doyen trey - used to be lyrics

(verse 1)
aye, aye, let me tell y’all who i used to be
at the moment that they read d’wayne eulogy
some type of demon powers let loose in me
friends and family ain’t realize that they was losing me
depressed, and couldn’t no one notice the diagnosis
everyday sweat and tears going all through the motions
went from straight as to straight fs cause i wasn’t focused
they said the only thing to save me was hocus pocus
yeah i needed magic, a lost cause tragic
traumatized, the thought of cheetos made my stomach backflip
tantalizing teachers not working my only tactic
didn’t care about failing or dying had no p-ssion
then i started rapping and they called me trash
my only motivation so i could get inside my bag
was proven others wrong anytime they tried to drag
make me feel glad when i hit em with the tag
somehow i couldn’t help but feel like i’m inferior
it’s a smile on my face suicidal interior
and i ran a long race tryna beat that delirium
then i went and caught a case cause i met the criteria
black male in his teens? hurry for he get chance to make it
keep him till he grown so that cell is his only placement
brought my grades up so i could stay all up out they faces
knew i could do better so i started to lose my patience
1250 sat score bars got clever
wayne county on my neck but i beat that pressure
slowly move an inch i ain’t need that measure
and i thought they was lying when they said things get better

i literally had to teach myself to not let my struggles and my hardships define who i am as a person. you sit back and you find the calm in the chaos and remind yourself it’s cool not to be perfect

(verse 2)
i, i ain’t the same person that i used to be
and truthfully y’all should probably get used to me
cause you can be in a spot where you losing me
and it’ll hurt like losing precious jewelry
feeling c-cky can’t stop me i feel rocky i know
or just like gandhi and johnny test and his sisters the show
you call me trash when listening with yo posse i know
then you probably gone try to copy it’s sloppy as joe
i been testing different styles tryna see if it work
and you been testing on my patience anytime you can blurt
i ain’t tripping off no words quickly can get you hurt
in 5 seconds i’ll rule you’ll be eating the dirt
the first verse i said tag ain’t it funny cause i’m it now
listen to me switch styles, you ain’t with it sit down
never in the middle, figure out the riddle
just to make it simple, cleaner than a whistle
earned my stripes now i’m a referee
these little rappers ain’t gone never get the best of me
if you act up i got weaponry
and get you sat down don’t be testing me
only out of self defense because that’s something i know better than
but i never been stupid know that i’m a veteran
if we measuring notice that i got the leverage
cause i keep moving on up like the jeffersons
progressing in yo life is necessity
especially if you tryna make a legacy
i’m a rook and they shook cause i cook with no book and i never had to look up the recipe
i’m gone
