Took me a minute
To really say what I wanted to
Overthinking
And second guessing my humble moves
No more dwelling on past glory
That's yesterday
I know we got some better days in store
but right now, I'm feelin' like
I should of been had it made
And at this age
I ripped my first stage
When I was in sixth grade
I never really got good grades
Never really was that paid
But I knew one thing was for sure
This wasn't no damn phase
Fast forward, 26
My daughter gettin' older now
I miss ya mama
But my heart gettin' colder now
I place the blame on some of her actions
Mines too you know
But sometimes
Shit just happen, in a normal fashion
Everything is not everlasting
That's what my Mom said
And Poppa said too
Then pass that shit down to us
I mean we could you do?
Through the bullshit
I always say stay true
Meanwhile my generation wanna turn up
Rather than hear statements
That will get us through an every day basis
I ain't tryna hit the club
One of my homies doin' time
He don't know when he'll ever, ever
Get to see that sunshine
Meanwhile I'm raising mine
Couldn't take a hour in that cell
When my sister had to come and post my bail
Real shit couldn't say it realer
Does this honesty sound familiar?
When everybody livin' a lie
Scared to say how it is
**** another man opinion dawg
Just handle ya biz
Contemplate my entire life
While I’m smokin' a cig
'Cause it ain't all just makin it big
My nigga live

[Chorus]
For my Old Souls
3x

'Cause I ain't tryna hit the club
One of my homies doin' time
He don't know when he'll ever, ever
Get to see that sunshine
Meanwhile, I'm raisin' my mine
Couldn't take a hour in that cell
When my sister had to come
And post my bail

[Chorus]
