Back in the day
Things done changed on this side 
Remember they used to thump, but now they blast, right?
Remember back in the days when niggas had waves
Cazal shades and corn braids?
Pitching pennies, honeys had the high-top jellies
Shooting skelly, motherfuckers was all friendly
Lounging at the barbecues, drinking brews
With the neighborhood crews hanging on the avenues
Turn your pages to 1993
Niggas is getting smoked, G, believe me
Talk slick, you get your neck slit quick
Cause real street niggas aint having that shit
Totin TECs for rep
Smoking blunts in the project hallways
Shooting dice all day
Waitin for niggas to step up on some fightin shit
We get hype and shit and start lightin shit
So step away with your fistfight ways
Motherfucker, this aint back in the days
But you dont hear me though

No more coco-levio one, two, three
One, two, three, all it is to me is a mystery
I hear you motherfuckers talk about it
But I stay seeing bodies with the motherfuckin chalk around it
And Im down with the shit, too
For the stupid motherfuckers want to try to use Kung-Fu
Instead of a MAC-10, he tried scrappin
Slugs in his back and thats what the fuck happens
When you sleep on the street
Little motherfuckers with heat wanna leave a nigga six feet deep
And we coming to the wake
To make sure the crying and commotion aint a motherfucking fake
Back in the days our parents used to take care of us
Look at em now, they even fuckin scared of us
Calling the city for help because they cant maintain
Damn, shit done changed

If I wasnt in the rap game
Id probably have a ki, knee-deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either youre slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
Shit, its hard being young from the slums
Eatin five cent gums, not knowing where your meals coming from
And now the shits getting crazier and major
Kids younger than me, they got the Sky brand pagers
Goin out of town, blowing up
Six months later, all the dead bodies showing up
It make me wanna grab the nine and the shotty
But I gotta go identify the body
Damn, what happened to the summertime cookouts?
Every time I turn around, a nigga gettin took out
Shit, my mama got cancer in her breast
Dont ask me why Im motherfucking stressed, things done changed
