Used To Be Lyrics - Meek Mill

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 ns 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 ns throwin 

Try and take me out in the hood try and make it out 

Ns 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 ns 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 ns 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 ns 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 ns 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 na on the paper, still I keep the tool 

Ns heard im gettin money so they creepin through 

I keep my hand up on that hammer, whats for me to do 

Let these ns 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 

Na! 

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
