What Ya Used To
Rockie Fresh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really get it how I live, like this ain't what you used to
Somebody finna open up the door
Got the Louis on the floor like this ain't what you used to
A shorty says she wanna take a trip, got a pool take a dip
Like this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Racquetball without those gems, magic gets made when the lights get dim
And shorty ass fat but her waist real slim, might get a Evo or a X5M
Roll with the winners where the winters ain't cold
We chasing all the heat while we traveling the globe
Waking up to breakfast, got the Gucci on the robe
Been diamonds in the bezel like they cutting on the store
What you wanna do, you and your crew
You're coming through, come spend the night
You living right, might change your life
Money ain't a thing, I could clearly pay the price
And all real legends do the same thing twice
Got a DC ' bitch that loves to use the word slice
And every time I hit it then she wearing nigga ice
She said that we bad but I ain't taking her advice
I'mma keep rolling up and I'mma keep pulling up
Again got the car with the crib
Really get it how I live, like this ain't what you used to
Somebody finna open up the door
Got the Louis on the floor like this ain't what you used to
A shorty says she wanna take a trip, got a pool take a dip
Like this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
If I tell you that I got it then don't even doubt it
Talk about a come up cause the youngin' been about it
I could tell you 'bout the hustle cause I always been around it
Into every situation tried to get some ends about it
At 17 my bitch was 35, I had a vet
It's how I'm living and that boy ain't even made a check
They ask me how much would I put up on the placing bets
I would bet everything, I knew I'll always be a king
Shorty fell in love, it was just a fling
She be in the lab, show a nigga sing
Home girl hating on her, she might intervene
Back of my mind I'm just hoping that they do the team
Young niggas winning on this side, so in love but you'll never dig right
Again got the car with the crib
Really get it how I live, this ain't what you used to
Somebody finna open up the door
Got the Louis on the floor like this ain't what you used to
A shorty says she wanna take a trip, got a pool take a dip
Like this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
I say these hating ass niggas can't ruffle my fathers
Or touch on my leathers
Success is my mental, looking at all my endeavors
She poppin' it steady, I swear that I'm ready
To lock it down, give her life like she Martin and Eddy
They yelling young and the realest cause I show cold game
Tsunami all on these bitches, you niggas just make it rain
I'm taking trips to Japan, everything's stitched by the hand
My whole team on fire, nigga, NBA jam
Screaming HS87, HS87
Me and my youngins about that fetty, all about that fetty
Guap, lean or cheddar out the deli, get in line
We the shit, boy, coming lead a life with young Rodney and Hit-Boy, bitch
Again got the car with the crib
Really get it how I live, this ain't what you used to
Somebody finna open up the door
Got the Louis on the floor like this ain't what you used to
A shorty says she wanna take a trip, got a pool take a dip
Like this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Again got the car with the crib
Really get it how I live, this ain't what you used to
Somebody finna open up the door
Got the Louis on the floor like this ain't what you used to
A shorty says she wanna take a trip, got a pool take a dip
Like this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to
Nah, this ain't what you used to

We chasing all the heat while we traveling the globe
We're traveling around the world in search of hot weather
Waking up to breakfast, got the Gucci on the robe
I wake up to breakfast and wear a Gucci robe
Been diamonds in the bezel like they cutting on the store
Diamonds have been set in the watch's bezel just like they do in a jewelry store

Money ain't a thing, I could clearly pay the price
Money is not a problem for me, I can afford anything
And all real legends do the same thing twice
True legends repeat their successful actions
Got a DC ' bitch that loves to use the word slice
I have a woman from Washington D.C. who likes to use the word 'slice'

Every time I have sex with her, she wears my jewelry
She said that we bad but I ain't taking her advice
She thinks we're a great couple, but I'm not following her advice

I will continue smoking and driving around
If I tell you that I got it then don't even doubt it
If I say I have something, believe me and don't doubt it

They ask me how much money I would bet on a game
I would bet everything, I knew I'll always be a king
I would bet everything because I know I will always be successful
Shorty fell in love, it was just a fling
The lady fell in love with me, but it was just a casual relationship

She is a musician and shows me how to sing

Her friend is jealous of her and might try to mess things up
Back of my mind I'm just hoping that they do the team
In the back of my mind, I'm hoping that they support our team
Young niggas winning on this side, so in love but you'll never dig right
We're young and successful on our side, you're in love but you'll never succeed in the same way
I say these hating ass niggas can't ruffle my fathers
I'm not bothered by these hateful people's opinions
Or touch on my leathers
They can't touch my leather clothing
Success is my mental, looking at all my endeavors
Success is a state of mind and I'm proud of everything I've achieved
She poppin' it steady, I swear that I'm ready

My young friends and I are all about making money

Money, lean, or cheddar from the deli, get in line to get some
We the shit, boy, coming lead a life with young Rodney and Hit-Boy, bitch
