Old Days

While you been waiting on this music
I been picking up my pen trying not to lose it
Spilling ink on empty pages
I'm reworking all my phrases
My mind goin' different places
I can't cope with all these changes
Lately I been falling back to old ways
More and more I be reliving them old days
I swear I'm always overthinking
Over-smoking, over-drinking
Everyday feel like the weekend
when I'm treating all my demons
See I been going through it
I ain't been going around
I been keeping to myself
Investing up in my sound
I been staying off of socials, I'd rather be out there living
I don't need to post a pic to show I'm winning
I'm getting aggressive
I'm sending a message
All the way from that lane with that legend
I don't really know why y'all be pressing
I be posted with my team
We making moves and counting blessings
Things ain't been the same since my OG left
The block is hot, my morals dead
My vision blurred and conscience red
The neighbors called the cops
I'm skirting off the lot, I'm over that
I just be focusing on this music no more holding back
The point of life is to live it
And who am I to say you didn't
Y'all be posting every day on the gram
Live and die by the screen in your hand
Twitter fingers
Got bigger dreams with bigger figures
I disconnect when I be writing so I guess it figures
I'm not affected by that bullshit on the net
I'm just focused on a check
S E M, that boy he next
Nowadays everybody out here gotta gimmick
And nowadays everybody is a critic
I make shit that should be nominated
It ain't that complicated
But y'all prolly still gon hate it, shit
This that riding with the windows down
I got it now
We in the town
It's late at night
The sun is down
I'm Mayfield bound you know it now
Music getting loud
Ain't no other way to do it this the only route
While you been waiting on this music
I been picking up my pen trying not to lose it
Spilling ink on empty pages
I'm reworking all my phrases
My mind goin' different places
I can't cope with all these changes
