The Brooks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You use to be good.. now ya so bad
what happened to the class ya had

Hungry ...
For such a long long time You been starving...
Think You missed your Callin
For such a long long time you been having that same issue..
What happened to you girl

You use to be good..
what happened to the class ya had
But Now you’re so bad
(But know that I love it)
So how you want a player to be
When I want what I see

4bar
Please don’t change
Awful things
Claim your fame


So if you’re into strange things
Like padded cuffs or metal ring tings
(Makes ya wanna Holla)
Listen to me, it’s all free..
No need in posting round the world from your phone

You use to be good..
what happened to the class ya had
But Now you’re so bad
(But know that I love it)
So how you want a player to be
When I want what I see

If you wanna change, I don’t blame ya
never give an inch, or let them shame ya
f you wanna change, I don’t blame ya
never give an inch, or let them shame ya


Blow ya horn man

Welcome to the new groove
Welcome to the new groove order ..
Yeah...
Welcome to the new world
With that old type thing... yeah

You use to be good..
what happened to the class ya had
But Now you’re so bad
(But know that I love it)




So how you want a player to be
When I want what I see
