Not Used to It - Kehlani

Typical story of an Oakland girl

Typical story heard around the world

Mama on her way, daddy up above

Out of 14, I guess it made me tough

Used to roll up on a block on the east side

I crack enough 40's by the sea side

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

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

Over sons who grew up with no daddies and every generation

Was all just raised by my granny

But nah

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’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

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
