Artan - Used To lyrics

I used to be the one who
Always thought that he's the man
I used to tell the world that
It's all going to my plan
I used to think that sleep's the
Only time you live your dreams
I guess I used to be a used to
I used to hear them say "I'm
Always gonna hold you down"
But now you're down and out it's
Like they barely know you now
I used to think that loyalty
Was all I'd ever need
I guess I used to be a used to

I used to feel like I was trapped
Used to feel like I was broken
Had the world up on my back
I met Mary when I was fourteen
Nowadays I need to leave her
But I always had a vision
Nah I'm not just any geezer
I was waiting, diamond in the making
Minding conversation
Used to think that smiling comes
From money that you're making
Now I realise everybody's just been faking
And I used to work so hard
I'd lose my time and felt I lost my soul
I'd care about my reputation so much
That I lost my goal
I'd idolise somebody you would look at
And then cross the road
Used to think my friends were all my friends
But they forgot the code
Used to hop the barriers at
Harrow on the Hill
And I used to hit her phone when
I need somewhere I can chill
And I used to roll with twenty
Man cause that's just what appealed
But nowadays I like my company
And that's just being real

I used to be the one who
Always thought that he's the man
I used to tell the world that
It's all going to my plan
I used to think that sleep's the
Only time you live your dreams
I guess I used to be a used to
I used to hear them say "I'm
Always gonna hold you down"
But now you're down and out it's
Like they barely know you now
I used to think that loyalty
Was all I'd ever need
I guess I used to be a used to

Nowadays I try and not worry
When the dough comes
Some people work too much and never live
To me that's no fun
Used to wanna be like anyone, just not myself
Used to want another hand instead of
Playing the cards I dealt
I thought I'd need somebody
Just to be somebody
But nobody's gonna help you like yourself
Said I thought I'd need somebody
Just to be somebody
But nobody's gonna help you like yourself
I thought that I was breaking
Had to be awakened tears up in my eyes
Still I'm tryna see the light
My heart was full of hatred
All these altercations
I'm living life but I dunno if it's right
But that's okay
Cause I used to feel so broken
Nowadays I'm on the mend
And I'm learning if you're down and out
It might not be the end
I used to feel the love and
Now I know that it's pretend
I guess I used to be a used to

I used to be the one who
Always thought that he's the man
I used to tell the world that
It's all going to my plan
I used to think that sleep's the
Only time you live your dreams
I guess I used to be a used to
I used to hear them say "I'm
Always gonna hold you down"
But now you're down and out it's
Like they barely know you now
I used to think that loyalty
Was all I'd ever need
I guess I used to be a used to
