The Old Me (Feat.HardTarget) - Single Songtext
von Durte

I ain′t really like the old me
And even though it takes this toll
Boy, the pain of the change is the only way you grow, oh, oh
I never listened when they told me
"Boy, you ain't gonna be shit
You won′t ever get it goin' if the rubber don't meet the road"
If you ridin′, buckle up, let′s roll (ayy, ayy)

I couldn't just sit back and listen
To the way that people were bitchin′
Decided to try something different to switch this stigma up
I put down the drink, started liftin'
Quit holdin′ grudges, started givin' a fuck, more lovin′
Forgiveness changed how my livin' was
Want my reflection to be an image of me
They don't remind me of what I once was (was)
So, I keep workin′ on bein′ a little better each day
And makin' changes because


I ain′t really like the old me
And even though it takes this toll
Boy, the pain of the change is the only way you grow, oh, oh
I never listened when they told me
"Boy, you ain't gonna be shit
You won′t ever get it goin' if the rubber don′t meet the road"
If you ridin', buckle up, let's roll (yeah)

I was stuck inside the past, foot was on the gas
Followin′ a problem that I knew I couldn′t pass
Swervin' in and out of fights, I knew I would have crashed
And if I hit the brakes, I′d be a bullet through the glass
I can't see where the time′s gone, I drive with my lights off
Try to fortify the inside, but I'm crumblin′ down like drywall
Maybe I'm needing to relax, 'cause I′m bleedin′ from the back
And the bloodstains I have, I can't wipe off

And life is just a competition of criticism and bitchin′
You could play the villain or the victim
Or be stuck inside the system of the person that I used to be
'Cause fuckin′ up is nothing new to me

I ain't really like the old me
And even though it takes this toll
Boy, the pain of the change is the only way you grow, oh, oh
I never listened when they told me
"Boy, you ain′t gonna be shit
You won't ever get it goin' if the rubber don′t meet the road"
If you ridin′, buckle up, let's roll (let′s roll)
