Not Used To It

Typical story of an Oakland girl

Typical story heard around the world

Mama on her way, daddy up above

Out at 14, I guess it made me tough

Used to roll up on the block on the east side

I crack enough 40's by the seaside

Lose a nigga every week to a drive-by

Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes

I, I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'

But when I say it's hard to open up to you

It's hard to get close to you

I want it with everything in me

To one day just say I'm in love with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day[Verse 2]

All single mothers in my family

Don't know if you're really understanding me

Never seen a nigga be a real man

I never seen a nigga with a real plan

And I still never been to a wedding

And I just see my family stressing

All the sons who grow up with no daddies in every generation

Was all just raised on my granny but now

I, I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'

But when I say it's hard to just side with you

It's hard to confide in you

I want it with everything in me

To one day just say that I ride with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day

One day, one day, one day[Bridge]

Sometimes I pop off 'cause it's all that I'm used to

Sometimes I pop one 'cause I have to

Sometimes I run from all my problems

Sometimes I make sure that I solve 'em

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common

But I'm not used to it

But I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (Baby, yeah)

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (Baby, I'm sorry)

I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not, I'm not)

Yeah, yeah, one day, one day, one day, one day

Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, 'cause I'm not used to it
