Old Me (feat. Willie Boy)

I'd time travel back to the younger me and told

We could both go together through the windows of our soul

Travel down this lonely road and you think nobody knows

I promise that you'll make it so don't ever sell your soul

Look I inspect ya back ports

Tape decks, smoking straight cess

I just had some great sex now I'm on a plane jet

Visualize what I create next

To take the next leap yeah you gotta leave the past behind

A mastermind

I'm floating on a cloud to take these raps of mine

To places where they have to shine

These rappers sweet as apple pie

Laugh from time to time but it's about the time I show my demons

Down to half the size they used to be

So I won't even shoot the breeze

I had a talk with the old me

Told him as an OG

Youngin' you could be the next HOV if you slowly

Take a walk with god and embrace your own fate

Don't live your life for others and stay at your own pace

Don't live your life with blinders on and control your own race

Youngin' you could do it all but do it slowly

I had a talk with the old me

Told him as an OG

Yeah I told him as an OG

Never did I think in all my years of living

This is how it'd play out with the cards I was given

But if I could go back even just for one day

There's just not enough ink to write down what I'd say

Where do I even start? Cause you've always had heart

I guess I'd tell you now, make more room for your art

It's true you got smarts; books and streets at that

But the latter will hurt you & I know that for a fact

It don't matter in the end, I promise that you'll leave

But it'll come at a price with a pain you can't believe

Some people that you'll meet will try to help you heal

Just be weary of the ones who just can't keep it real

You'll fall in love too and some of them will really hurt

But it's the one you'll least expect that'll change your whole earth

Last but not least, don't let the world turn you cold

There's a reason that you make it, it's a blessing to grow old

You know?
