[Verse 1] Hey now take a look at you Hosed down in a million dollar suit But I knew you when that wasn't you I knew you when you had a clue Big man, driving a big car Funny how you can spin so fast so far I knew you when you was a star I knew when no one thought you were [Chorus] You cannot be who I thought you were Who I thought you were No, you can't be who I thought you were Who I thought you were I like you more when you're poorer Your new ID is a borer Come back here, you actin' like we owe ya Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were? [Verse 2] Last time I tried to call you up I couldn't reach you cause you were stuck so far up I knew you when you were just rude I knew I loved your attitude Five minutes, all that you got left Long way down, boy, I wouldn't hold your breath I knew you when you knew the time I knew you for your bottom line [Chorus] You cannot be who I thought you were Who I thought you were No, you can't be who I thought you were Who I thought you were I like you more when you're poorer Your new ID is a borer Come back here, you actin' like we owe ya Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were? [Bridge] Now you got a lot of gall Tell you frankly I'm appalled I know you know better Where you going on that ladder? Got all the girls runnin', they with you All of your lackeys they're thirsty and you are too Your enemies they tell you it's all fine I tell you better watch it walkin' a thin line Ask if I used to know you I don't know Cause these days it's like It's just like I never seen your face before [Chorus] You cannot be who I thought you were Who I thought you were No, you can't be who I thought you were Who I thought you were I like you more when you're poorer Your new ID is a borer Come back here, you actin' like we owe ya Are you ever gonna be who I thought you were? [Outro] Who I thought you were Who I thought you were Who I thought you were Who I thought you were
