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?
