I can sore up to the sky
I don't need wings or feathers
My life fell apart to pieces
So now I'm trying to put it all together

I sit in my room writing letters
Apologizes of an atrocity
Trying to do better like a policy
Stuck to the book like a prophecy

Young n***a felt like prodigy
'til he met a girl that was fond of him
Loved me like she'll die for me
But comes to find out she'll lie to him
(feeling like my hearts in two)
And I feel like it's all because of you

Me and you both know the truth and truth is you
You ain't really much to lose

I don't have much to lose but family and friends
A songbook and some pens
In the past I never got the message
So now I'm trying to understand the present

Mistakes come back like a flow
And I deal with them as life goes
After all the trials I finally have the chance to grow
So now I'm trying to let it all go
CHORUS

The old me's not the new me that's the life I lived before
That's someone I don't know, and now I'm trying to let him go
My feelings are my weakness and I know it can show, can't keep them in no more, getting use to letting go
I know you're always there for when I be feeling low
Just need some time alone, don't gotta let me know
If I'm not on my prime I know my time is on the line
And soon I will shine, soon I will glow

2ND VERSE

Sorrowness and sadness, two things of my passion
Chase my future like a maverick, but I always stop it's a habit
Tell myself I got the magic, and I tell myself I am a savage
But deep down I feel telepathic, not enough shock to my static
Not to be dramatic, but the old me felt fanstastic
My soul was more elastic now my shit feels way to frantic

Now I feel like I'm done for, and everything I had I worked for
Don't like to ask so I gotta secure my own bag
(gotta secure my own bag)

Everything I do, I do it for show
And everything I'm saying, you already know
The old me stop progression so I had to let him go
My feeling hold the pain so I had to let them go
(I had to let them go)
CHORUS
The old me's not the new me that's the life I lived before
That's someone I don't know, and now I'm trying to let him go
My feelings are my weakness and I know it can show, can't keep them in no more, getting use to letting go
I know you're always there for when I be feeling low
Just need some time alone, don't gotta let me know
If I'm not on my prime I know my time is on the line
And soon I will shine, soon I will glow
