Old man Lyrics

Ed E. Ruger
Okay
Yeah Let’s Go
You listenin’ man you gonna have to right here, I’m tellin’ ya
I’ve always been the bad part of good, the right part of wrong
I never knew my dad that good most of my life he been gone,
But what I had was that good til I put my life in a song,
Reach out and grab the hood squeeze ‘em tight in my arms,
Now I’m supposed to be calm when I’m writin’ these poems,
And getting chills on my arms like I’m reciting a song,
I remember all the nights I spent fightin with moms,
They know what I was fightin for cuz I be fightin some more,
And I remember trying to grind until the white almost gone,
And I’d sniff through the nights till it’s almost dawn,
Sit back, relax and start lighting a bong,
Figured it be easier if I was high and stoned,
See it’s hard when you restless always trying to roam,
And you thinking they tappin’ all the lines on your phone,

and you see the same cars every time you ride home,
it don’t matter what happen I’m gonna try to be strong.
Chorus
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( come on listen to me)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (yeah, yeah)
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( I know yall feel this)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (C’mon yeah, yeah)
(hey yo, hey yo c’mon)
I used to hate the mirror cuz of what was looking back at me,
The face of the same man chasing after me,
If I’m runnin from the law either one to tackle me,
I put the burner down, he still hurassin me,
See while you was gone my mother was a dad to me,
You left me and my sister all I had was the streets,
Looking up at Dutch, Shorts, and Butch Cassidy,
I seen a lot of things a kid should never have to see,
My life was a catastrophe but it didn’t have to be,
It all could’ve ended in some kind of tragedy,
But in the end a better man was all I had to be
And realize that all my family had was m,
I never knew how powerful these little raps could be,
I’m in the spot light now where all the action be,
You hear the crowd and how they react to me,
I’m a grown man now and you ain’t half of me.
Chorus
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( come on listen to me)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (yeah, yeah)
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( I know yall feel this)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (C’mon yeah, yeah)
(okay, let’s go)
Listen Gavin you might not understand this song
But trust me little man you understand when you grown,
See you my nephew but I love you like you my own,
With all these people on your side, dog, you’ll never be alone
Dominique and Gabriel I ain’t forgotten you
Even though ya momma think we hang around some rotten dudes
If the truth be told man we probably do,
And rich yall, take care of Austin too
I learned from my pops what not to do
Do everything in my power not to part with you
cuz if I do, I know it rip your heart in two,
Cuz you apart of me and sugar hills its apart of you
I tried to hold it in but that was too hard to do,
I know I’m hard headed, yeah that part is true
I had to fend for a minute hope yall can relate,
Old man it’s over now I’m bout to clean my slate
Chorus
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( come on listen to me)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (yeah, yeah)
Old man take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you ( I know yall feel this)
Ah, one look at my eyes and you can tell that’s true (C’mon yeah, yeah)
Cameron, Cain, Peter, Michael, Chad, keep your head man everything’s good baby
