[Verse 1]
I used to listen to B.I.G
I used to listen to Pac
Everybody chose sides but I didn't get caught
There's no division in mind
If I dig it, I'm rocking it
Used to lifted them pockets the music lifted my thoughts
Sky high
Mr. popular not
Used to make friends with squares if their sister was hot
Used to piss in a pot
Flush the water and watch
The shit comin' outa pipes just a couple of blocks
Across streets where we used to flock
Now a new generation played demand and supply
Used to talk using numbers on our pagers for letters
I guess that you could say that we the ones invented text messages
And heads less desperate threads
And they try to turn your dollar into fifteen cents again
Used to conversate to try to make sense of it
Now we tough talk heads straight behind the internet
Used to fight bare knuckled after school
Now everybody acting cool, acting a fool
We used to care
Now we just carry what we're used to
It's rare tryna find that voice that will move you
Ask me again and I'll tell you the truth, dude

[Chorus]
It's cool, but it's not what I'm used to
It's cool, but it's not what I'm used to
(Uh, huh) I remember when that shit was new

[Verse 2]
Used to see leaders go against the stat quo
They took care of that with the con intel pro
Used used to sniff Jay used to sell blow
And both played a role in the return of the snow
Used to know all the lyrics to the radio tunes
Fuck a rap attack back when I listed to Cube
I was late hearing Common but I listened to Q
And I can't front he killed em' on The Bitch in Yoo
If you make it
Don't forget us Like they used to
They didn't think shit would every come true
Though its new though
They outnumbered by them dude bros
Old soul, new clothes
Never had a dope flow, still don't
Everybody getting fucked
Red, white, and blue dildo
You spent it, You still broke, I'm chill though
I just wanna make music
And bring back that feeling that you felt when you felt
Someone else stay true to themselves
I miss that too
Past and present through this tattoo
Now, everybody running round like that's cool
And, uh, that's cool
And, uh, that's cool
I'm like, "uhh, its cool,"
But its not what I'm used to

[Chorus]
It's cool, but it's not what I'm used to
It's cool, but it's not what I'm used to
(Uh, huh) I remember when that shit was new
