Used To Be
I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
You ever look in a mirror and see a stranger?
Gotta know who you are amongst the energy exchangers
Knowing is half the battle, a battle could lead to war
And every war has casualties, you see the danger?
They told me fake it 'til I make it, and I tried it
But lemme tell you that advice is not the wisest
You can only play pretend around places you never been
But in the end I guarantee you'll realize if
If you fake the funk too long you'll push people away
You're using lies to cover lies
They won't believe a word you say ('til it's too late)
Now you crying wolf right in front of the pack
They got you surrounded from the front to the back
Just some food for thought, take it with a grain of salt
How you feel about becoming a snack? (A whole snack)
Tell me who you really tryna impress
Tell me who you really are, I'm tired of trying to guess
Tell me... what type of energy you tryna ingest
You tell me it's love, but I can smell the lie in your breath
You want that millionaire status, a millionaires' address
A million pair of Louie V millionaire glasses
But if you get a million pennies, you couldn't manage
... and those glasses are plastic... (wise up)
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
Boy meets world
World gets cold
Cold gets bitter
Bitter gets old
Old meets new
New teach old a few tricks
But old just a lil too stiff, so what now?
Old Yeller's no longer a pup now
Ain't now pulling out if you get stuck in a rut now
Throw em to the wolves like you throwing a touchdown
Shotty gotta body, end up putting that mutt down
Gotta kill that noise
I know yo inner child's hurt, you gotta heal that boy
I know yo energy is low
You need a recharge, a refill, a remix or something to reveal that joy
Used to keep the company who accompanied misery
Now my only company coming for serendipity
Coming from the company who rather you succumb to iniquity
Or any other sick and sinister entity
Over empathy... it's draining mentally
The same people who claim to bang equal changed
Became estranged and defamed your name instantly
Shame how gang gang changed into enemy
Chasing fame while trying to remain see-through
Forever remains lethal, only to gain diddly
The blame game is the whole game literally
Rude, cause we've all been fooled by the same trickery
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
I'm... not... the... same... as I used to be
