I Used To

Now let me tell you all the things that I used to
I used to do a lot things that most dudes do
Like partying just to fit in with the cool crew
giving in drinking and acting like a fool too
i wanted to get the money like bookoo
so I could holler at the girls kind of like yoo hoo
But all they did was holla back like Who you?
All I did was wanna rap so I'm like who knew
I'd be where I'm at but that's what God do true?
I could take you way back to middle school too
I used to the dude who would kind of act coo coo
Fighting after school with these fools who I knew who
Was always in trouble breaking all the rules too
I spent a couple years behaving like a fool too
Shed a couple tears trying to make it through to
Find someone that cares but it was you who

(Now a days) you see I just won't do what they just want to
cause I just won't do that
(they think it's strange) that I just won't do what they just want to
cause I just won't do that
(they're amazed) that I just won't do what they just want to
cause I just won't do that
(cause I've changed) see I just won't do what they just want to
cause I just won't do that

I used to do my own thing
Live my own way now it was so strange
Nowadays I done seen it so change
I seen it so plain that you have so came
plus you took me from pain
And took me from hate now with all that you gave
And I was back in those days
I was acting so lame when I was acting those ways
see I was saying your name
but I said it in vain for that I'm so shamed
And yet you love me still same
kind of insane how you took the whole blame
now I was just a no name
had nothing no claim but then my soul changed
its all lost no gain
I've lost all claim this is all im gone say that its..

so wait I've gotta tell you what I do now
And I stay high but it aint from the brew now
same guy but I got a different view now
A changed life plus a whole different crew now
I can't lie cuz my whole life is new now
Got a changed mind on what I pursue now
Its straight wild and it's all cuz of you now
I don't do just what I used to do now
And it's all cuz you just came through now
And the walls that I had up you just blew down
And it's all cuz your love that I'm new now
I can call and ya come so true now
Took the pieces of my life that I threw down
my eyes beheld a new sight I saw you now
every chance on the mic I'm telling you now
it was Jesus the Christ you get it dude now
