Use To Be

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
