[Chorus: Nico Spring]
It used to be late nights with Top Ramen
Nowadays I'm too drunk to leave Benihana’s
It used to be VIP with models twerkin
Nowadays it's the same shit with bottle service
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we’ll never be the same
[Verse 1: Nico Spring]
They used to say that I wasn't meant to live off music
Thеy used to tell me that my brain was somеthin' I ain't usin
Nowadays they hit me up and ask me how I'm doin
Nowadays they entertain themselves with my improvement
They used to never understand my motherfuckin' movement
They used to act like what I make, anyone could do it
Nowadays I'm makin' moves and they not movin
Nowadays I’m grown up, I put myself through it
They used to hate anytime I used auto-tune
They used to hate, but nowadays they tryna use it too
And nowadays I ain’t even usin' auto-tune
Nowadays they just hate on anything that’s new
[Chorus: Nico Spring]
It used to be late nights with Top Ramen
Nowadays I'm too drunk to leave Benihana's
It used to be VIP with models twerkin
Nowadays it's the same shit with bottle service
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we’ll never be the same
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
[Verse 2: K.E.V.]
I know you all remember how it used to be
Smokin' all day, just sleepin' waitin' to fade away
But a lotta gonna change, never wakin' up the same
Everybody wonder why I be different
I used to live beneath the trees beside a wild river
But now I'm a sippin' coffee on the west
Replayin' each day in my head, I'm spillin' out my past
My eyes blinkin' for a second, send a prayer to heaven
Bless the road ahead, I know to where my home is next
Bags packed I'm out the door just to switch it up
Every day the same thing until you've had enough
I used to whip a bowl of noodles through the whole weed
And nowadays I can't decide between the shrimp or steak
[Chorus: Nico Spring]
It used to be late nights with Top Ramen
Nowadays I'm too drunk to leave Benihana's
It used to be VIP with models twerkin
Nowadays it's the same shit with bottle service
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
[Verse 3: One Love]
Sometimes different paths lead to the same road
Three different people, three different homes
How we came together, I will never know
Was it destiny or somethin' else takin' hold
It used to be church every Sunday
Nowadays all my time is spent makin' money
It used to be I was focused on the finer things
Nowadays I'm just focused on survival, man
I'm used to life bein' full of letdowns
It used to seem like I was never makin' out
Nowadays L&G makin' people proud
We gonna make it out but the world ain't ready for us now
[Chorus: Nico Spring]
It used to be late nights with Top Ramen
Nowadays I'm too drunk to leave Benihana's
It used to be VIP with models twerkin
Nowadays it's the same shit with bottle service
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
It used to be how it used to be
Nowadays shit changed, we'll never be the same
