Used To Be Video (MV)

Cooling
I still roll around with the same squad from way back went to school with
Been over a decade with the
And it's lit 2023
I'm just getting started with life
No doubt
Not yet where I need to be
But I'm on the way now
I always say
I need to be working twice as hard as the next man
It's all part of life
No doubt
Got to know what you want before you make a plan
And then you got to stick to the blueprint
You sprint to finish fast
And if it ain't all that you hoped for
Double back
Start from scratch
I used to just be gone with the wind
Going with the flow
Call me Wavy Day
Life was always so good
Knew from a young age got to make an escape
But I ain't know anyone who made it out the same so I'm steady trying to pave the way
Always stayed quiet about the goal because I know actions speak loud anyway
Said I used to just be in the back of my classroom
Headphones in
Teacher talks while I blast tunes
No homework
A+ in my math room
Science with the homegirl
I wonder if we're still cool
And the cutest girls in the class want to know the kid's name
Sorry babe
I don't have the energy to play these games
Dudes brag to me how they're talking to the baddest dames
I'm happy for you bro but my guy we are not the same
See I'm going home eating half a plate so we all can eat
And I couldn't get a job until your boy was like seventeen
Seeing momma struggle always made me want to grit my teeth
So I did what I could but the rest wasn't up to me
Said I used to take time thinking about every move I make
Calculate the moves because I know the stakes
Calculate the steps because I know the trek is a long one and I can't afford missteps
On one thinking that I knew what's next
I was on two because more times I did
I would overthink it and it made me stress
And so I fumbled more bags than I care to admit
