The Old Me - Jarren Benton, Shaolin G

I done been through a lot, now a nigga way too hot

All them years I never had anything

But the kid never dropped, had to turn it up a notch

Ayy (Ayy), had to turn it up a notch

Makin' sure a motherfucker listenin'

Nowadays, I be out of my zone

You ain’t know the old me, nigga, leave it alone, ain’t never stopped (Yeah)

They wanna see blood

Whether it’s period blood or busting your fucking face, they wanna see blood

They wanted the old Jarren, I just wanted your love

They dont give a fuck, these kids wanna see blood

Okay, ahem

This ain’t for the emo

This for my disturbed niggas that snort up a kilo

Look up to a gangster like it’s some sort of a hero

When the bad guy died as God tortured the evil (Brrt, haa)

They wanted that old Jarren, that ain’t got a soul Jarren

That raised by the wolves in the wild without no parents (Yeah)

Razor blades, steak knives, need more Jarren

That bash a nigga’s brain out his skull with a pole Jarren (Blaow)

A cold heart, can’t feel a beat and is poor Jarren (Uh-uh)

What happened to you, where did you go Jarren?

'Cause rap feels soft, bunch of colorful hoes Jarren (Bitch)

Whole lot of pussy-ass niggas is now appearin' (Fuck 'em)

Okay, listen, I’m a artist, dawg, I gotta grow (Gotta grow)

I’m more than a skitzo, niggas oughta know (You oughta know)

I give you motherfuckers my heart and soul

I share pain, my life, my highs and all my lows (Facts)

Appreciate the love that’s reciprocated

And the fans that fuck with the music with no stipulations (Love)

I’m not freebasin' with Kevin Bacon

My grandma dead, I ain’t goin back to her basement

I ain’t never stopped, never killed the motherfuckin' old me (Okay)

I done been through a lot, now a nigga way too hot

All them years I never had anything

But the kid never dropped, had to turn it up a notch

Ayy (Ayy), had to turn it up a notch

They wanted the old Jarren, I just wanted your love

They dont give a fuck, these kids wanna see blood

Okay, ahem

This ain’t for the emo (Uh-uh)

This for my niggas they said that wouldn’t amount to zero (Fact)

Gotta talk to God with a gun in the cathedral

'Cause the wicked, they could murder you on the drop of a needle (Brrt, haa)

They hoppin' out of a Regal with Glocks, choppas, and Eagles

You gotta watch for your people, it’s hard to spot out the evil (Yeah)

Don’t let 'em try to mislead you, they always plot on the feeble

The block is always deceitful, you gotta pause at your ego (Haa)

Okay, traumatized look up at the summer sky (Summer sky)

God, why the good ones always gotta die?

(Why they gotta die?)

Niggas wanna ride when you doin' fine (Yup)

When shit hit the fan, then they all, «Bye»

Okay, listen, I’m a artist, dawg, I gotta grow (Gotta grow)

I’m more than a skitzo, niggas oughta know (You oughta know)

I give you motherfuckers my heart and soul

Nowadays, I be out of my zone

You ain’t know the old me, nigga, leave it alone, ain’t never stopped (Stopped)

Dron is the one bro

I ain’t never stopped

I ain’t never stopped

I ain’t never stopped

They wanted that old Jarren, that ain’t got a soul Jarren

Raised by the wolves in the wild without no parents

Look up to a gangster like it’s some sort of a hero

I ain’t never stopped

Sort of a hero

I ain’t never stopped
