Tayyib Ali
Like I Used To
[Hook]
And I don't wanna do the things you do
And I don't wanna be the way you are (no, no)
And I don't even need to check my phone now
Cause I don't wanna see you anymore
I wanna be like I used to (like I used to but it got so old)
But it got so old (be like I used to)
But it got so old, old

[Verse 1]
Yeah, one's for the money
And two's for the shows
365 days, life on the road
I do it from the soul man, they try take the heart of it
Life good and this just the start of it
Left school, had to make it rapping (rapping)
Big dreams so I'm taking action (uh, uh)
I gotta get it for my self, trust nobody else
Cold world, deep breath, uh
Philadelphia is where they say I'm at
But since the Keystone I've been all around the map
Uh, now my ex tryna call a n***a back
But too busy grinding I ain't finding time for that
We sold out the show, drink all the rose
Decked out the clothes then head out tomorrow
And that's life, we party all night
And a young n***a balling Cause I can't live it twice

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Only 19 with a full grown vision
I'm tracing back what I did so it'll benefit in the end a
And this travelling weed and women got me big Benjamin spending
But I'm never off my grind, this paper I gotta get it
This life had my interest since I was like 10 shit
Prince of my city, shout out Will Smith
Philadelphia, born and raised
North side where I spent most of my days
With a dollar and a dream
Mobbing with my team
See me in the classroom, now I'm in the magazines
Been dreaming to look at me now they can't believe it
My life is a motion picture, I'm hoping you get to see it
Haters try CT like 203
And they ain't never gon' be shit, (nah_
Where we at? In the cut cause the grind pays
Get it in our ways, rhyming at the blink of my eyes my life changed

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
Remember day one? I been on my own since
And when I'm on, it's my n***as who I roll with
It's a good feeling everything that's happening
But sometimes I be feeling like they hating
Cause the club owners know us
Your homegirl know us
Your main man know us
They all say I blown up
If that ain't life then tell me what it is
All my n***as to the rear no fear

[Hook]

[Outro]
Sometimes things don't always go as planned (no)
But keep your head up, It's Ali
Keystone state of mind y'all
Swear to god I'm doing fine
We used to it

And all the things got so old
(yeah, yeah, got so old)
