Same Old Jay

[Verse 1]

Yo
Been a while but I had a break from the rap shit
While I go and take a bit of time, reflect on my mistakes
Get my mind state to mine today
I took ten years but I'll finally say
That I act my age when I rhyme this page
While I kill with rhymes and I ride this wave
And this way won't break, die or fade, no
In the past I have tried to explain
Now I'll hide this pain and my light in my brain
That I'm thinkin' shit that I'm writin' right away
Any time, whether night or day so
From the first time I wrote a song, in a weird way was a note to God
Was he real, didn't know or not, thinkin' he had some sort of a prob'
But I was a kid, just troubled youth
Had no one to turn to but you
The teachers never went and helped and shit
Even though their job is to help these kids
The system's fucked for a quick buck
Get you off drugs then give you prescription ones
That heavy dose will hit you once, suddenly you're a distant cunt
From all your friends, [?] one person
All of a sudden you're a different one
Stuck in deep thought, thinkin' all this shit that before you weren't thinkin', nah
Like, what the fuck am I doin' in this life?
Livin' everyday as the same, is it just my brain?
A chemical imbalance that I just find
Soundin' like an emo when I bring it up on this mic

Hello all and welcome to my flow
Take a seat and just light up your hydro
Pull your feet up and just vibe into my zone
Every time I'm behind the mic, yo it's my show
Yeah I know it's the same old Jay
But the same old Jay is the Jay you rate
Fuck any haters or the games they play
I stay in my lane with the same old way

Hello all and welcome to my flow
Take a seat and just light up your hydro
Pull your feet up and just vibe into my zone
Every time I'm behind the mic, yo it's my show
Yeah I know it's the same old Jay
But the same old Jay is the Jay you rate

[Verse 2]

I always said that I'll come back
Done album one then a massive gap
Family comes first and I got a son now
That spins heads so I guess that is that
Now you know, yeah Jay's a dad
Last thing on my fuckin' mind was rap
The first year of his life was the best time in my whole life that I've ever had
Now I see how it's changin' me
From the crazy ways I was raised to be
From the anxious, lazy Jay-Dee
To the me lately that's gone and chased my dreams
'cause album two's gonna show you's all
I never went away to ever choke or fall
And once it's drops I'll have your heads noddin' like names not on the door
Why these people underestimate the case that I can script and pace this
Switch it up in different shit, in not just one specific way
And this is great, I'll save my shit
Then my engineer will mix away
Quick drinkin' so I'm not sinkin'
Now my mission from now is frickin' pay
While my time is tickin', I'll just get busy writin' this today
I do this for my family, pushin' limits
And all the other shit that I didn't take
'cause now it's time to go all out with this
Take control, grab hold of this rap shit
Kill every beat that I speak and attack with
Only straight facts on my tracks yo that's it
