Yea oh yea yea

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

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 Im 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 couldnt 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

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

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, Im just handin them out

Cuz I aint 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, wheres the coop to

Imma let the top down every time I shoot through

To give them motivation even though I know they hatin

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

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

Its 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, whats for me to do

Let these n****s kill me

Try to line me up so they can reel me

Im just givin you the real me

Started with a dollar, now I got it and Im filthy

N***a!

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
