Can someone please identify this song?

Asked by weeveeship (4665points) April 7th, 2017

R&b song. Recently heard in KFC not that long ago. KFC mostly plays Billboard Top 100, so this one is probably also Billboard Top 100.

Lyrics are “I used…I used to know… ______(something he knew)_______”

Continues for a few lines, each time describing different things he (male singer) knew. There’s a hiphop like instrumental bridge at one point. I can provide the notes for that bridge if it helps.

Can’t quite catch all the details, but I think song is about growing up in the ghetto. Don’t think its a love song.

Help?

@zenvelo No it is not. Nice try though. (They play the Gotye song at KFC too, lol).

Do you remember any more lyrics? Some more details?
If you name some more lines, maybe we can find it in some lyric website.

No, but I can offer the tune. Here it is: (piano notes C = Do, D = Re, E = Mi, you know…)

C C C C D D

(I used…I used to know..)

C C D F E D C

(**he says what he used to know**)

Repeat 4 times or so

Bridge: D E D A G C D C

Probably not but I found this song by googling the lyrics and it’s pretty groovy.

Could it be The World I Used To Know by We Came As Romans?

Are you thinking of Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots?

Thanks, but its not any of the ones mentioned so far. Not being racist, but I think the singer was likely African American. Song’s style similar to r kellys I believe I can fly.
