Kyle Spratt - My Past lyrics
[Verse 1: Kyle Spratt] They think they know me, they didn't even meet me yet I can't believe how ignorant all these people get He bought his house with drug money, he's in debt (heh) He's got a new girl - I wonder if he beats her yet (come on) I'm sittin' back like "why am I even getting mad? It's the first non-abusive relationship I've had." And yeah I'm proud of it, turned into a father A dad, produced a beautiful daughter, inspired to produce tracks Now I'm back, but where exactly did I even go? Rarely even leave the city, barely even leave my home All these f**en big shots, the eagle's gotta go Cause physically stay in place, but spiritually I roam I did some soul searching (yep) Yeah I found myself (yep) I'm not the old person who was always down and out, found some help (aww) Surround myself with positive people, but they might as well be negative All my past negligence set precedence [Hook: Kyle Spratt] Nobody's giving me a break cause of my past mistakes I know my reputation looks bad (looks bad) But you gotta believe me, my life ain't been easy Why you gotta treat me like that (like that)? Cause I swear I got a big heart, and I just want a fresh start I'm trying to get my life on the right track (right track) Forget what I once was, man, trying to grow up Quit judging me because of my past (my past) [Verse 2: Kyle Spratt] Every time I start new, people start to notice and don't look at the change They look back on mistakes And every single time that I start to get something good going Someone's right there to throw my f**ing past in my face Oh you used to be that, yeah you used to do this. Ain't you that rapper guy that.. (Yeah that's me) ...who must have convinced, so prove to whom to prove to you that the new me is formed Reborn -- not sixteen anymore! (Ugh!) Almost twenty-four, ain't even twenty-one no more I don't chill with those losers, and I ain't f**in' that who*e The me who wants to, ain't the one anymore But keep talking about me, cause man it's fun to ignore (hah) Only time it really bugs me is when I'm having a bad day When I feel negative, so I think of it that way Get all deep in thought, then I realise the facts (oh yeah) Man I need you to yap -- it's the reason I rap [Hook: Kyle Spratt] Nobody's giving me a break cause of my past mistakes I know my reputation looks bad (looks bad) But you gotta believe me, my life ain't been easy Why you gotta treat me like that (like that)? Cause I swear I got a big heart, and I just want a fresh start I'm trying to get my life on the right track (right track) Forget what I once was, man, trying to grow up Quit judging me because of my past (my past) [Verse 3: Kyle Spratt] Gotta counsel these people They don't understand that I've become a man (they're all confused) Yeah I've done evil, but I did the crime, did the time and I've (paid all my dues) Man you think it's that simple (uhh), like wiping your a**, or picking a pimple (nah) It isn't that simple, it isn't that easy (nope) Cause you gotta be brave to change, cause these people's brains remain the same Gotta make 'em believe (yeah, yeah)! If you accomplish that feat, what a thing you achieve Got to the point, with me, I made it my dream Had to change my reputation, and not just for me But for my baby girl, carrying my Spratt name, shares with me my last name Now I'm looking at fame like it's life Don't have it, but don't want it (nah) Just wanna be a father. All I want is my daughter [I DON'T WANNA BE BOTHERED, BUT] [Hook: Kyle Spratt] Nobody's giving me a break cause of my past mistakes I know my reputation looks bad (looks bad) But you gotta believe me, my life ain't been easy Why you gotta treat me like that (like that)? Cause I swear I got a big heart, and I just want a fresh start I'm trying to get my life on the right track (right track) Forget what I once was, man, trying to grow up Quit judging me because of my past (my past)
