(K)New You

[Verse] Look, you’ve done incredible things homie I’m so proud of you but who knew you’d up and just leave on me? Who know that uh, you grew, I didn’t My bad, it ain’t a feeling that I’m new too Uh, but let me remain neutral Anyways, here’s a letter from the new you Where we need to begin? Shit, you ain’t changed much, just the people in your scenery did You got people that you need to forgive Things that need to be said Change is easy to preach but not as easily lived I’m only speaking from experience Learn from mistakes then repeat 'em again It seems reasonable But you got something special if you saw the potential That they see in you From other people’s views, you’re a leader Looking back now, I see it but think about what it’s leading to It’s backwards you’d have to sacrifice What you’ve been building towards half your life In order to have a life But it isn’t all bad, look what you have in life You just need to act a little more than you have in life Now I’m talking like I have a right But can’t imagine where I’m at is where I’d be if I had it right Say I changed but it’s obvious to me They'd relate if the audience has gotten this hungry Peep game, if you’re confident money will solve problems There’s no point in trying not to become me You keep sayin’ you’re gonna change when you grow up Maybe that’s why I relate to you so much [Hook] Looking back where I was going don’t equate to where I’m at So I read this letter in the mirror And swear I see a young me staring back I’ve lost, I’ve gained, I’ve learned some things Shrugged them off and chalked up my losses I’ve travelled far and always returned Back to the place that it all started *repeats in background* [Illmaculate talking] Yeah, looking back, shit don’t add up I swear the finish line was within reach I opened my eyes and I was back at the start, you know? They say everything’s 360 degrees We made a lot of progress, but always returned back [Bridge] Yeah, I ain’t mad at you But this is something that I have to do Won’t explain my attitude I know I changed, why haven’t you? Right, thought the old me flew the coup Guess it’s habit, back to what I used to do This a letter from the future you But maybe I can find it useful too, true…
