What It Used to Be Lyrics by Nicolay

Here

2006

[Intro: Wiz Khalifa]
Pittsburgh
Let's go
Wiz Khalifa, yeah!
Let's do it
412... yeah
[Hook: Wiz Khalifa & ("Wake Up Everybody" sample)]
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
[Verse 1: Wiz Khalifa]
Let me start from the beginning at the top of the list
Can name every nigga out, but they ain't poppin' likе this
I cruise slow, move low, niggas watching the kid
Cos thе moves that I make will probably stop in your brid
But you can't blame me, cos I don't wanna be broke
I'm legendary with the flow, you's a wannabe hoe
Doing my thing, late nights tighten the dough
Get right, track a dutchie down, sprinkle a dro
Shit changed if you think of it, bro, the same thing
But instead of chasing the dough, they gangbang
Tote Glocks, post on the block and slang 'caine
And die over records, he wanted the same thing
They letting them thangs ring, little kids locked up
Doing everything it take to get they wrist rocked up
He only hustle for the fam, plus his bitch knocked up
Cops don't care, you get caught, you in them cuffs
Shit is crazy
[Hook: Wiz Khalifa ("Wake Up Everybody" sample)]
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
[Verse 2: Wiz Khalifa]
See, I sat back for a major part of my life
Honing my craft, listening to all the advice
Old heads told me "hustle hard, cakin' it right
And everything you make, take it in stride"
Niggas hating on me now like I ain't have a lil dough back then
Hoes sayin' I spit the sickest flow back then
We can go back then (back then), man you ain't ready for war
Come at the ball, and your skull cracked in
And most guys figured they nice but so trash and
Fuel prices way too high, so don't gas him
I ain't riding next to you lames, I blow past 'em
Fly by, blowing that haze, the pros ask him
Where's "What It Is", why you smoke so much
And how you such a young nigga but you know so much
Still in my teens, but a nigga wrote so much
Cos I'm tired of seeing all my fam broke so much
[Bridge: Wiz Khalifa]
I can't tell you how it used to be
But this year, shit, yeah, you'll get used to me
Come on!
[Hook]
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
(The world has changed so very much)
Yes!
(From what it used to be)
And we can talk about (what it used to be)
But everything ain't (what it used to be)
That's why I stay on my toes, you know
[Outro: "Wake Up Everybody" sample]
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
What it used to be
What it used to be
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
What it used to be
What it used to be
