about

She Used to Be is a cautionary tale about a young beautiful woman naïve enough to believe that her beauty will last forever.

lyrics

Chorus:

She used to be pretty she used to be ill
She was so drop dead that it was unreal
And it is unreal how she lost her appeal
The girl I used to feel I can no longer feel (x1)

Verse 1

Maybe I matured it’s true I grew up
So obsessed and engrossed with the chase I blew up
And forgot to see you but you were see through
So I ain forgot that’s just how we do
Cuz shit was strenuous you disingenuous
Dismissing my dreams get rich you then with us
That’s why that ain the case I cut you back then
That rut you back in is why you lacking
You used to have ass…seemed to have class
Your feminine fat on point and on task
A hall of fame chick became a lame chick
Had to check myself is this the same chick?
You’d walk and devastate they’d talk and propagate
That venomous hate at a generous rate
But when the beauty fades boy does the beauty fade
All she was was face tits ass and long legs

Chorus:

She used to be pretty she used to be ill
She was so drop dead that it was unreal
And it is unreal how she lost her appeal
The girl I used to feel I can no longer feel (x2)

Verse 2

So sad so melancholy a shame and all that
It’s gone you let it leave and you ain getting it back
The milk has been spilt what’s left regret and guilt
The stress and all the filth, a life that you built
One time so arrogant, then so ignorant
Used to do it big time now all you date is runts
A bunch of nobodies all get your body
Can’t believe I once feigned to get your body
My men say what a waste they lament oh what a waste
And you lack in aptitude so there’s no saving grace
On which to fall back you just fall back
In the day you was too pretty to fuck with all that
Now you’re used up, consumed and bruised up
The men you used to fuck with done move to new stuff
Some pretty young things now imagine that
I know back in the day you never imagined that

Chorus:

She used to be pretty she used to be ill
She was so drop dead that it was unreal
And it is unreal how she lost her appeal
The girl I used to feel I can no longer feel (x2)

Verse 3

Now everybody ages and that is a fact
Some women age gracefully some let they ass go to crap
And that’s where I’m at when I’m talking about you
Carried that soft beauty hard now you look like you’re through
Doing that hard, hard shit letting your guard down shit
You’d smoke and drink things that left you scarred and shit
Heard you was date raped and I was sorry to hear
He slipped you the GHB and now the night is unclear
A fucking date rape drug some cats deserve 8 slugs
But ma you didn’t change ya still out late in clubs
I’d call you enigmatic but naw you just an addict
Shit just happened so dramatic one week and you back at it
That’s the syndrome women become drones
So fast and furious can’t break the dial tone
Or the monotone shit’s broken at home
You used to be women better leave it alone

Chorus:

She used to be pretty she used to be ill
She was so drop dead that it was unreal
And it is unreal how she lost her appeal
The girl I used to feel I can no longer feel (x2)


She used to be she used to be
Girl this is from the heart so it’s truthfully
For you from me quit the nudity
Grow up and there’s not telling who you could be
