BandPlay - Used To Be lyrics

[Intro] [Hook: West Hustle Man] Used to post on the block and sell dope Running up the clocks we didn't know (But sh** ain't how it used to be) Remember days playing broke Praying that my day didn't go slow (But sh** ain't how it used to be) I hustle to get my folks' out the slums These young n***as want bodies on they guns (But sh** ain't how it used to be) I know real rec. real, these 80s babies gonna feel how I feel (But sh** ain't how it used to be) [Verse 1: West Hustle Man] Well respected amongst k**ers and bosses Sometimes we sat around taking bout k**ers and losses Lost a hundred on the road An onion on the stove And the dope gang will turn a good guy like Niko And sh** ain't how it used to be I paid 20 than 23 then they started losing me I ain't never had no quit in me I started moving green Then they snatched my n***a C I gotta be up on my seed I gotta keep it realer than most I still sleep with my toast Can't put no trust in no hoe That's how I came in the door screaming I f 2-0 And even though I'm a great player I still listen to coach And my OG taught me everything Never speak listen to everything Hunnid pounds off in that chevy thing Up a T and shoot with the mid range jumper Same plug on the loud Loyal spending 9 summers [Hook: Starlito] Dope boys used to hate taking pictures Internet will put them people in your business (But sh** ain't how it used to be) Remember nights no cash Praying that tomorrow I bounce back (But sh** ain't how it used to be) I'm rapping cause I don't want a case These young n***as want tear drops in they face (But sh** ain't how it used to be) Real recognize real, these 80s babies gonna feel how I feel (But sh** ain't how it used to be) [Verse 2: Starlito] Sometimes I get high and just reminisce With my n***as get so lit I don't know how I remember sh** Now I'm into b**hes with benefits Take it back when I was in the bricks With n***as that was getting bricks We was on tour buses no tour On the run on the road yeah Now my whip and watch yeah they both newer Streets love a n***a when this coke pure And you front n***as But they'll front on you when you going through it I ain't try to f** the n***a girl sh** we both knew her How was I supposed to know he was close to her I thought we was homeboys Yeah but we both thought I was taught, never put a hoe before your dawgs Sometimes I come across as a know it all Some things I don't know at all Like if the police involved then no sir I don't recall That's just my protocol Real n***a prototype Ain't no more my type They just won't know the ride And I still move in silence All I know is surviving, that's the code I abide by No codefendant no cosign Live life there's no tomorrow Just don't stop grinding Never been patient Granny used to say just take your time Never give statements If you catch a case just take your time Cashville I'm in a whole other state of mind Looking for it because I can't rewind Thankful I'm alive [Hook: West Hustle Man & Starlito] Used to post on the block and sell dope Running up the clocks we didn't know (But sh** ain't how it used to be) Remember nights no cash Praying that tomorrow I bounce back (But sh** ain't how it used to be) I hustle to get my folks out the slums These young n***as want bodies on they guns (But sh** ain't how it used to be) Real recognize real, these 80s babies gonna feel how I feel (But sh** ain't how it used to be)
