Used To Be (feat. Jordanne)

[Chorus]

I used to be, I used to

(Used to used to used to)

I used to be, I used to

(I used to be, I used to)

I used to grind in the dirt

I used to cry ‘til it hurt

I will make love to the headphones

When is my time gonna come?

I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

So I used to be, I used to (yea)

But I never got used to (neva’)

Bein’ what I used to be

I was never used to niggas that was used to

Bein’ broke so I started sellin’ coke

Times got hard with sellin’ soap

Skimmin’ just like the preacher I church, you sellin’ hope

Now I’m gettin’ older, heart gettin’ colder

Lookin’ at my son wife’s head laid on my shoulder

Thinkin’ in my head “will I make it to see him grow up?”

Or will I catch a bullet from some these niggas throwin’?

Try and take me out? In the hood try and make it out

Niggas flightin’ on me, cops all stakin’ out

Try and get a couple bricks so I could make a house

Close friends hatin’ on me, really try and play me out

Damn, the niggas couldn’t deal with me

If they had Blackjack my shooters would still hit it

No sight of Philly where is real greedy, and dirty at

We’re right we’re they’re murdered at

I used to be, I used to

(Used to used to used to)

I used to be, I used to

(I used to be, I used to)

I used to grind in the dirt

I used to cry ‘til it hurt

I will make love to the headphones

When is my time gonna come?

I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

So I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

When I was young I started planning it out

My daddy got killed, I was the man of the house

By the age of 16, then them Hamill’s was out

So a nigga’s tryin’ to hit me, I’m just handin’ him out

Cuz I ain’t tryna see my mom cryin’ and my sis’ mornin’

So Imma let this little Mackie level rip on ‘im

Loubrutton sneaks, watch the blood drip on ‘em

For all the times I bled, the tears I shed

Every time I made money, it was here I set

And if my niggas ask for it was “yea” I said

Sellin’ butter just to get the fam bread

I swear I got mad to the streets and it was here I went

Cuz I was never used to bein’ what I used to

Started all walkin’ down the roads, where’s the coop to?

Imma let the top down every time I shoot through

To give a motivation even though I know they hate her

I used to be, I used to

(Used to used to used to)

I used to be, I used to

(I used to be, I used to)

I used to grind in the dirt

I used to cry ‘til it hurt

I will make love to the headphones

When is my time gonna come?

I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

So I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

The man with the gold makes the rules

Anyone who makes the rules, break the rules

Some niggas make it alive, some make the news

It’s either family or money, I hate to choose

Cuz you need money just to feed the fam

And family keep you cool

Got nigga on the paper, still I keep the tube

Niggas heard him gettin’ money so they creepin’ through

I get my hand up on that hammer, what’s for me to do?

Let these niggas kill me?

Try to line me up so they can reel me?

I’m just givin’ you the real me

Started with a dollar, now I got and I’m filthy

Nigga!

I used to be, I used to

(Used to used to used to)

I used to be, I used to

(I used to be, I used to)

I used to grind in the dirt

I used to cry ‘til it hurt

I will make love to the headphones

When is my time gonna come?

I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be

So I used to be, I used to

But I never got used to

Bein’ what I used to be
