y'all
When the doe is on the pop, everybody wanna call
When a nigga hit his low, you forgot about your dawg
I ain't salty, not at all
Not the least bit bitter
I would die before I ever count on these bitch niggas again
I won't respond like I would do usually
I just smile then I introduce 'em to the new me

[Hook]:
I used to scream on the people that harm me
And the ones who on me before, but it's a new me
Instead of treatin' 'em the same way they do me
I'd rather brush it off and introduce 'em to the new me
They say I'm actin' brand new now, I'm different now
I don't even kick it now, why? Cause it's the new me
It's the new me
It's the new me
You seen how they try to do me, it's the new me

[Verse Two]:
Now my life is too short for these ten minute friends
Who leech more than they support, they just sit and pretend
Ayo, I never would have thought it would be him in the end
Because we used to look at life through a similar lens
But true colors show and you ain't got a penny to spend
I'm disappointed dawg but I ain't there feelin' revenge
Who really needs that drama, brushin' off the bad karma
And continue doin' my Thing like Benjamin Grimm
Still I can't deal with none of them
Some of 'em don't mind a brother ever movin' forward
Long as you ain't in front of them
Comin' in the game, that's the main thing that I notice
Some careers catapulted, others had to paddle boat it
We still headed for the same destination
Maybe the good Lord hit me with a test of patience
It will all come together
The old folks used to say, "It's gon' get a lot worse before it get's better"
I used to think the chemistry we had was kind of crazy
I was thinkin' we the illest
You was thinkin' that you made me
Remaining humble is how I pride myself
I wish you well but homie don't get beside yourself
Cause all the new found fame and the attention's all good
But every hot commodity eventually sees a cold stint
See it's cool to have our name on the front paper
But yours always gonna be the one in bold print

It's the new me
