Old Ways

[Intro]
Yeah, Bow!
Aye, you know the old ways...
Aye -

[Chorus]
You think you know me but you don't, you know the old ways
I'm not that same kid running through them hallways
I love the way it all played out, I took the hard way
It get easy to maintain when you got it planned
Don't that say sum?
All around the globe, I bet I could shake sum
Promise I'll be ready when that race come
My heart is racing waiting for the day to come

[Verse]
Gotta make no excuses just go get to it
They all want part of my love but they just misuse it
Went and put foot my down, can't get used to it
And I think I deserve a shot, we see I went and proved it
Won't
Allow
Myself
To Lose
(Cuz' look)
It ain't even in me
If you
Give Up
Then You
A fool
That's what I gotta tell myself, I see my future clearly
I bet they wished they believe like when they had a chance
Y'all should know my next line, they ain't in my
Used to be scared of the long road ahead
I wouldn't even glance

[Chorus]
You think you know me but you don't, you know the old ways
I'm not that same kid running through them hallways
I love the way it all played out, I took the hard way
It get easy to maintain when you got it planned
Don't that say sum?
All around the globe I bet I could shake sum
Promise I'll be ready when that race come
My heart is racing waiting for the day to come

[Verse 2]
Now the day in my face and I'm prepared for it
No more chasing them Jenny's, no disrespect to Forest
Spitting my life through y'all speakers like a young poet wrote it
I'm just saying how I feel but it's less metaphoric
A youngin chasing right after the bag, you don't see that everyday
So why they look at me like, can't do nothing else but pray
Cuz' if they take me off this earth It betta be a reason
I just wanna make sure my life really had a meaning
I hope hate won't be the cause
I'm a make sure that that check keep rolling in at damn near any cost
I can't make up for time that lost
So I keep my eyes forward and hope to be a better man everyday

{Chorus]
You think you know me but you don't, you know the old ways
I'm not that same kid running through them hallways
I love the way it all played out, I took the hard way
It get easy to maintain when you got it planned
Don't that say sum?
All around the globe I bet I could shake sum
Promise I'll be ready when that race come
My heart is racing waiting for the day to come
