Old Ways

[Verse 1:] Uh, yeah And how the saying go, things change Skinny dude, but the flow is the size of Ving Rhames Pennies from my thoughts add up, I hope you bring change I know these haters ain't want me to see my wings raised Flowin' shoes polishin', rappers I demolish it I done lost my mind, in need of a psychologist They could care less back when I was still in colleges And now the boy be in London, Theophilus It's tough tryin' to end up on the paid route The flow is medium rare, now bring the steak out This is my medium, here, see how it plays out They all buggin' me, I gotta pull the Raid out Using it sparingly, forever will they cherish me Before I black out, introduce my moment of clarity [Hook:] I'm not the same, style change But I can leave the game Now I'm right back to my old ways I take life so slow, every minute gotta go Now I'm right back to my old ways We only here for a little So I'm somewhere in the middle And I'm right back to my old ways I'm not the same, style change But I can leave the game Now I'm right back to my old ways [Verse 2:] Let's take 'em back to days when we had no radio plays And we had to change up our ways, cause success breeds Difference, try to keep it clean While they litterin', snakes in the grass, they try to slither in The rose that grew from concrete, not witherin' And it's life so fast, the lights keep flickerin' What goes around comes back, and that's the karma truth I log onto my closet, that shit is Karmaloop So I get a little fresh My teachers used to hate me, but now I could pass the test Got confidence, subconciousness Makes me overlook all of my many accomplishments But, see I get it like nobody else did I found a deeper meaning, of what sense of self is And I'mma die of old age And stay true I reverted back to my old ways [Hook:] I'm not the same, style change But I can leave the game Now I'm right back to my old ways I take life so slow, every minute gotta go Now I'm right back to my old ways We only here for a little So I'm somewhere in the middle And I'm right back to my old ways I'm not the same, style change But I can leave the game Now I'm right back to my old ways
