Like I Used To - Tayyib Ali

And I don’t wanna do the things you do

And I don’t wanna be the way you are

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

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

Big dreams so I’m taking action

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 nigga 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 nigga balling

Cause I can’t live it twice

And I don’t wanna do the things you do

And I don’t wanna be the way you are

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

Only 19 with a full grown vision

I’m tracing back what I did so it’ll benefit in the end 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 sh*t, nah

Where we at?

In the cut cause the grind pays

Get it in our ways

Rhymin' at the blink of my eyes my life changed

And I don’t wanna do the things you do

And I don’t wanna be the way you are

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

Remember day 1

I been on my own since

And when I’m on, it’s my niggas 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 niggas to the rear no fear

And I don’t wanna do the things you do

And I don’t wanna be the way you are

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

Sometimes things don’t always go as planned

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

Got so old
