It's been awhile since I've graced the stage
Allow me to now turn the page, I got a story for you
It's about a young R.e.D writing rap songs at seven-teen, boy he was trollin on ya
I would rap about reppin the school, thinking it's cool, not really spittin, more of a drool
Now I'm 26, nothing new up in the mix
Still trying to chase the crown like a young K Rool
But really doe, the bars got a little bit better
Not by much, but the lines got a little bit clever
Not by much, but now I'm making a point
Not making a movie but tryin Spike Lee joints
What I mean by that is now I got a film degree, I'm educated right?
Not exactly, the brain still tight
But before when I rap, it used to be about some shit
Now I think about a song and act like I'm a young T.I.P. Heeeeey

I know this ain't the type of shit you used to
That you used to. That you used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to
When i see you now it's somebody I used to
That I used to. That I used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to

I used to be a half of a team, now it's only R.e.D., rely on no one but me
Used to be about bringing all the old school back
Now I'm trying it to make it rock like if I smoked that crack
Now I'm trying to make you jump, like they did to A Fleck
I'm just trying to do it big so you never forget
Or you might forget, but out of nowhere you remember
That young Mexican spitting heat like it's ember
You might listen to the Tribe and then remember the time
You hit the local showcase and heard that Check the Rhime
By that short jumpy nerd and mustachioed man
Now I gotta do it solo, B.T.C ain't the clan
Well it was at one time, then we all grew up
But no hard feelings dog, man it's all nothing but love
I done lost a couple homies, but the end of the day
There's only one to be king and his name Ray, that's what I say. Hey

I know this ain't the type of shit you used to
That you used to. That you used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to
When i see you now it's somebody I used to
That I used to. That I used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to

I used to have the love of my life, about 3 months away, almost made ya my wife
But it didn't go like that, didn't understand then
But everything comes around, like a ro-ta-tion
Everything really does happen all for a reason
Couldn't figure out at first, bro was taken a beaten
But when I came out at the end, damn it all made sense
You can't make a sharp sword without causing some dents
You can't really know why until all unfolds
You can't get to the summer not enduring the cold
So last year yeah my shit went upside down
But now the rollercoasters moving and I'm back on the ground
Getting ready for the upside, all past behind, nothing in my rear
I'm looking nothing but fo
But it's been a damn real ride, now it's hop off time
Gotta change it up to get to reaching my goals like whoooooa

I know this ain't the type of shit you used to
That you used to. That you used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to
When i see you now it's somebody I used to
That I used to. That I used to
I'm just tryna do it better than I used to
Than I used to. Than I used to
