So Far Lyrics - Artist : SonReal
So long to the old me, baby
You gon' get to know the new name Shit was all good a week ago But now things been gettin' so strange Cause I'm so far, so far from the one you used to call me I'm so far, so far from the man I used to try and be When all these dreams they made up are no more I'll make up some more Used to make up shit Then I threw that makeup all on the floor And smeared all over everything That I thought that you loved me for I was searching for some help Then I fell in love with myself, blah Yeezy shoulda signed him, Khaled shoulda signed him Way I murder shit, you think that Jeffrey Dahmer woulda signed him Came up in the sticks, had the city on my mind Dedicate this one to Nas, my version of my book of rhymes Mama raised a pro prolific kid with a flow though Black a la K-Ci, JoJo, anytime that I go go For it like Forrest Gump, I'm forest like 401 And since I'm calling the shots, they call me son of a gun My saliva and spit can split thread into fibers and bits So trust me I'm as live as they come Got a little cold, couple summers, no sun 'Til I found love and fallen to the one I've become So long to the old me, baby You gon' get to know the new name Shit was all good a week ago But now things been gettin' so strange Cause I'm so far, so far from the one you used to call me I'm so far, so far from the man I used to try and be Extra, extra, read all the fuckboy about it I've been double, triple dotted way before my ass was scouted I was singing off key, but this dream was in my rearview I just took it somewhere, not even fuckin' Siri knew Pops was mad when I quit everything for this here Driving home from practice, put the Land Cruiser in fifth gear Yellin' at the boy like, "What the hell you really doing?" Now we bullshit on the phone He say, "I'm glad you showed and proved it" So far from the old me, Uncle Sam gonna owe me They all looked so surprised When I said, "Rest in peace, Dobie" Got my ear to the ground, I put my heart in the sound I made a promise that I won't follow others around 'Cause following lead to death and they won't lead me to me I took my time with this shit And now time ain't coming for free I made changes to make change with my A game So if you ask me now, be prepared, 'cause I may say So long to the old me, baby You gon' get to know the new name Shit was all good a week ago But now things been gettin' so strange Cause I'm so far, so far from the one you used to call me I'm so far, so far from the man I used to try and be So far from that backpack-wearing Kid rapping that you're used to So close to that man named Aaron That made a name that you can never leave out And so much for holding back my story So close to giving you the new me So far from staying up late nights Ever since I found my One Long Dream And so I say So long to the old me, baby You gon' get to know the new name Shit was all good a week ago But now things been gettin' so strange Cause I'm so far, so far from the one you used to call me I'm so far, so far from the man I used to try and be |
