I Used To Lyrics

Life's beauty doesn't elude me

It includes me

Spread love is my duty

I had to leap out of my darkness to see

I can't take you too serious

Your vibe ain't got nothing to do with me

Too much dark vibes were confusing me

Tried to be so true to you

I turned a blind eye when you was abusing me

Made the excuse I could take it

Cos this pain shit ain't nothing new to me

Had to rearrange my brain and shit

Now I see plain, now I stay true to me

Now I know what I want

And what I want's to be truly free

No entrapment, less attachment

Just my lucid dreams

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute

Life's beauty doesn't elude me

It amuses me

So much to do and see

And content just to chill in my room in peace

Shed tears and I do bleed

And I might feel ashamed if you see,

But fuck what this world wants me to be

Strip away every ting I'm a human being

I can't control everything

I just try and put my soul into everything

No house, no car, no wedding ring

But this material world isn't everything

We leave and enter the world without anything

They sold me American dreams

I wanted everything

Now I wanna fly, gotta let go of the heavy tings

Fly like the cherubim

With his many wings

Spread my wings wider than the peregrine

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute

I used to want stripes and bodies

I used to want power and money

I used to want to tie up somebody

And take away the shit they've got

I wanted to be thick with thieves

I wanted chicks to come fuck, wanted chicks to leave

Never really had that so I felt unlucky

Till an OG showed me that I really got lucky

My life could've been fucked up, it could've been mucky

I wanted to sovereignty of my soul and body

Used to wanna be the best MC

Now I just wanna be the best of me

I ain't perfect, just the best I can be

Used to want your approval

Now all that baggage in a van for removal

Floating around it's all business as usual

I want it for you too

But I guess you're gonna stick to what you're used to

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute

I used to want sweets and lollies

I used to want crisps and pop

I used to want bags and trolleys

I used to want drip and guap

I used to want sticks and shotties

I used to want chicks and thots

I used to want whips and rocks

I used to want the world and everything in it

Saw what they got and I had to chill for a minute
