The Making of Used To Me
Not everyone deserves access to you — and learning that changes everything.
Halfway through making the deluxe, something felt off.
The project had direction, but it was missing a certain energy.
Then, out of nowhere, a producer from the Philippines named WavyAstro — who had worked with August before — reached out and sent a beat pack.
One of the beats stood out immediately.
It was titled “Could’ve Been You.”
August sent it to Nitty, and Nitty didn’t hesitate — he wanted it.
Astro adjusted the beat to fit them, and on March 25, 2026, the record came together.
August talks about outgrowing meaningless connections and realizing there’s more to life than temporary validation.
Nitty talks about protecting his energy and refusing to let people use him the way they once did.
LYRICS
[Hook – NittyGritty]
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
Please don’t abuse my heart
My love, kind of like a drug
And I ain’t want to go, save you
Yeah, I ain’t saving no one
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
[Verse – NittyGritty]
She just want a man to be the tab
Attitude and she got a ass
Mad to you so she slid to me ain’t no using me so I sent her back
She all in the club with a tight dress
Broke baby Daddy stress
Paying no mind to the ass she got cause the cash she want
But her life’s a messHell nah I won’t save you
Protect my heart with a badlock
Never let a bitch play you
Key advice from a Macawatch
Time flies when you don’t watch the clock
She ain’t Jenny she ain’t off the block
No plans she ain’t got a plot
Can’t sing but she dance alot
Baby this ain’t no club song, No drunk song
No Drizzy Drake, No love song
Might take you home to get fucked on
But then kick you out and my foot strong
And I ain’t one to get pushed on
No push over I stand my ground
I don’t need no one using me
Left me but she’ll come back round
[Hook – NittyGritty]
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
Please don’t abuse my heart
My love, kind of like a drug
And I ain’t want to go, save you
Yeah, I ain’t saving no one
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
[Verse – August Wild]
God made me so different that I can’t relate to myself sometimes
Feels like when I’m talkin to you I just talk to myself sometimes
In the club, but I need some time
Give me space and I’ll do my step
I’ll be going home by myself
I don’t wanna have pointless sex again
Not a
Nada
Not again, baby
I think I’m growing up cause I don’t do pretend baby
No, no not anymore, baby I’m done
It’s so much more to life than fucking these hoes that go as soon as I come
I hope you missing me like I’m missing you
You don’t understand what you put me through
I been goin through the old photographs while I’m in the club and they throwing ass
Like which one of yall wanna find love in the club?
Just keep doing what you’re doing but it won’t be enough
[Hook – NittyGritty]
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
Please don’t abuse my heart
My love, kind of like a drug
And I ain’t want to go, save you
Yeah, I ain’t saving no one
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
It takes time to get used to me
And I don’t need no one using me
