I used to like, dickriding, bullshit
I used to like, patonizers and politics
I used to like, potheads and alcoholic kids
I used to like, Neil Young, Frank Zappa and the Beatles
I used to like music

I used to like using slang in all my sentences
I used to like spelling with with k's and z's in my penmanship
I used to like doing my b-boy stance
I used to like wearing triple x shirts and over sized pants
I used to like being put into groups and categories
Now I like my e-mail death threats and myspace beef
I used to like poetry slams till they found out I wasn't a lesbian or a liberal
So let all the hippies tap their glasses till I leave the stage
I'll be shooting my hip hop gun while the traditionalists tell me to act civil
We've been chasing our dreams in a mini-van letting our music steer
We probably came through your town but you were probably acting too hip-hop amused at yourself in the mirror, YO
I used to like reviews, but once their printed you're stuck with them
Me and AwareNess are music hip hop RAP
Whatever you want to call it
There's a thing called love
And it doesnt involve filling up your wallet
Mr. rich kid, mr. gang member, we werent brought up the same
So I'm sorry if my raps arent drenched in slang
Maybe I should try to write a fucken song without cussing (Biatch)
So we could perform at fairs and festivals
And if you don't like our music
Please direct your comments to Mr. T dash esticles
I used to have favorite emcees
Till they got popular, got money and got cool
And if things go write you'll hate us too

It's performing at shows with somebody there
It's putting your last drop of energy into a song and having everybody stare
It's patience, fate, longevity, aggression and letting the pen bleed
Man it's fucking bullshit and it's in me
Man it's fucking music and it's filled with envy

I used to like anti
I used to like people
I used to like music
I used to like smiles
I used to like anti
I used to like smiles
