Back then i was down on my luck
These days things are looking up
So far from all the things that i used to be
I used to be I used to be!
I'm far from who I used to be
How bout you?
I used to wan be just like mike
I had the glove and the shoes
I used to wan be just like mike
Ain't have the jays or the hoops
But I'd cross tf anybody on the court after school & shit that's the truth
I miss them days we used to play by the rules
Now n***as gossip like bitches
Before they fight they gone shoot
Ain't tryna wind up on news
Ain't tryna wind up on noose
Just spent four nights in the booth
While u played fortnite with the crew
You got one life, better shoot
You bet not fw my loot
I'm buildin up Just tryna win this time
A storm in my view
My circle only gettin smaller
Times are hard but I'm cool
Calm and collected I'm focused now
I done sobered up too...
I got so much to do
I got so much to prove
I got songs I never dropped
Shidd if They did might've blew
Put my soul in these tunes
& I Showed them hoes I'm that dude
Shit if they tellin you don't change then they must wan see you lose
Say they must wan see you lose
Back then i was down on my luck
These days things are looking up
So far from all the things that i used to be
I used to be I used to be!
Used to wanna be like my cousin
Used to wanna be like my brother
Used to wanna be like my uncle
Now I'm someone they look up to
I can't tell you what it feel like
When I hear my songs my in public
People that I never met before
Like hey man keep it up, aye keep it coming needed something with some substance
Rappers can't stick to subject
They too hard to talk bout love
If they ain't talking bout the club
Or all the women they done f*cked
Then they gone talk bout how they balling
Or done ran off on the plug
But they ain't doing that...
Really stayed true to Matt
Really made moves this year
Used to say my shit was whack
Like I was gone be cool with that
Losing just to lose again
It's hard when you get used to that
They saying life's a movie
Guess it's true cuz n***as shootin here...
They used to pray i ain't win
I Used to be lot more social
Now I don't want no friends
I Talk to God bout get outta out here
He told me "go in"
I'm Far from who I used to be by gettin closer to him
Back then i was down on my luck
These days things are looking up
So far from all the things that i used to be
I used to be I used to Be!
