Old Me

[Intro: MonotheMaker]
Girl, that’s the old me
Bitches in my phone, but that’s the old me
Never coming home, that was the old me
And they can talk their shit, but they don’t know me

[Verse 1: Michael Kraun]
Bumping Nas on Pandora
Got a couple credit cards I gotta hand over
And I gotta pick up shorty from the airport
She be worried that I’m apathetic lately, saying I need to care more
And she was there for a youngin’ when I was a mess
Under threats, under duress, punching my chest
Cause I must’ve been going ape shit or something I guess
Still had hoes undressing, when I was underdressed
I’m just a messed up creature
Too drunk and incoherent to tell you how much I need you
Needed E-P to scoop me up so I could come and see you
That’s when you said you loved me, and I said I didn’t believe you
Picked you from arriving, coincidental timing - I find it all kind of dark
Cause within a few weeks later you and I would depart
Now I’m stuck here wishing you and I could restart

[Pre-Chorus: MonotheMaker]
Girl, that’s the old me
Bitches in my phone, but that’s the old me
Never coming home, that was the old me
And they can talk their shit, but they don’t know me

[Chorus: MonotheMaker]
And I changed for you
For my family, I go vigilante
Bruce Wayne for you
You understand me
You’re so understanding
I prayed for you
You been my right hand
So I went left and got a ring for you
Look who I became for you

[Verse 2: Michael Kraun]
We all got older, but how many grew up?
How many switched moves up and make improvements?
How many claimed to be Caesar but then became Brutus?
How many claimed to be Jesus but then became Judas?
Fluent with the vision, I grew up with precision
Couldn’t be a hero, had too many superstitions
How you learn to be a hero when the president a villain?
I guess we need some heroes if the president a villain
Filled with so much anger and bitterness
The pain is ubiquitous
Swore that I would change but every day I make a mess again
How can I forgive myself?
For the things I could’ve done, back in the days when I was innocent
And through it all, you forgave me for the instances
We were friends with benefits though I would only benefit
So I killed my old self, it was self-defense
Used to be my ex girl, now we excellent
See I came a long way, yeah I learned the hard way
Them other girls missed out but they know it now
Yeah we been through long days
Though you knew that I would change
That’s why you my wifey now and you hold it down
But it took me till infinity to realize
I needed to grow up, I needed to change my ways
Middle finger to the haters, that’s my peace sign today
Long as we never give up, we gon' be okay

[Pre-Chorus: MonotheMaker]
Girl, that’s the old me
Bitches in my phone, but that’s the old me
Never coming home, that was the old me
And they can talk their shit, but they don’t know me

[Chorus: MonotheMaker]
And I changed for you
For my family, I go vigilante
Bruce Wayne for you
You understand me
You’re so understanding
I prayed for you
You been my right hand
So I went left and got a ring for you
Look who I became for you

[Outro: Michael Kraun & MonotheMaker]
You been there through the highs
You been there through the lows
I admit I was blind
You showed me where to go
Girl, that’s the old me
And they can talk their shit but they don’t know me
And I changed for you
