| 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 can’t 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
|
| 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 can’t even come around
|
| Used to be my homie now you act like you don’t 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 it’s 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 didn’t 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
|
| Don’t 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
|
| 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 can’t even come around
|
| Used to be my homie now you act like you don’t know me
|
| I bet you think about it on your way down
|
| Remember the things you’re used to
|
| Who’s 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 that’s why I keep on dissin and representing like I used to
|
| 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 can’t even come around
|
| Used to be my homie now you act like you don’t 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
|
