  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
  Back in the day

  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
