You say you miss the old me
But I like the new me
A whole lot better
You say you miss the old me
But did you think
I stay the same forever
Went through an evolution
Embraced change as the solution
When I didn’t like who I was
Found comfort and solace
In making musics and doing drugs
Bugged by the lack of ambition
Turned off by the overload of stagnancy
Some think I’m no longer humble
Cause I stumbled onto a trophy
In life’s beauty pageantry
Some mad at me
Cause I cut ties and burned bridges
But y’all anger ain’t justified
How is it my fault
I decided to do something
With my middle class privilege
Those who were ride or die
Exposed their true nature
The ones that used to support
No longer cheer on and endorse
And are now currently my biggest haters
Yall liked me
When I had a mindset of a pastor
Yall didn’t think too highly
When I started adopting the mindset of a rapper
I’m now the master
When I used to be the slave
And it’s a shame
Cause now some day ones don’t know how to behave
Yall act like I changed
And have some weird rap shit programmed
To my mainframe
I’m still the same
I got respect for God’s memo
Maybe got with me a bigger name
But I still carry all of the essentials
Love and respect
Kindness and decency
Funny how I worked hard to make something of myself
And now old homies suddenly want beef with me
Is it so bad
That now I got some ladies that want to sleep with me
