The Old Me

(Intro) Yeah I'mma take you a little journey right quick Follow me (Hook) She said she wants the old me The one that never confessed to being lonely The guy that shied away when she would hold me The dude that said if you real shorty then show me Girl that's the old me I don't think you know me Nowadays I wait and I take it slowly Said that she got a man, well, I'm glad she told me Back in the days I would have treated her coldly I promise that's the old me (Verse) Shallow Hal, I like the cute faces I like to have girls in more than two places Different cities, a few races Women with bodies tighter than new braces But I can admit some of them had flaws Cottage cheese in the thighs, stomach was mad soft But I wasn't perfect I now that ass course Groupie told I wasn't working It filled my path up Tryna find happiness searchin' in a bottle Clubbin', gettin' drunk and always flirtin' with a model Hopin' that the DJ shouts me out ????? So she can think I'm halfway famous I wasn't seeing clear Shorty had a man, husband or fiancée I'm looking to score, like LeBron James But like Bron used to do with the final seconds I let someone else have it I'm confessing that was the past Writing these songs About being cold, about being wrong Player mentality, now, it's all gone I treated the other gender like pawns Imagine you trying to take someone else's queen And you hatin' Chess move strategies with everything you're saying Breaking down barriers and looking for a way in And the funny thing is dude don't even know he's playing And he's losing Now, I'm sittin' on this couch, a pretty baby mother I'm up inside her house Hintin' that she feels she want to put something in her mouth Even though she claims that this is not what she's about So she starts to tell me that I'm frontin' on her stupidly And he don't treat her right, she's just using me And I could walk away, it's like there's two of me Cause now I'm besides myself, not who I used to be But even if her man is in another chick This instant, beating it and loving it I still think it's an unfair punishment To know that your wifey is somewhere getting other dick But the old me never confessed to being lonely I shied away when she would hold me I said if you will shorty then show me Girl that's the old me I don't think you know me Nowadays I wait and I take it slowly Said that she got a man, I'm glad she told me Back in the days I would have treated her coldly I promise that's the old me (Outro) That's the old me Yeah I thank you all For listening Haha It's a beautiful struggle Finally evolve I'm almost there Yeah
