Derrick Shorter & Kay Arie - Old Life Lyrics

Laid the foundation of the plan like an architect
Boy I'm at the table where the hustlers and the bosses at
Prime Michael Jackson, bitches see me have a heart attack
Assisting all my dogs on a play, Chris Paul'ing that
Hopped on this bitch with D Short, we know just what to do
We turned the city up and now they wanna claim the crew
Shit, f*ck the clout, we want the cream like we rep the Wu
And all we talk is shit, so air it out once we leave the booth
Once we leave the booth, don't be mad that we told the truth
Please don't get spun into a strike like how bowlers do
I'm a heavy roller, kind of sort of like how boulders do
Crazy how you laid up under me and now I'm over you
Our time was fun, but I think it's time to switch it up
Onto the next 'cause I got options by the Brady Bunch
Working like I had to punch, thousands I ain't made enough
Before I chill I need a quarter mil, 'til then I'm cutting up
From a quarter mil to a half a mil, I need it all
Shorty think I'm Jeezy 'cause she like the way I seen it all
Sometimes I rap and I don't care to appeal to y'all
I never sleep so my reality be dreams to y'all
But I can show you how to manage if you dream to ball
Just know this hard work shit be really paying off
They really sleep, but we gone eat while niggas nodding off
Can hit the mall and spend it all we screaming "f*ck the cost!"
I bought a camcorder 'cause my life been a movie
That's the way life goes, walking with this Lil Uzi
Just a warning, please don't tempt me 'cause I'm feeling kind of moody
I got too much common sense nigga, please don't make me lose it
When it come down to it, I would really hate to prove it
Bitch it's G-double O-D P shit we the movement
And you rappers act like kids, man I'd hate to fail my students
Grab a pen, take some notes, 'cause these gems we dropping prudent
I got cash in my pocket like New Year's, I'm superstitious
I'm sick and tired of these wannabes acting too pretentious
I done signed a winning slip like I need permission
We coming smooth on the beat, this that New Edition
If a nigga want smoke, I'm Smokey the Bear
If you having goat talks, just put me in there
Cheating on my old life, I feel like I'm having affairs
I'm just tryna stack the wealth to pass to my heirs
Married to the f*cking game, finna have us a date
Talk about feeding the hood, invest in real estate
Some want the old Kayla back, that's a crazy take
If you seen half the shit I did, you would appreciate
They told me life can be a trip now I'm highly aware
Bumped my head a couple times, now I'm fully prepared
It took a lot of time and dedication just to get us here
Was busy jumping off the porch while you sat on the stairs
I am way too meticulous and everything is calculated
Salutations to my new life, vacays out the nation
I'm a bad actor man, I don't do good with the faking
