Used To

[Verse 1] I used to want everything, all of it, y'all don't even know There's somethin' in the morals of the stories I was told I might've got stuck in the storms or the snow But I never got stabbed with a fork in the road I used to decorate my childhood with permanent markers I used to draw my cartoons on the cardboard Break dance in the front yard where we lived on the corner People used to honk their horns I used to scratch records tryin' to hear some hidden messages But now it seems like I couldn't care less for it But is the heart half full or half emptiness? Everybody died penniless I used to be a skeptic pluggin' up the pockets All I ever wanted was a little acknowledgment But now I'm tryin' to honor myself and put trust in the process As if it wasn't obvious, I haven't got a lot of options [Verse 2] I was so mixed up in it They told me that I could be the difference The evening sky ain't above my wishes But I'm still satisfied to go a mile a minute, come on I used to drive around my side of the town Turnt up with the windows down I came from a school of movin' around And when I do it now, I still play my music loud, come on [Chorus] Man, y'all don't even know I used to, I used to, I used to, used to, used to [Verse 3] I used to think makin' money was the answer I don't wanna struggle like my mom and dad had to I'm tryin' to stagger as much as I could possibly gather But it won't protect us from I used to believe in happily ever after Like anything less would've been a disaster It's another distraction to keep me from asking you To open the book to look past the last chapter I used to travel faster than the speed of laughter Tryin' to catch a Blondie with my rapture All factor, rusty dagger Wrapped up in a plain old cellophane wrapper I used to move like the government tracked ya But now I move like I drive an old tractor I wanna keep the future on my calendar Alive right now 'cause the used to doesn't matter anymore [Outro] It never did None of it matters, it never did It never didn't
