If you’ve been keeping an eye on the rap scene, you probably know Dax. Born Daniel Nwosu Jr., he started off dropping spoken word and motivational videos before turning those skills into music.

He’s got a rep for being real, like really real, with songs that touch on everything from struggles with addiction to faith and mental health. Tracks like Dear Alcohol and Dear God showed us he’s not about fake flexes but honest stories.

Now, Dax is back with his latest single Man I Used to Be, and it’s exactly what you’d expect. A raw, no-BS vibe where he talks about growth and change. The beat is smooth and simple, giving him space to spit some heavy truths about leaving his past behind and becoming a better version of himself

This track got a laid-back beat that lets Dax spit real deep about his grind to level up and grow. It’s got that chill vibe like you’re sittin’ down with someone who’s been through the struggle but came out winning.

Dax ain’t frontin’, he puts the real on blast, talkin’ family drama, broken ties, and his own screw-ups. But he ain’t caught up in no old shit. Nah, he’s all about movin’ forward, bossin’ up, and gettin’ better every day.

The visuals? Mad dark and moody, straight-up cinematic, giving the whole thing that raw, real-life feel you can’t fake.

Man I Used to Be is a must-cop if you’re lookin’ for that real talk and bars that make you think. Dax keeps it 100, humble as hell, showin’ us you gotta drop that past baggage if you wanna glow up for real.

Lyrics:

I’m half the man I used to be

It’s gon’ take some getting used to me

I used to think I had it all

But when you’re up all you do is fall

And that’s why I’m

Half the man I used to be

Trials and tribulations

All my past trauma

Generational curses from daddy and mama

Heartbreak and lies

Dirty soul ties

Mixed with addictions that clouded my eyes

I’ve been mistaken and taken for granted

and locked in the prison that I call my mind

And now that I’ve lived and I’ve learned

And I’ve built and I’ve burned all these bridges I’ll leave it behind

And that’s why

I’m half the man I used to be

It’s gon’ take some getting used to me

I used to think I had it all

But when you’re up all you do is fall

And that’s why I’m

Half the man I used to be

Don’t ask the reason I changed

Ask yourself why you stayed the same

I couldn’t sleep in that bed I made

I needed more in life

I tried every remedy prescribed

Getting drunk every night

Letting women waste my time

Now I’m in a phase I can sleep alone

I don’t ever chase, I got God

Letting go of pain that was never mine

Trying to bear the weights

not my job

Cause that’s the man i used to be

And he ain’t no use to me

 

I’m half the man I used to be

It’s gon’ take some getting used to me

I used to think I had it all

But when you’re up all you do is fall

And that’s why I’m

Half the man I used to be

 

I’m half the man I used to be

It’s gon’ take some getting used to me

I used to think I had it all

But when you’re up all you do is fall

And that’s why I’m

Half the man I used to be
