I used to be cool, I used to be fly, I used to be tough
Then I got tricked into thinking I wasn't enough
Then I start drinking and pretendin' to be 'bout some
What was I thinkin? Can't remember nights I was dumb
Just wanna be great, not tryna be fake
I feel all alone, dog, I'm not okay
Too much on my mind, Lord, give me a sign
Ain't got no more room, for someone to hate
I'm feelin' the heat, for me to compete
With my own ghost, I can't get no sleep
I got the receipts, I'm puttin' on cleats
I'm runnin' a route, to come back to me
It used to be cool, for me to believe
That I would receive, a heap of praise
Mess it up once, I feel like a dunce
Then you receive a heap of hate, a heap of J's
Get out my way, a watch for time
Gotta watch who I'm steppin' on
Tryna be upper echelon
Out of shape for a marathon
Run it up, who you bettin' on?
Is it me, just carry on
Big cuts like Barry Bonds
You wasn't ready for another song
So please believe I'm back to me
And actually, I hit the reset
And the folks who see me comin
They gon' treat me like a deep threat
I used to be cool, I used to be fly, I used to be tough
Then I got tricked into thinking I wasn't enough
Then I start drinking and pretendin' to be bout some
What was I thinkin? Can't remember nights I was dumb
I used to be cool, I used to be fly, I used to be tough
Then I got tricked into thinking I wasn't enough
Then I start drinking and pretendin' to be bout some
What was I thinkin? Can't remember nights I was dumb, so dumb
I used to be cool
I used to be fly
Used to be the one
They called that guy
I used to be three
Mr. one, two, three
I am everything she wants me to be
I used to be cool, I used to be fly, I used to be tough
Then I got tricked into thinking I wasn't enough
Then I stopped drinking and pretendin' to be bout some
What was I thinkin? Can't remember nights I was dumb
