Used 2 Be

In the time after dark
I miss the little spark
I used to get from you
As we would stroll through the park

Now you can't get what you want
You feelin' nonchalant, you forgot
Leavin' me on read
Is a valid response and

You not what you used to be
You not what you used to be (Nah)
You not what you used to be, but
We all come around eventually, yeah

You ain't what you used to be, (Uh)
You ain't what you used to be, (Nah)
You not what you used to be, (Uh uh)
I know I'm on your mental heavily

Lately I been growin' up
Lately I don't give a fuck
Lately Arizona's, what?
A dollar $.09?, that's bullshit

Like when you used to start shit
Day in, day out arguin'
I'd always used to fall in
The shit you used to bargain and

I went and readjusted my demeanor
So, I'm thinkin' clean, and lookin' cleaner
Best in my department, like Serena
Used to get you wet, shakin' in yo femurs (Ooh)

I got the recipe now
You went and disappeared
It's got the best of me, wow
You hear it in the lyrics

You saw me as the lesser-half,
Now I laugh
You say found a new guy
"Lemme guess, this nigga rap?"

Gotta add another youngin'
To the child support
I ride the chorus, then I make
The verse the main course

Unintentional slang
They all know where I'm from
I hope this shit ain't a game
'Cause I'm up 12 to none, yeah

I could use a blizzy
And a fifth of brown
Seem like I move better
When you not around

Who would've known that
The backshots would back me up
Kinda suck, fightin' and fuckin'
Would be the best of us

I could use a blizzy
And a fifth of brown
Seem like I move better
When you not around

Who would've known that
The backshots would back me up
Kinda suck, fightin' and fuckin'
Would be the best of us

Now you ain't what you used to be (You ain't what you used to be)
You ain't what you used to be (You ain't what you used to be)
You ain't what you used to be
What you used to be, what you used to be, yeah

You ain't what you used to be (You ain't what you used to be)
You ain't what you used to be, yeah
You ain't what you used to be
What you used to be, what you used to be

By verse two, I'd assume
That you've turned off this tune
A little much to consume
Given the time and mood

Heard my shit done popped off
At the university
Lookin' for the best in you
You saw the worst in me

Girl, how the fuck that shit work?
I took you out the dirt
Don't forget you called me Daddy
That was one of my perks

You fine and all shawty
But you ain't worth the headache
Imma put you front and center
On a couple of my tour dates

Oh well, touché
Think of it as a cliché
Tell me who you know gone make
Everyday feel like Friday

I can tell that you been stressin',
Babygirl 'cause it shows
More of a lesson than a blessin'
That's the way that life goes
