Used to Dream (feat. Mark Battles)
I remember when I used to dream
Now it's all about the money I'm just not the man I used to be
But God damnit when I hear a beat like this it make me feel how I was feelin' when I used to dream
Now it's all about the bottom line, not the man I used to be
But God damnit, look
God damnit look, look, look
It's not the beat it's what the beat do to me
I'm just here collecting what's due to me
Some of y'all are really still rude to me, dig a little deeper y'all about to find the root of me
Truthfully anointed with the truth fully
I'm sick of not bein' rich
Sick of pullin' up to the venue its not even lit
Sick of puttin' in these hours and still not bein shit
I'm sick of hatin' who i am until the music really set in (I should be proud)
I remember when I couldn't get in
Every time I try to justify I get depressed, I done spent my life on memory lane, it's just a dead end
Just lemme smoke these bones by my lonely I'm fine
Now I never dream the way I used to don't know why
Now I should be dreaming more than ever, I won't lie
I'm still whippin' a Toyota barely fuckin' gettin' by
Yo, the work ain't ever over
Meet the quota, leap the soldiers, and retreat for no one
Out here feastin' like a beast I leave the beat convulsing
Nobody made it out my city, got to be the closest
And I was never moded
Touched by God, I was chosen, now let's get these tokens
At night I ride through my old hood, just to keep me focused
It remind me of the times I was young and broken
But I was never hopeless
Just had to keep on growing
No time for ego stroking
Used to tell 'em 'bout my dreams, they would think I'm joking
These days I do a million streams, not with no promotion
Watch me rack up, nigga back up
And that .40 tucked, in case anybody act up
I fell off for a minute, had to get it, now I'm back up
Was sleepin' on a nigga but I came to fuck your nap up
It's Battles
I remember when I used to dream
Now it's all about the money I'm just not the man I used to be

Now it's all about the bottom line, not the man I used to be
But God damnit, look
God damnit look, look, look
Now it's all about the money I'm just not the man I used to be
But God damnit when I hear a beat like this it make me feel how I was feelin' when I used to dream
Now it's all about the bottom line, not the man I used to be
But God damnit, look
God damnit look, look, look
It's not the beat it's what the beat do to me
