cuttin' ties - vanny goodfella lyrics

verse 1
i packed my past in a paper bag, left the corner where the nights stay sad
newark birth, but i chose a different map, different zip, different habitat
no more dead‑end roads, i changed the lanes, traded hood dreams for business names
got my license, got my books, paid my dues, now i’m playin’ by the rules, not playin’ games

pre‑chorus
loose lips sank ships, i watched the tide rise
fake smiles, gossip lines, i cut the ties
trust issues taught me how to recognize
now i move silent, new money, new skies

chorus
i’m cuttin’ ties, i’m cuttin’ ties, watch me fly
from the bottom to the top, i’m on my grind, i testify
fresh slate, new banks, new money in my life
no more fake friends, no more lies, i’m cuttin’ ties

verse 2
different state of mind in a different state to grind
no more gaslightin’, no gang stalkers on my line
fresh food, new ingredients, i cook my peace with pride
new people, new places, new scenery for my stride

business licenses on the wall, receipts for every climb
paying taxes, building credit, stacking time like it’s a rhyme
wasn’t nothin’ for me back home, so i had to leave that line
just ’cause you born in newark don’t mean you gotta die confined
pre‑chorus
jealous ones envy, pocket watchers on the low
cheatin’ women, gossip kings, i let the rumors go
deceitful, hateful people, they don’t get my glow
loose lips sink ships, so i sail where the cold winds blow

bridge
trust no one, trust the plan, trust the work of your own hands
live off the grid if you gotta, build a life that understands
not the same race, not the same face, we different paths, different lands
i’m done with the gossip, done with the scams, i’m movin’ on, i’m takin’ a stand

rap break
left the block with a vision, no permission, made decisions
new employment, new enjoyment, better economic provisions
cut the strings, cut the noise, cut the ties to toxic visions
now i’m cashin’ checks, changin’ checks, changin’ lanes, new positions

chorus (variation)
i’m cuttin’ ties, i’m cuttin’ ties, higher heights
from the bottom to the top, i hustle through the nights
fresh slate, new banks, new money, new lights
no more haters, no more fights, i’m cuttin’ ties
outro
this ain’t hate, it’s peace i choose, a quiet life, a different view
from newark streets to avenues, i built a world that’s mine and true
cut all ties, start again, watch me rise, watch me win
cuttin’ ties, livin’ wise, new chapter, let it begin
