Old Times Lyrics by Codiac

In My Skin

2017

[Verse 1]
Everybody asking, man what happened to the old you
I reply man he is old news
Codiac, I know what's best for me
All Black Hearts is in the recipe
I'll show you
No sitting on the sidelines
It's mafucking grind time
I know who ain't coming with me when I get to prime time
I been on a mission, haven't switched it up
Niggas all around me steady giving up
But homie watch me take that shit
I been working all day
Keep it going all night
This my favorite shift
Working OT, tryna be the CEO
You don't know me, but I got that flavor that flows
I'll kill your favorite flows
And if we talking bout your favorite
I'll make em all ghost
And I don't mean to boast
I been sleeping on the bottom
Visualizing the top
Once I get the picture in my sights, I go and don't stop
I guess that you say that I'm the little engine that could
Got loco motives when my train of thought is misunderstood
If you standing where my feet have stood, you know it's no good
Putting work in on the pavements bringing fire to wood
I got that heat in my veins
Can't picture me being tamed
And if you've laughed at me before I'm glad you've been entertained
But this a new show I'm putting on so welcome to the pilot
If you ain't into that real shit, I don't suggest you try it

[Hook]
What happened to the old times
They used to love me for my old rhymes
What happened to the old times
Can't be stuck on what the fuck happened in old times
Everybody round me said I won't do no good
In the old times, little me was misunderstood
In the old times, they telling me I won't do no good
But I ain't worried bout the old times, homie I'm good

[Verse 2]
Fuck the old times
Got them things bundled up in old rhymes
Check your history books
I overload mines
They really digging the flow
Cause I'm a gold mine
Told them I'm bringing the heat
No need to hold mine
I been here since '09
You watching the growth
Imma hop up on the scene
Look like I did it before
Don't even ask em who the kid is
He watching you hope
Watching you stay afloat till I decide I'm stopping your boat
Codiac with two Cs, look like I did it again
I can tell you this for once, I'm feeling good in my skin
Shouldn't have placed your bets against me
I knew you wouldn't win
I'm a perfectionist
And what you do is just sin
But everyone is born a sinner
I been one since the beginning
I don't got no plans of stopping
I'm rocking with no repentance
I'm blocking you out my life if you leading me to a dead end
And that's the truth, don't ask for shit if you ain't lend hands
The pressure gets to me sometimes
I feel I must admit
Can't call it quits or even count the times I almost did
Been dropping hints of self destructive motives when I spit
But when I spit I'm feeling pretty proud when you listening

[Outro]
Everybody round me said I won't do no good
In the old times, little me was misunderstood
In the old times, they telling me I won't do no good
But I ain't worried bout the old times, homie I'm good
