Protoje - Used To Be My Life lyrics

Used to be my life was
Just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and
Never really knowing why

(Used to be my life) full of herb concealing
Was just the feeling that I
Got from dealing in (Used to be my life)
That full of nuff risk taking
A lot of mistakes that made me
Put some breaks on what (Used to be my life)
Full up girls that cheating
And friends misleading
While the good ones leaving out
(Used to be my life) it used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

Chisel fell asleep underground
Deh under dirt, under grass me sunday pass
Cyaa figet him sunday mass
When dem play him underneath, under wreath


Him put me onto beats
I cyaa figet, the man respect
Plot my coordinates
Over instruments like pilots do
When di vision get blurry
I envision if curry must get
Him out in a hurry
Can imagine seh me best friend dirt day
At the same day as me sister birthday
It hurt me it mek me smile
It mek me cry happy seh one born
Me vex seh one gone
A 2 365 days since him gone
Then at 3: 55, 56 in the morning
When i carry to him graveside
And play for him pray for him
And this is what I say to him

I do it all for you it's for the few
Who got me through
When I thought I'd lose it now
When it was just my music and just my herbs
Mek me adjust my words
And give thanks not cursing now
And know seh life is so joyful
And hate is a ploy the devil
Cook up fi fight wi down
It used to be my life it used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

Used to be my life was
Just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and
Never really knowing why

(Used to be my life) full of herb concealing
Was just the feeling that I
Got from dealing in (Used to be my life)
That full of nuff risk taking
A lot of mistakes that made me
Put some breaks on what (Used to be my life)
Full up girls that cheating
And friends misleading
While the good ones leaving out
(Used to be my life) it used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

Mommy don't think I'll ever turn
My back on you i have respect for you and I
Will always cheer for you now
Though I smoke a lot more
Than you really like
At least is not no cigarette
Soon see the silver line
Around my cloud of smoke
You see how proud I look
To be exactly where I want and
With the road I took i educate my mind
It elevate my rhymes
I talk about my life and dat
Just lead to greater times
I smoke to clear my head
You know how much tears I shed
Watch all my peers a dead there
Must be greater days ahead
Dey affi be, Me haffi be
Happy seh me have it fi
Drop it any time any topic is a habit ting
Habiting trod up a me habitat
Decide fi increase the levels weh
Me drop it at i owe it to the music
You owe it to the music oh oh oh oh

I do it all for you it's for the few
Who got me through
When I thought I'd lose it now
When it was just my music and just my herbs
Mek me adjust my words
And give thanks not cursing now
And know seh life is so joyful
And hate is a ploy the devil
Cook up fi fight wi down
It used to be my life it used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

Used to be my life was
Just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and
Never really knowing why

Oh oh oh oh

It used to be my life
Was just emotions passing by, passing by
It used to be my life
Was just emotions passing by, passing by

(Used to be my life, Used to be my life)

Wah you seh? When me ready fi ride out, yeah
Weh ya do man?
