Yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Yeah, hey

Yeah, oh yeah

Yeah

My ambition too lit, might take me over the edge

I look all around me, I see no one but myself

Good book say it's bad for men to always be alone

But good books tell me "fuck em, you can get it on your own"

Heh

So here I am typing these lyrics, no pens

And no pads, just a notepad

Middle of a coffee joint up in the airport

**** on his grizzy headed to the west coast

Young man, young man

Do you know where your soul stands?

Are you including God in ya plans?

You doing everything because He told you

Or doing anything for they approval

Son do not let them control you

If Yahweh is for you, who can be against you, right?

Not the time for Sunday School on a flight?

Even demons gunning for your soul in the fight

Don't lose it from trying to make the world see ya light, I

I failed

Then I tried

I wanna live

Before I die

So many people

That I killed

And I willed

My pride

To go die

But I think I sent away my self-esteem with it

The days when I lose outweigh the days I am winning

Man it's summer but a **** freezing up in this winter, man

No more

No more

Oh Lord

Oh lord

Yeah

Yeah

I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways, I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways

I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways

(I don't wanna go back to my)

Good habits always hard to form

Bad habits always die slow

And man, I feel it creeping on me, I know

It's hard to give up validation when you been so

Screwed over

Stepped on

Overlooked

You put your

Best shit

Forward

But **** kept it moving, man they ignored you

Yeah they knew that you was brilliant, they knowed it

That's why they called you up

To help em make they own shit

And you was killing that pride, so you did it for em

No payment for the service, they just taking your work

For granted

It's getting to the point I couldn't stand it

So I stand up, had to readjust my standards

Pissing off a handlful of people

I'm a savage, like "oh well"

You done got this far, you can do it on ya own, my ****

You popping in the streets, what you need me for, ****?

I am on my own hustle, you just need me for a minute

But when you take off, you haven't called me in a minute

Not even to check me, how I'm doin'

Well guess what? I finally started moving

And when I get where I'm going

God's gonna put me in a place where I'm the teacher

You the student

AGAIN

Class in session

Don't be late, you won't be saved by the bell

If I wasn't capable of being the bigger person

I would make sure you get charged for the billing

But I can't

No

I don't

I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways, I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways, I don't wanna go back to my old ways

Old ways, yeah, old ways

Old ways

Old ways

(I don't wanna go back to my)

I don't wanna go back to my old ways
