Lord knows I miss the old days, but not my old ways

I just pray the ones around me now just don't change

All I know is grindin' every day until we all straight

Live to see another day, that's what we all pray

How the fuck they critique how we livin' now when they don't know it's dangerous

We don't even know how to deal with what we feel, so we don't even bring it up

We know all about the struggle from the meals to the chills

How my mama felt when she couldn't pay the most important bills

So I'ma tell them what they tell me, long as you don't leave me out to drown

I'm still gon' stay around, ain't nothin' you could tell me

We just youngins tryna chase our dreams to be wealthy

**** talk a lot cause **** really do be 12, like Jim Kelly

Lately I've been talkin' to myself, like ain't nobody gon' be 'round to grab you by your coat tail

Ain't no shoulder for you to cry on, ****, cause you a male

And that's why we could care less, cause we could go out, try our hardest & a fail

But I'm onna finner things, changin' lanes in different ways

All I know is stay the same, stayin' solid how I was raised

They can try me any day, at any time, I never played

They ain't got no evidence I pray they vacate Brodie case

Lord knows I miss the old days, but not my old ways

I just pray the ones around me now just don't change

All I know is grindin' every day until we all straight

Live to see another day, that's what we all pray

Lord knows I miss the old days, but not my old ways

I just pray the ones around me now just don't change

All I know is grindin' every day until we all straight

Live to see another day, that's what we all pray
