Used to Know Me

Yeah
I hope they think about they used to know me (uh)
Yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, uh)

Same boy who would come through faded with an old jean jacket
Now I feel like I made it
And I haven't, but I'm closer than I've ever been
Livin' in the city that been cheering for the Lakers
Same kid who would post up late night
Work until the morning, I was tryna get my cake right
Skatin' with my homies at the park, 'till we too drunk
Talkin' 'bout life, like "you win some, you lose some"
I ain't telling you no more else
Imma do it all myself
Imma keep my shoes clean
And imma walk through hell
Imma shoot for the stars
And look down at the shells
Screamin' "fuck the world"
'Cause I know sex sells

I made it out the East Van, oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I made it to the hills now, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh) I couldn't seem to let that go (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh (yeah)
I hope they think about the days they used to know me

They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me

Same guy that you met at the titty club
Way back when they didn't know me at all
I remember what my best friend said 'bout me in the scene
"They don't know who you are"
Then my shit popped off overnight
I was getting recognized in the mall
And I went out to tour to places in Europe I barely recall
Man, I was drinking so heavy
My words were too slurred for them to understand it
Now I'm runnin' in Beverly Hills every morning, and eatin' organic
The minute I landed I knew I was ready to kill it
The way I was feeling was (uh)
Next thing I knew
All my unreleased records were playing inside of the club
I'm like "fuck"

I made it out the East Van, oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I made it to the hills now, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh) I couldn't seem to let that go (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh (yeah)
I hope they think about the days they used to know me

They gotta think about when they used to know me
Used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
U-used to know me

Same boy who was taking the bus
After riding my whip after evadin' the cops
Same kid who would wrestle on TV with Luger and Bag
What, like twice every month?
Same guy who was hated on air-day, air-day
He would just barely hang on
Same kid who lived with the bikers
When all of his bullshit finally got him kicked out his house

Man, I ain't going back, that's still painful
I'll kill 'em all
'Till the city of angels really becomes the whole city of angels
Welcome to heaven I guess
Tell all your friends they can have the address
Tell all the bitches to fuck with my ghost
'Cause the person I was before walked out the door

I made it out the East Van, oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I made it to the hills now, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh) I couldn't seem to let that go (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I'm ever glad I did that, oh (yeah)
I hope they think about the days they used to know me

Now they gotta think about when they used to know me
Used to know me
They gotta think about when they used to know me
When they used to know me (used to know me)
