Classified, Mic Boyd - Use to Be lyrics

Man, remember tape cassettes?
Tape cassettes?! I remember goin
Into record stores, gettin so excited
For that new album, you know?
When you got it
Is was like nothin else mattered
Oh yeah, yeah, I guess
You had to pay for that shit yeah man
It's not like that anymore
Kind of feel, kind of feelin like damn
When they used to say they don't
Make music like they used to
(The way it used to be)
No, I see what you're sayin man
I see what you're sayin
Check this out, look, yeah what you got?

My, my, my, my dad says they don't make
Music like they use to
And nowadays there ain't no record
Store to root through
We upload and then we viewin it on YouTube
Digital to Bluetooth
I see why that confuse you this day and age
Shit it's hard to tell who's who
So many artists
Every week you hear a new group
Maybe it's me or possibly I got a screw loose
A raisin short of two scoops but
We don't do what you do (do, do)

Now now now nowadays when I turn on the radio
(yeah) it's like they take the same old
Song and play it out (true)
Might be your favorite now but hate
It in a day or so here today, gone tomorrow
That's how the saying goes
The oldies were timeless and classic
(that's right)
Music now is models and actress (ah naw)
Who we pay to ogle they asses (yeah)
Never liked metal but still
Prefer it to plastic

My dad says they don't make
Music like they use to
(Oh, no they don't, no they don't
No they don't)
And my crew says they don't make
Beats like they use to
(Oh, no they don't, no they don't
No they don't)
You know what I I think? It's just
The music that I'm use to
(It's what I'm use to, it's what I'm use to)
I need my headphones louder, louder
Louder, louder, louder, louder, louder
Louder

Drum machines with touch screens
This must be the future
One man band all recorded on computer
Cubase, Cakewalk and Pro Tools users
Filtered effects and overused Auto Tuners
(If you can't hit the note)
Then hit a switch
Artists can't get the pitch and end up
"singing like this"
Sounds like robots are takin our jobs
While these same record labels keep
On payin 'em off

Now have you ever thought about the old
Records we were proud to play (yeah)
And if you heard them for
The first time nowadays? (yeah)
Would we give the same props
Same amount of praise? (nope)
I highly doubt it eh
It'd probably sound out of date (yeah)
Or maybe life nowadays kind
Of cloud our taste (yeah)
And hearin old tracks takes us
Back around the way (woo)
Yeah, still soundin great, off to outer space
Without a trace
Leavin eardrums bent out of shape

My dad says they don't make
Music like they use to
(Oh, no they don't, no they don't
No they don't)
And my crew says they don't make
Beats like they use to
(Oh, no they don't, no they don't
No they don't)
You know what I I think? It's just
The music that I'm use to
(It's what I'm use to, it's what I'm use to)
I need my headphones louder, louder
Louder, louder, louder, louder, louder
Louder

Yeah, the records that I play
(back in the days)
You know the clothes that I wear
(back in the days) haha, hey yo people!
When? (Back in the days when I was young
I'm not a kid anymore)
