TQ: Used to

[Talking] For my real homies That remember what they used to Used to be the one I looked up to (A lot of people these days) Tell me what the hell done happened to you (Given opportunities take them for granted) And now you cant even come around (So this one right here) I bet you think about it on your way down (Just exposure homeboy) We was nothin but little boys But you was about 2 years older Spending most of our time in trouble and Listening to my mama straight scold us Be in the house before 7:30 Go take a bath cause you're dirty And put some more greens on your plate We walked to school every morning Scrappin with the niggas on the corner And still we're never late Used to write rhymes in the classroom Rock shows in the bathroom (I charge a dollar) You wanted to be like Ice Cube I wanted to be like Iceberg Slim Remember how we made them holler Being a rap singer is all you talked about You got a record deal I got kicked out I saw your video couldn't believe You was the same nigga did bang with me And didn't look like you used to ride like we used to [Chorus] Used to be the one I looked up to Used to be the one I wanted to be like Tell me what the hell done happened to you Used to know you when you slanged in the street life And now you cant even come around Used to be my homie now you act like you dont know me I bet you think about it on your way down Remember the things you're used to Had the nerve to come back to the neighborhood After all these years (I had to keep the homies off of you) Cause they sons in the school house trippin tryin to be like you And its costing valuable time in they lives and mine Thinkin that the only way you hot is if you rappin about the money you got Nigga please you didnt always have cheese Remember me I used to be with you Used to slang weed in the street with you Split the G with you And I always believed in you But now you switched up you on channel 2 Is them grindstones glued to your shoes? Danced around lookin like a fool with your lip pierced Dont you ever try to come around here You a disgrace The real you done got misplaced Give me your neighborhood pass Would you wack that ass [Chorus] Used to be the one I looked up to Used to be the one I wanted to be like Tell me what the hell done happened to you Used to know you when you slanged in the street life And now you cant even come around Used to be my homie now you act like you dont know me I bet you think about it on your way down Remember the things you're used to Whos to blame for the shame on what people do for fame To have a name in the game No love for the music Remember Marvin used to do it This shit meant something and you knew it (And we knew it damn we blew it) These days we only wishing For top position and doin anything to get them What the hell wrong with them Forgot about the blues and the rhythm And thats why I keep on dissin and representing like I used to [Chorus] Used to be the one I looked up to Used to be the one I wanted to be like Tell me what the hell done happened to you Used to know you when you slanged in the street life And now you cant even come around Used to be my homie now you act like you dont know me I bet you think about it on your way down Remember the things you're used to [Chorus] Used to be the one I looked up to Used to be the one I wanted to be like Tell me what the hell done happened to you Used to know you when you slanged in the street life And now you cant even come around Used to be my homie now you act like you dont know me I bet you think about it on your way down Remember the things you're used to Used to be the one I looked up to (Yeah for the ones who stayed real) Tell me what the hell done happened to you (did they thing) And now you cant even come around (And still remember what they used to) I bet you think about it on your way down (Yall know the ones I'm talking too) Used to be the one I looked up to Snoop Dogg Stay real Tell me what the hell done happened to you DJ Quik stay real And now you cant even come around E-40 Stay real I bet you think about it on your way down Mary J.
