Not Used To It

Typical story of an Oakland girl

Typical story heard around the world

Momma on her way, daddy up above

Out at fourteen, I guess it made me tough

Used to roll up on a block on the East Side, I

Crackin' up 40's by the seaside

Lose a **** 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 am not)

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

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

All single mothers in my family

Don't know if you're really understandin' me

Never seen a **** be a real man, I

Never seen a **** with a real plan

And I still never been to a wedding

And I still see my family stressin'

Over sons who grew up with no daddies

And every generation was all just raised on my granny, but no

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 used to it, I am not (I am not)

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

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

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

Hey yeah

'Cause I'm not used to it
