loptimist - like they used to lyrics

loptimist legendary ko
second time around
you know we’ve been in the
game for a minute
and there’s a lot of young
cats out there
that just can’t quite cut it
that just don’t have
what we used to have
it’s like this yo
don’t make em like they used to
you can’t make em like they used to
nah they don’t do it
like we used to
cause they don’t make em
like they used to
you can’t make em like they used to
don’t make em like they used to
yeah like they used to
say it again
they don’t make em
like they used to
back in 92 when i was
just another new dude
wet behind the ears
just here to get my crew through
sweat blood and tears
there’s nothing we wouldn’t do to
make a mark
swim in the middle of shark week
on any given night spent
hitting the concrete
big up the name till the game
was complete
a lot of big spenders in the end
who talk cheap
but little fish
in the pond got seasick
and ate the bigger fish now
it’s no more secret
the world couldn’t wait for
the debut street hit
didn’t take the bait had to
self release it
the dream wouldn’t end
it would only increase then
had a new cause we could
find belief in
nonstop 20 hour days were frequent
with no time to sleep and
gave up the weekend
fast forward three world
tours and counting
we put it on the line
trying to scale that mountain
it’s not something that you
really see any longer
whatever didn’t k!ll us only
made us stronger why
cause they don’t make em
like they used to
they can’t make em
like they used to
they don’t do it like we used to
they can’t make em like they used to
so let me be a little candid
nowadays you’re just getting
handed a standard
pre-approved and branded
watered down diluted
prototypical artist
charted out of a blueprint
it’s like nothing’s new under the sun
so when you get around to do
it’s done so maybe
you shouldn’t settle in and
do as you’re told
i’m an original they broke
the mold when they made me
i’m not old or new school
i’m mid school
none of these new dudes
have seen what i’ve been through
or been the places i’ve been to
or seen the potential
they’re missing on
the vital essentials
learn from the path i made
from the tracks i’ve laid
footprints like ants on parade
going through the motions
this ain’t no charade
ain’t no charade ain’t no charade
cause why
they don’t do it like we used to
nah they don’t make em
like they used to
they can’t get it like we used to
cause they don’t make em
like they used to
they don’t make em
like they used to
can’t make em like they used to
they don’t do it like we used to
can’t make em like they used to
