[Intro]
Yeah
I hope they think about they used to know me
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Same boy who would come through faded with a old jean jacket, now I feel like I made it
And I haven't, but I'm closer than I've ever been
Livin' in the city that been cheering for the Lakers
Same kid who would post up late night, work until the morning
I was tryna get my cake right
Skatin' with my homies at the park till we too drunk
Talking 'bout life like "You win some, you lose some"
I ain't takin' no more L's
Imma do it all myself
Imma keep my shoes clean and Imma walk through hell
Imma shoot for the stars, and look down at the shells
Screaming "Fuck the world" cause I know sex sells

[Chorus]
I made it out of East Van, oh
I made it to the hills now, oh yeah
I couldn't seem to let that go
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh
I hope they think about the days they used to know me
[Post-Chorus]
They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me

[Verse 2]
Same guy that you met at the titty club way back when they didn't know me at all
I remember what my best friend said 'bout me in the scene; "They don't know who you are"
Then my shit popped off in the middle of the night, I was getting recognized in the mall
And I went out to tour to places in Europe I barely recall
Man I was drinking so heavy, my words were too slurred for them to understand it
Now I'm runnin' in Beverly Hills every morning and eating organic
The minute I landed I knew I was ready to kill it
The way I was feeling was "Uh"
Next thing I knew my unreleased records were playing inside of the club
I'm like "Fuck"

[Chorus]
I made it out of East Van, oh
I made it to the hills now, oh yeah
I couldn't seem to let that go
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh
I hope they think about the days they used to know me

[Post-Chorus]
They gotta think about when they used to know me
Used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
U-used to know me
[Verse 3]
Same boy who was taking the bus after riding my whip off of evading the cops
Same kid who would wrestle on TV with Luger and Bag, what, like twice every month?
Same guy who was hated on everyday, everyday, he would just barely hang on
Same kid who lived with the bikers when all of his bullshit finally got him kicked out his house
Man, I ain't going back, that's still painful
I'll kill 'em all till the city of angels really becomes the whole city of angels
Welcome to heaven I guess, tell all your friends they can have the address
Tell all the bitches to fuck with my ghost because the person I was before walked out the door

[Chorus]
I made it out of East Van, oh
I made it to the hills now, oh yeah
I couldn't seem to let that go
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh
I hope they think about the days they used to know me

[Post-Chorus]
Now they gotta think about when they used to know me
Used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me
