Lyrics

[Letra de “Used To Be”]

[Intro]
Ah, ah
Mm-mm

[Chorus]
I used to be a hoe, but now I ain’t no more
Been swimmin’ through the water, now I’m back to shore
I look at who I did and I’m like, “Oh, my Lord”
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now l ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now I ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Una perra de raza muy dura de matar
Pero ahora soy mansa y ya no muerdo má’
Rompí mucho’ corazone’ y a mí no me lo rompieron
Pero ya yo no quiero, ‘toy tranquila y ya

[Pre-Chorus]
Andé por el mundo buscando placer, pero ya no queda na’, na’, na’
No discriminaba ni rico ni pobre, a todito’ le’ daba
Keep talkin’ ’cause I ain’t gon’ hear what you say
(Time to switch up energy)

[Chorus]
I used to be a hoe, but now I ain’t no more
Been swimmin’ through the water, now I’m back to shore
I look at who I did and I’m like, “Oh, my Lord”
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now l ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Now I ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Used to be one, but I ain’t no more

[Verse 2]
Una perra de raza muy dura de matar (Quem? Eu?)
Pero ahora soy mansa y ya no muerdo má’
Yo rompía to’a la’ camas, pero ya no hago reguero (Hago reguero)
Ahora para comerlo debe ser uno (Ah, ah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Andé por el mundo buscando placer, pero ya no queda na’, na’, na’
No discriminaba ni rico ni pobre, a todito’ le’ daba
Keep talkin’ ’cause I ain’t gon’ hear what you say
Time to switch up energy (Go)

[Chorus]
I used to be a hoe, but now I ain’t no more
Been swimmin’ through the water, now I’m back to shore
I look at who I did and I’m like, “Oh, my Lord”
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Now l ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
I used to be a hoe, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Now I ain’t no more, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
Used to be one, but I ain’t no more

[Outro]
Una perra de raza (Oh)
Muy dura de matar (Oh)
Pero ahora soy mansa (Oh)
Y ya no muerdo má’ (Oh)
Una perra de raza (Oh) Que isso, cara?
Used to be one, but I ain’t no more (Eu juro que eu era)
