Old Habits Video (MV)

My name isn't big in the game but it's sure getting big in my circle
People start craving the ink that's engraved in my journal
I get to wondering what will my legacy be and can only hope that it's eternal
Don't think they were trying to be hurtful
When they asked if I'm wasting my time
The only way I ever learned how to cope
Is to put all my thoughts in a rhyme
That was always the dream,
Where I wanted to be, that's where I am now
I reached my own goals made my family proud
They see that I grew and they asking "but how?"
Went from a no name to talk of the town
'Cause I picked up a mic and started thinking out loud
I used to wanna escape
Could never move forward, focused up on making mistakes

I had to go break some old habits
I'm trying to change, I'm trying to change, I'm trying to change
Had to go break some old habits
I'm turning the page, I'm turning the page, I'm turning the page
On my old habits
I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running away
From my old habits
I don't care what you say, don't care what you say, don't care what you say
About my old habits

The thing about me is I've never been a talker
I've never been a speaker, I've always been a bother
I never could forget, I just had to forgive
I always had regrets, I never really lived
But I really tried
I'll give you a second chance like 3 or 4 times
Before I even realize that everything was lies
When I try to plead my case, everybody switch sides, I
Can't keep being complacent
Sometimes I get so low feels like I'm locked up in a basement
I wanna show you the work that I've done, but I'm kinda worried you'll hate it
Wish I could push all the facts to the side, but one day I'll have to face it
Yeah, I've got hope for my future
But I'm busy regretting my past
Rather things come up later than sooner
In a classroom I'm feeling outclassed
I could be leading the group
And feel like the back of the pack
I'm getting better with time,
Confidence, that's what I usually lack
Really that's plagued me for years,
I've struggled, I've hurt
Wanted to speak up, couldn't make it work
Now people are praising my wordplay
Funny how it happens
I needed guidance from others
To break my old habits

I had to go break some old habits
I'm trying to change, I'm trying to change, I'm trying to change
Had to go break some old habits
I'm turning the page, I'm turning the page, I'm turning the page
On my old habits
I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running away
From my old habits
I don't care what you say, don't care what you say, don't care what you say
