Old Guard Lyrics by North Point

...And That’s Okay

2022

Since I's young
My dad had talked to me
Like any nigga off the street
He wasn't cheating me
'Cause that's how niggas treated me
Honestly I think he knew
That's what I'd go through
I only seen him here and there
Went through it when he wasn't there
Did some things he did
Without ever seeing him do it
Through genetics I guess I wasn't ill prepared
Shit I'm your first
And probably grew to be your illest kid

I gotta laugh 'cause not literally
Got your big ass head
'Cause bitch I get cocky like a lightskin
With green eyes and a pocket full of green guys
And thank you for the pass by insights
That's the shit that stuck
Reason that nobody can treat me like I'm on a crutch
You was gone when I was young like you drive trucks
Wasn't yo fault sorry it took me
'Till I was old enough to realize

Been through shit that
Damn near made the news
Make ya realize
How this system treated you
And how it can get weird for guys
Especially ones that look
That look like me
That shit make you vicious
It's crazy I became a victim
Of someone that I had treated right

But everything is circumstantial
Tried to turn my situation
Into something I could handle
Because a wise man once told me
And as far as I know
That's just something that a man do
I wasn't taught to be a bitch or manhandle
That shit happen to the best of us
Humbled 'em
Make 'em like the rest of us
But I ain't give up
Did a 'lil different
And try for what
I thought the difference was

Even moved out the hood
Planning for the greater good
Kinda irrelevant but since we not speakin'
Want you to know we alright
Hope you doin' decent
Man I miss the mischief
That I could get into
When I would quote on quote visit
Every other weekend
You know I can't lie
And I can't pretend
By the way Legend's
Really good at speakin'
Another baby on the way
We gon' name him Zen
Congratulations
You a grandaddy again

We all know just how life’s long decline goes
Seem so surprised when it goes just as described
Loved ones decline close
Visit keep our eyes closed
Man it’s fucking wild
Just how fast the fucking mind goes
When structure gives way
To interruptions and repetition
When it’s vague recollection
Without true recognition

‘Til memories are reduced
To an ever repeating slide show
Of various fractured moments
Behind ever increasing white snow
Adjust the antenna
It ain’t 2009

Got me all in the mirror now
Like what am I looking at
She got some art to show
Like what am I looking at
He got some art for sure
Like what am I looking at

Like what am I looking at
What am I looking at?
