Caskey Old Ways
[Chorus]
Had to leave my old ways behind
It ain't 'bout the money, I hit decline
How you broke and you still tryna recline?
We goin' up, it's never been a decline
People said it's luck and it was all grind
Phones off, can't nobody call mine
It's a thin line between love and hatred
But their hatred turned into a fault line
[Post-Chorus]
Had to leave my old ways behind
I can't be trappin' to free mine
We tryna switch up the lifestyle
How you gettin' rich with all that free time?
Had to leave my old ways behind
I can't be trappin' to free mine
We tryna switch up the lifestyle
How you gettin' rich with all that free time?
Had to leave my old ways behind
[Verse]
First they, count you out, then you countin' money
Crossin' state lines for that check like a bounty hunter
Put in work first, stay consistent, the talent comin'
Wasn't nobody comin' 'round when I was down to nothin'
Broke was my common state, so many tears came out my momma face
Desperation makin' it hard to keep my honor straight
Need that, so how we get it was feelin' less important
Fired from both my jobs, so I'm finessin' for it
Out of hell, my shoulders scorched
For the family, I'ma go and get it with no remorse
Kneelin', sayin' prayers, though we never been holy boys
How you sellin' pills when you know you lost your partner to opioids?
Crackin' under pressure like the crack game
Been myself, that's why I only rep my last name
Y'all said a year ago that y'all was 'bout to stack change
Look at the bank account and realize y'all got bad aim
Bitch, I know where I'm from, know what I'm headed for
Lotus flower, came out the mud, it's not a metaphor
Lookin' at my mom, I know I gotta do better for her
[Chorus]
Had to leave my old ways behind
It ain't 'bout the money, I hit decline
How you broke and you still tryna recline?
We goin' up, it's never been a decline
People said it's luck and it was all grind
Phones off, can't nobody call mine
It's a thin line between love and hatred
But their hatred turned into a fault line
[Post-Chorus]
Had to leave my old ways behind
I can't be trappin' to free mine
We tryna switch up the lifestyle
How you gettin' rich with all that free time?
Had to leave my old ways behind
I can't be trappin' to free mine
We tryna switch up the lifestyle
How you gettin' rich with all that free time?
Had to leave my old ways behind
