used to be
(chorus) this is 4 the brothers all around the nation
it couldnt be a question or a standin notation
i want u 2 know what im all about
here it comes,so yall watch out
everybody shout
i used to be alone and a sneeky fool
but now im rockin a mike and it sounds real cool
i used to be poor and all alone
but now ive got a friend and im never at home
i just told u what im all about
so dont frown
give me a call or a shout out
(chorus)
this is not a fantasy or a prophecy
its my final destination my own destiny
i never wanted that or anything else
but im stuck with the truth and nothin else
yo
(solo)
i used to be like that
i never fought back
id run away and hide away
but now its my destiny to be
i never looked at it that way but now im here to stay
and thats what i say
