Use To Be Lyrics - Meek Mill

1 [Chorus]

2 I use to be a use to

3 I use to be a use to

4 I use to be a use to

5 I used to grind in the dirt

6 I used to cry to 'til it hurt

7 I will look up to the heavens

8 When is my time gonna come

9 I use to be a use to

10 But I never got use to

11 Being what I use to, be

12 Said I use to be a use to

13 But I never got use to

14 Being what I use to be

15 I was never use to niggas that was use to

16 Being broke so I started selling coke

17 Times got hard was selling soap

18 Scheming just like the preacher in church he selling hope

19 Now I'm getting older, heart getting colder

20 Looking at my son while his head lay on my shoulder

21 Thinking in my head will I make it to see him grow up

22 Or will I catch a bullet from something these niggas throwing

23 Trying to take me out, in the hood trying to make it out

24 Niggas plotting on me cops all staking out

25 Trying to get a couple bricks so I can make a house

26 Close friends hating on me really trying to play me out

27 Damn, but niggas couldn't deal with me

28 If they had blackjack my shooters would still hit them

29 North side of Philly where it's real gritty

30 And dirty at where everyday they murder at

31 [Chorus]

32 When I was young I started planning it out

33 My daddy got killed I was the man of the house

34 By the age of 16 man them hammers was out

35 So when niggas trying to hit me I'm just handing them out

36 Cause I ain't trying to see my mom crying, and my sis mourning

37 So I'mma let this little Mac 11 rip on them

38 Louis Vuitton sneaks watch the blood drip on them

39 For all the times I bled the tears I shed

40 Every time I made money it was here I said

41 And if my niggas asked for it it was yeah I said

42 Selling butter just to get the fam bread I spread

43 I got married to the streets and it was here I wed

44 Cause I was never used to being what I use to

45 Started off walking now the Rolls Royce a coup too

46 I'mma let the top down every time I shoot through

47 To give them motivation even though I know they hating

48 [Chorus]

49 The man with the gold makes the rules

50 And one who makes the rules break the rules

51 Some niggas make it alive, some make the news

52 It's either family or money, I hate to choose

53 Cause you need money just to feed the fam, the family keep you cool

54 Got a nigga on the papers still I keep the tool

55 Niggas heard I'm getting money so they creeping though

56 I keep my hand up on that hammer what's for me to do?

57 Let these niggas kill me?

58 Try to line me up so they can rail me?

59 I'm just giving you the real me

60 Started with a dollar now I got it and I'm filthy

61 [Chorus]
