Lyrics Older but Me - Blake

This is not the way I used to be but things have changed
I spend most of my days thinkin′ my skills have aged
And my version of rap is past its best-by date
But if we're honest I am older and I get by great
I tend to like the small things just a little more
It′s in my nature and nurture to spread my wings and soar
But I did this, and done that, so I explore
Learn to play the guitar, or go play outdoor
Well not really, I'm still more of an inside guy
But by now I hold the door if you're to go outside
And I′ll gladly stay in and enjoy
No hard feelings, you do you, it′s your choice
You know it's true, the noise bothers me less
Except for people like beth, shut the fuck up beth
I relax, put my feet on my desk
And watch as the world burns, as I smile and sit back

It′s not the way it used to be
Shit's changed but this is real
I am older but me
This is the way it′s supposed to be
Not young but mostly free
I am older but me

I got a back ache, and I'm aware death lingers
But I choose to ignore him and give him the finger
Not today, cause I′m invited to dinner
And it's pub quiz tomorrow and my team is a winner
Also, I got a game in one week
With my senior nopracc cs fun team
So please, just lay off the reap
Let this old man play old fuckin' games in peace
And, of course I′m overplayin′ my age
I am thirty and I hear that's all the rage these days
But, all I′m sayin' is that hey, shit′s changed
I am older but free to eat whatever I crave
But wait, when do you think I can do this?
I got a job, got an so, to do lists
So it's not that easy to make music
I′d rather sit back, relax, let them do it

It's not the way it used to be
Shit's changed but this is real
I am older but me
This is the way it′s supposed to be
Not young but mostly free
I am older but me

Age doesn′t make you holier
It doesn't make you whole either
It just makes you a slow reader
And I have not changed
As much as I say
Because for my part in this song I was payed
So I′m gonna say what he says anyway
Wait
What?

It's not the way it used to be
Shit′s changed but this is real
I am older but me
This is the way it's supposed to be
Not young but mostly free
I am older but me
