Cutting Ties Lyrics

2019 Was a year full of blessings
2018 Was a year of learning lessons
Lotta ties cut, people couldn't follow suit
They took a lotta shots, clearly never followed through
Focused on my own, never bothering with them
Whoever wanna try me now oughta be condemned
Everybody busy scrolling tryna bite the latest trends
I wake up, make moves, find ways to meet these ends

Many heard my story, still can't seem to speak the facts
Try to fabricate the truth like I don't put it on my tracks
Must've heard I've been good I know they don't like that
Rather see me down and out in the gutter with the rats
Told myself I'm better off, leave those people where they at
Couldn't find a way to cheer whenever I was up at bat
Okay bet, no sweat, make sure you don't forget
I was the one who you ignored so later on don't have regrets
No mercy for the fakes, drove too far to pump the brakes
Gonna make it to the top, give a damn what all it takes
30 Years of struggle, never tried to chase the clout
The hood done made me humble, never thought I'd make it out
On God, that's the truth, never saw life past my youth
Now I profit from the pain every time I smash the booth
On God, that's the truth, never saw life past my youth
Now I profit from the pain every time I smash the booth
2019 Was a year full of blessings
2018 Was a year of learning lessons
Lotta ties cut, people couldn't follow suit
They took a lotta shots, clearly never followed through
Focused on my own, never bothering with them
Whoever wanna try me now oughta be condemned
Everybody busy scrolling tryna bite the latest trends
I wake up, make moves, find ways to meet these ends

Grew tired of the same, some people never change their ways
Mentality so toxic, they get lost inside the maze
Never realizing the truth, can't own up to what they do
Try to show them all the proof then they turn it all on you
I've come a long way looking back on who I was
Still ain't acting outta character to generate a buzz
What you get is what you see, still a hungry emcee
Still looking out for those who kept their loyalty to me
I've been patient, I've been giving, sometimes stupid for forgiving
Fed some mouths that I shouldn't, ended up getting bitten
I'm learning as I go, each goodbye's a new hello
As above so below, gotta cut what doesn't grow
With that being said, I could never feel guilt
I'll never let them come and threaten everything I've built
With that being said, I could never feel guilt
I'll never let them come and threaten everything I've built
2019 Was a year full of blessings
2018 Was a year of learning lessons
Lotta ties cut, people couldn't follow suit
They took a lotta shots, clearly never followed through
Focused on my own, never bothering with them
Whoever wanna try me now oughta be condemned
Everybody busy scrolling tryna bite the latest trends
I wake up, make moves, find ways to meet these ends

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
