"Used To Me" lyrics
(feat. Dee-1)
Uh
Yeah
Yeah
Bad Combination
You got too used to me
That's why you only celebrate who I used to be
Once you winnin', they forget about the losin' streak
Why you whinin'? That just sound like an excuse to me, grind hard
I'm at war with myself and I ain't duckin' the smoke
Cravin' acceptance had me duckin' evolution and growth
And I know many nights when I struggled to cope
The dopamine from the likes and comments gave me hope
And I know that nothing's forever, when I have to, I'll go
But when my time's up, I don't wanna be the last one to know
Actually, though, was far more passionate 'bout rap when I was broke
But what's an artist with no audience to pack out the shows?
Addicted to admiration, yeah, I like bein' liked
But it's likely if I evolve, they won't like me despite
The fact I'm sheddin' layers, so I'm sayin' prayers
The stuff the old me glorified, I don't care
To even be associated with it, had to pivot
Distance myself from it even though I can't forget it
Hate that I don't love it even though I make a living
Losin' my identity 'cause, no, this ain't an image
Take back the power, David, don't make it complicated
Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated
To live stagnated, we been indoctrinated
But now I'm educated, brain emancipated (Yeah)
Teach you how to evolve, 'fore you walk, you learn how to crawl
Stand tall, but you gotta fall
But you can't give up on yourself, nah, not at all
I am not my former self, nah, not at all, sorry, y'all
You got too used to me
That's why you only celebrate who I used to be
Once you winnin', they forget about the losin' streak
Why you whinin'? That just sound like an excuse to me (Uh)
You got too used to me
That's why you only celebrate who I used to be
Once you winnin', they forget about the losin' streak
Why you whinin'? That just sound like an excuse to me (Uno)
On a mission to conquer all of my demons while I'm still livin'
My vices feel like a real prison
I'm still wishin' for better conditions in this broken system
Where people pay for attention, my ego needed redemption (Lito)
I took some L's, believe me, it get expensive
Still a creature of habit, in need of an intervention
I was the rapper you could tell was spittin' his life
Now I'm never dimmin' my light, yeah, I'm relevant, real, and righteous
Eloquent wisdom heightens what's revealed in these writings
Trusted my gut, I pray that I never feel indecisive
Watchin' the cyphers and never gettin' invited
Intelligence really frighten, celebrity's not enlightened (Nah)
We eatin' good, so we get extra love
But they don't know all the dinners I missed to make it to the Breakfast Club (Yeah)
And I ain't doin' this just because
I freed my mind, tryna liberate the rest of us, Lito
You got too used to me
That's why you only celebrate who I used to be
Once you winnin', they forget about the losin' streak
Why you whinin'? That just sound like an excuse to me (Uh)
You got too used to me
That's why you only celebrate who I used to be
Once you winnin', they forget about the losin' streak
Why you whinin'? That just sound like an excuse to me, Uno (Uh)
Lito
Yeah
Yeah
