Lyrics RIP Old Me - Paul Wall

RIP Old Me

I was taught no matter how tall the mountain to keep climbin'
Perfect timin' how I dodge death just for a breath
Watch how I step, the change-up gon' come at you quick (Come at you quick)
See, I ain't trippin' on opinions of others, I need my smothers (I need my
smothers)
Long as my brothers straight, keep the cake among us (Among us)
No wonder why my mama was prayin' for me them late nights
She told me I was flirtin' with death, playin' with life
Now, I might not understand that completely ('Pletely)
But I know them gunshots wasn't there, it's all the BBs

I shoulda died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
I coulda died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
I almost died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
But I survived a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
So rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me

Step with intention 'cause my life is an adventure (My life is an adventure)
How many shots do it take to get the picture? (Get the picutre)
I learned my lesson and I leveled up (I leveled up)
I ain't dead yet, so you can go'n 'head and put the shovel up (Yeah)
Trouble up and follow me wherever I go
So I move slow, I know that friend can turn into foe (Turn into foe)
And when you papered up with dough, it's even worse (Worse)
So I focus my mind on the grind and put the first things first (First things
first)
I immerse myself daily in whatever they pay me (Whatever they pay me)
I need God's grace greatly 'cause it's been poppin' off lately
Paul Wall, baby, let me put it in perspective (Perspective)
I move selective (Selective) ever since I understood the message (The message)
It's quite impressive how my heart still beatin' (My heart still beatin')
Factor in the times I cheated death, whatever the reason (Whatever the reason)
I'm on my way out, but I ain't leavin' just yet
I got a few more debts to collect, for sure

I shoulda died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
I coulda died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
I almost died a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
But I survived a thousand times (A thousand times, a thousand times)
So rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me (The old me), the old me
Rest in peace to the old me

I shoulda died a thousand times
