Eric G - A New Me lyrics

[Verse One]: This is Kam Moye the pop, the father and the author I parted from the party so pardon my departure Part of me is partially a martian of wealth The other side of me just made it harder on myself Cause the cards I was dealt was like a folded poker hand It's hard for you to tell, but it stung like an open hand Smack to the jaw, courtesy of Iceberg Had to use the pimp an*logy to find the right words But now Heaven and the sky's the limit My name rise like there's helium and hydrogen in it I learn lessons like a Five Percenter Never stick your hands out like the trophy of a Heisman winner I used to ride for n***as And break bread outside of the business But when they hung me out to dry I decided against it So ain't no more, callin' on the squad I felt like Kobe with the Colorado broad Everybody's out of Dodge The next time you need a favor from me, I'mma bullsh** and yada yada y'all When the doe is on the pop, everybody wanna call When a n***a hit his low, you forgot about your dawg I ain't salty, not at all Not the least bit bitter I would die before I ever count on these b**h n***as again I won't respond like I would do usually I just smile then I introduce 'em to the new me [Hook]: I used to scream on the people that harm me And the ones who on me before, but it's a new me Instead of treatin' 'em the same way they do me I'd rather brush it off and introduce 'em to the new me They say I'm actin' brand new now, I'm different now I don't even kick it now, why? Cause it's the new me It's the new me It's the new me You seen how they try to do me, it's the new me [Verse Two]: Now my life is too short for these ten minute friends Who leech more than they support, they just sit and pretend Ayo, I never would have thought it would be him in the end Because we used to look at life through a similar lens But true colors show and you ain't got a penny to spend I'm disappointed dawg but I ain't there feelin' revenge Who really needs that drama, brushin' off the bad karma And continue doin' my Thing like Benjamin Grimm Still I can't deal with none of them Some of 'em don't mind a brother ever movin' forward Long as you ain't in front of them Comin' in the game, that's the main thing that I notice Some careers catapulted, others had to paddle boat it We still headed for the same destination Maybe the good Lord hit me with a test of patience It will all come together The old folks used to say, "It's gon' get a lot worse before it get's better" I used to think the chemistry we had was kind of crazy I was thinkin' we the illest You was thinkin' that you made me Remaining humble is how I pride myself I wish you well but homie don't get beside yourself Cause all the new found fame and the attention's all good But every hot commodity eventually sees a cold stint See it's cool to have our name on the front paper But yours always gonna be the one in bold print [Hook]: I used to scream on the people that harm me And the ones who on me before, but it's a new me Instead of treatin' 'em the same way they do me I'd rather brush it off and introduce 'em to the new me They say I'm actin' brand new now, I'm different now I don't even kick it now, why? Cause it's the new me It's the new me It's the new me You seen how they try to do me, it's the new me
