[Hook]
I used to be the one who always thought that he's the man
I used to tell the world that it's all going to my plan
I used to think that sleep's the only time you live your dreams
I guess I used to be a used to
I used to hear them say "I'm always gonna hold you down"
But now you're down and out it's like they barely know you now
I used to think that loyalty was all I'd ever need
I guess I used to be a used to
[Verse 1]
I used to feel like I was trapped
Used to feel like I was broken, had the world up on my back
I met Mary when I was fourteen, nowadays I need to leave her
But I always had a vision, nah I'm not just any geezer
I was waiting, diamond in the making, minding conversation
Used to think that smiling comes from money that you're making
Now I realise everybody's just been faking
And I used to work so hard, I'd lose my time and felt I lost my soul
I'd care about my reputation so much that I lost my goal
I'd idolise somebody you would look at and then cross the road
Used to think my friends were all my friends
But they forgot the code
Used to hop the barriers at Harrow on the Hill
And I used to hit her phone when I need somewhere I can chill
And I used to roll with twenty man cause that's just what appealed
But nowadays I like my company and that's just being real

I used to think that loyalty was all I'd ever need

[Verse 2]
Nowadays I try and not worry when the dough comes
Some people work too much and never live, to me that's no fun
Used to wanna be like anyone, just not myself
Used to want another hand instead of playing the cards I dealt
I thought I'd need somebody just to be somebody
But nobody's gonna help you like yourself
Said I thought I'd need somebody just to be somebody
But nobody's gonna help you like yourself
I thought that I was breaking, had to be awakened
Tears up in my eyes, still I'm tryna see the light
My heart was full of hatred, all these altercations
I'm living life but I dunno if it's right, but that's okay
Cause I used to feel so broken, nowadays I'm on the mend
And I'm learning if you're down and out it might not be the end
I used to feel the love and now I know that it's pretend
I guess I used to be a used to
