Used to Dream ft. Mark Battles Lyrics

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

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
