Lyrics for Song: Use To Be
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Meek Mill
Yea oh yea yea
[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 look up to the heavens
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
[Meek]I was never used to n****s that was used to
Bein' broke so I started sellin' coke
Times got hard was sellin' soap
Skimmin' just like the preacher In church, you sellin' hope
Now I'm gettin' older, heart gettin' colder
Lookin' at my son while his head lay 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 n****s throwin
Try and take me out in the hood try and make it out
N****s plotting 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, but n****s couldn't deal with me
If they had Blackjack my shooters would still hit it
North side of Philly where is real greedy, and dirty at
Where everyday they murder at
[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 look up to the heavens
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
[Meek]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, man them hammers was out
So when n****s tryin' to hit me, I'm just handin' them out
Cuz I ain't tryna see my mom cryin' and my sis' mornin'
So Imma let this little Mackie level rip on 'em
Louis Vuitton 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 said
And if my n****s ask for it was "yea" I said
Sellin' butter just to get the fam bread
I swear I got married to the streets and it was here I wed
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 them motivation even though I know they hatin
[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 look up to the heavens
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
[Meek]The man with the gold makes the rules
And the one who makes the rules, break the rules
Some n****s 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 n***a on the paper, still I keep the tool
N****s heard im gettin' money so they creepin' through
I keep my hand up on that hammer, what's for me to do
Let these n****s 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 it and I'm filthy
N***a!
[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 look up to the heavens
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
