Used to Be

Lyrics

Weeks in New York years at a time Hoping one can change my life Rolling the dice fingers intertwined Want my advice but good luck this could take a while It ain't, how it all used to be Can you, tell me what's been happening Speaking my thoughts Deep in the crowd it's freaking me out They if life is like a party then their speakers too loud In my head getting overwhelmed with reason and doubt It's like I think 'bout something long enough and get whittled down Not Dorothy, evеry road ain't yellow brick for me And I can only make it homе if I can tap your shoes Thoughts getting scarier nothing gon' prepare you for Finding out that everyone has a struggle too Ooh ain't seen the man who raised me years, still miss him Kept away by my solemn mission, my hallowed vision My souls balancing out my optimism And I almost made it far enough, now I have to get it Led by a string and held by a rope Labels saw me sing then caged up a goat Finally breaking free, almost lost all hope One day we'll see everything that glitters is golden All my friends are like legends untold, I Count the seconds til' everyone knows, I Filled my circles with achievers, hustlers, and tired souls It's harder flying and falling and getting up and We're all in the same boat Swapping the same roles Hit with the same waves Half of us going over You could quit while you're ahead Not get to quit when you get told to And I rather create til' I'm too old to Tall mountain to climb, problems to scale Miss my Momma told her I'd be back in a couple of years And man I probably should've been abundantly clear To make any dream happen is blood sweat and tears It ain't how it all used to be Can you tell me what's been happening
