How I Used to Be Lyrics

You reap just what you sow, and that's just how this life shit works

Yeah, he used to be so different then he started popping perks

Everybody's out to get you when you rich and when you famous

You be picking on that nigga and you call him ignoramus

I can't say this was my year because next year gon' be my best

I lost my dad when I was thirteen, that shit left me in distress

Not everybody checked up on me, some people left me to rot

He don't think that he can change because the streets are all he's got

If I distanced myself before, it was all just for a reason

Don't you disobey the King because that shit can lead to treason

I can play both sides of that shit like a two-way inside-out

I been saying Imma make it and they face be full of doubt

If you did me wrong one time, then I can't look at you the same

You be critiquing what I do and I just find that shit so lame

Stop calling me your bro if you won't there when times got hard

I don' took so many deaths and that shit left me so scarred, yeah

I'm not picking sides

But the money, money, money on my mind

I'm not going back to how I used to be

I used to be

I'm not picking sides

But the money, money, money on my mind

I'm not going back to how I used to be

I used to be

Everybody switching up because they feel entitled

You getting mad 'cause your shit floppin' but look how that shit is titled

Yeah, it's me against the world and it's gon' turn into a rumble

Everybody been waiting to see me fall over and tumble

You just talk behind my back, but you don't know how I be feeling

My potential is so high and that shit go right to the ceiling

You gotta cut out all distractions and just focus on yourself

You better watch your back at all times 'fore you end up on a shelf

I ain't never been the type to snake my bro just for a laugh

He don't like how they do business, they don't split they bread in half

They only love you when you dead that's when they just might start to care

I'm glad I distanced myself I just needed all them out my hair, yeah

R.I.P my dad, it's been so hard since you left Earth

Your name gon' always live through me and they gon' know that shit had worth

And does money bring you happiness or does it make things worse?

They be drivin' 'round so slow, you'll think they're driving in a hearse, yeah

I'm not picking sides

But the money money money on my mind

I'm not going back to how I used to be

I used to be

I'm not picking sides

But the money, money, money on my mind
