Old Years Resolution

(album: Better Safe Than Sy Ari - 2018)

If you in an industry where it conjure nothing but fear, I mean, especially in the early days and stuff like that and then all the things that are fearful to experience in that, you have like a perfect personality for it. You can make it, you are tough. Like it's nothing and you don't fall victim to the nonsense that was

Yeah
My New Years resolution was not to have a resolution
I'll never rest in an institution without restitution, it's therapeutic
All I ask is you credit me if you ever use it
For a caption or a tweet or whatever you lame fuck niggas
Be out pretending and flexing like you came up with it
'Cus when you got your feet, niggas gotta see you walk
'Cus ain't nothing sweet but this Polynesian sauce
I ain't that nigga still fronting like I need the hood
I gotta go to Chick Fil A just to be treated good?
My uncle Keith going blind, can't believe it, y'all
He ain't even tripping, guess he feel like he done seen it all
We in, uh, 2018, you getting to the bag? Yeah
Like you ain't the same nigga from last year, yeah
Who you fooling besides yourself?
Won't nobody get behind you 'til you get behind yourself
That's why my New Years resolution was not to have a resolution
I miss my nigga J.D
And even though we may not speak
Even though you wasted our beach
You ever seen a nigga waste God's gift?
You ain't never have to wait on me
I guess I'll write about it 'til we make our peace
You know that ain't what we on, I was someone you could lean on
Your mom's going through something, that ain't for me to speak on
You should've let me know something, you acting like I don't love her
I love her like my own mother, I love you like my own brother
And if I got it, you got it, 'cus all we got is each other
Shit, but you already knew that, muhfucka
'Member when I paid for your videos on my bday?
Working in the cold with Dantel and GH
My moms watching Mamen at the crib, just so y'all could live
And do something for Jeremiah's kids
Now I understand your situation, you was right for that
I really ain't got no advice for that, damn
Still one of my favorite rappers, it was never 'bout the money
You could never put a price on that, nigga
So we ate together, shared clothes together
Fucked hoes together, the Sway in the Morning show together
'Member?
Remember
Yeah
And no you don't owe me nothing, all I ask
Is you apologize to those who showed you love on my behalf
And please, when you finally apologize to Eunice
I hope you mean it, she really believed in you
My New Years resolution was not to have a resolution
Gave up on a plan that would've worked
I understand you want to put your fam first
But so did I, every day, and that hurts
Word

No matter what you present society, it's an issue, He makes you lighter. Something with personality where you can find and it's not even that bright side. Sometimes I will get that feeling, like feeling stuffy. I mean it's chemical, you deal with the situation as it is, kinda realistic and hardcore, but you're still lighter in it. It feels like a covering, like the warmest coat ever and you won't feel cold because you know he's got your back. Somehow he's always there, always encouraging. No matter what the situation is he knows he could find a way out of it and you need to encourage that. It's not like, nah, you need to get yourself down, there's a way out. You know? We got this. So it's that optimism without seeming unrealistic, it seems realistic. It's the grace of God.
