Nothing New

Somethings never change
Still unlocking new strings
I don't wanna float or fly high
If I'm not ok
I don't wanna, I don't wanna portray
A portrait of a man
Who wasn't fine in the first place
I'm tryna be a man of my word
A visionary for the blind who can't forget what they've heard
My ideas stay in a case
And my collection's absurd
I've been working tryna find out my worth
It's worth it just to stay afloat
Ya talk it up, run into the night
Ride the waves and rock the boat
But what I've realized
Is most of us don't wanna grow
And we don't even try
If we did we'd probably know
What it means to be alive
Go ahead open up
Maybe not it's hurt me too much it feels hopeless
I know it's not but it's hard to admit your scars
Admit your flaws
Admit your heart's been hurt a lot and torn apart
I could sell out and then blow ya
Change all that I know
Just to go and get my cut
Like y'all told me to
But I'll put chains under my tires instead
Cause I'm not scared of the snow
I look back and see that I'm miles ahead
Of who I was before
Things are different right now
I miss what I've known
Wish that I could right my wrongs
I've learned to it let go
But some things still come ashore
I've learned a lot, but not enough
Keep it short but not for long

Back up in the booth
Tryna find my crew ya
Tell me pull the trigger
But I hardly ever shoot ya
I stay in my shoes
Cause I ain't got no roots ya
You say that you love me
Only when I'm pulling through ya
I've been changing routes ya
View it from the roof ya
Different type of mood now
I still got some feelings I try not to look in to ya
Like who am I to you
Understand? I hardly do ya
But that ain't nothing new ya
That ain't nothing new

I still wanna be your best friends favorite rapper
You don't have to like me
You'll still hear it, not before now after
I don't wanna talk much more though
Already said it with my pastor
He said the future's bright when you be moving past it
I been on the floor bleeding out ya
I'm tryna get up
The same guy that drowned
Ain't the same who's hand got pulled up
Been on my grind
Hop in my vibe
Gas in the tank top down when I ride
Been empty before
And I barely survived
But I'm still here so why you gonna question my drive
Shouting, broke, broke
Nah ain't tryna be broke inside ya
But too many people try to stay equal
By sayin you're stuck where you were broken at
Stuff like that, get you blocked real fast
But that's selfish, so that won't last
Cause if I got no love
Then I'm no better then the one's that'll
Burn you out of momentum
Just because they're hurting ya
I'm solo and I'm grown ya
But y'all can always still call my phone
Cause who am I to just say I'm gone
But if y'all don't wanna stay in touch
Please know I'd never give it up
Cause although some things different now
I'm still the same ole tuck
Who am I to say that I can't laugh and cry
Who am I to talk about these things that don't I have inside
Who am I to say I can't be great when I've never tried
Who am I to wish what we had never died

Back up in the booth
Tryna find my crew ya
Tell me pull the trigger
But I hardly ever shoot ya
I stay in my shoes
Cause I ain't got no roots ya
You say that you love me
Only when I'm pulling through ya
I've been changing routes ya
View it from the roof ya
Different type of mood now
I still got some feelings I try not to look in to ya
Like who am I to you
Understand? Sometimes I do ya
But that ain't nothing new ya
That ain't nothing new
