Man I Used to Be

[K-os] I woke up in the morning I took a trip to the corner store That's when I heard my calling But I'd never heard the voice of truth before So I kept on walking Pretending I didn't see Walked by a window and my reflection said to me You could try all the same But you'll never know this mystery There's no pilot on your plane So you're not the man you used to be Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery When your pilot has no plane Said you're the man you used to be, seen [Oddisee] Losing sight of what matters Dimming my demeanor in the brightness of the flatter Enticing is the chatter of room filled with candor Replaced by fumes that conclude with the banter Moth to a flame and I couldn't hold a candle To what I use to be, to what I use to handle I use to be hungry appetite for respect And now I just expect people want something from me Service at the table that revolved in my favor Designated savior guess I'm picking up the check Developing a pallet for a rather bitter flavor The fruits of my labor at a price I won't fetch It cost me some friends, it cost me connects But they ain't even debt that I would see as regret But most men would, as I probably should but the man I am now ain't the man I recollect [K-os] You could try all the same But you'll never know this mystery There's no pilot on your plane So you're not the man you used to be Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery When your pilot has no plane Said you're the man you used to be, seen [Oddisee] Searching for the elements of how I came together I stumbled on some blame and bumped into whatever My disposition saying I don't give a fuck never But there was a few times when the armor got severed The walls came down, the skin wasn't leather And if you wanted to hurt me, the closer, the better My foes were, posing as a shoulder And as I went I to lean on, they let me fall over and those are The lessons that you when you're older It's harder to burnt once your heart becomes colder, a boulder But in return for your heart of stone It's harder to let your guard down when the problems gone, a soldier That keeps fighting when the war's done Forever ready for when more comes, yeah And im aiming at the mirror I might end up shooting me Don't recognise the man that I use to be Who's he? [K-os] You could try all the same But you'll never know this mystery There's no pilot on your plane So you're not the man you used to be Try all the game, but you'll never know this mystery When your pilot has no plane Said you're the man you used to be, seen Holla and ya holla, you follow you fall Ya holler and ya holla, you follow you fall Ya holler and ya holla, you follow you fall Ya holler and ya holla, you follow you fall Ya holler and ya holla, you follow you fall Ya holler and ya holla, you follow you fall Yo, Whatever I don't really know Flows like an immaculate gold what up, whatever
