I used to love you

I used to love you, would of gave anything to be in ur presence/first time I heard

You were on a TDK tape as a present/You was wit a tribe called quest gracing the hook with your sound/the way u moved in my ear, I knew that my love had been found/many

years I listened to u preach about the struggles of our people/ the injustices

we face, and how mental enslavements are lethal/u made the world see thru, even

when u were just being flashy/u still had a story to tell, u didn’t just rhyme and

gas me/this is who I fell in love with, ur beauty was all over my notebooks/every

line wit endless rhymes thru u i was inspired and wrote hooks/u were my queen, u

encouraged the streets that I've lived from night to dawn/i remember the first

time we talked and had a convo on my microphone/but now, somethings different

sumthings missing, u give no more substance/its like wen u speak nowadays ur

words no longer touches/my heart my soul, I don't even ask u to repeat ur

sentences/ur more flashy and the messages u give are more dimensionless/your

swag is off, yeah ur still gorgeous, but there's nuthin more than the looks wit

you/u let soft guys glamour ur life fashion this and they  cushion you/i

remember how u wud soar weneva I put the kush in you/now when I puff, its mase

on a gud day ur only big for two/your're no longer sacred, no privacy,your files

are all public/you go out your way to appeal to all pop,rock,and crunk shit/im

not sayin to be boxed in,but you basically lost all guidelines/you forgot about

your true lover,and left him watchin from the sidelines/i used to wake up to

your voice,brothers and cuzins had you hooked to the speakers/matching your base

to my pulse, that was juss one of your wonderful features/school tried to

seperate us, no ipod or electronical devices/so I used to sneak to hear you

speak, even If was caught, you sufficed it/to hear you I covered my ears with my

hoodie or ducked my head in my bag/sat in the back of the class, and if I had

math last, the volume was ready to blast/enough flashbacks,what happened to you,

do you know wat u caused?/your cuzin Raekwon to sell out and collab wit Justin

Beiber on a song/your uncle Snoop aint even bout it, he out wit Katy Perry/your

boy Jada's still gunna ride, But I kno the pressures heavy/since you let down

you standards, every nigga tryin to get with you/punchline rappers,guncrime

actors,there's no chance of fixin you/Hip Hop, she's dead, some wud argue like

dudes in the suits and the ties/But I'd rather she be dead, than to look this

stupid alive/So goodbye Hip Hop, goodbye my love, the gems you've gave I'll neva

lose it/no more artist,all 5 star chicks, your new name now is just Music
