Remember back in the days when niggas had waves
Cazal shades and corn braids?
Pitchin' pennies, honeys had the high-top jellies
Shootin' skelly, motherf*ckers was all friendly
Loungin' at the barbecues, drinkin' brews
With the neighborhood crews, hangin' on the avenues
Turn your pages to 1993
Niggas is gettin' smoked, G, believe me
Talk slick, you get your neck slit quick
'Cause real street niggas ain't havin' that shit
Totin' TECs for rep
Smokin' blunts in the project hallways
Shootin' 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
Motherf*cker, this ain't back in the days
But you don't hear me though

No more coco-levio one, two, three
One, two, three, all it is to me is a mystery
I hear you motherf*ckers talk about it
But I stay seein' bodies with the motherf*ckin' chalk around it
And I'm down with the shit too
For the stupid motherf*ckers wanna try to use Kung-Fu
Instead of a MAC-10, he tried scrappin'
Slugs in his back and that's what the f*ck happens
When you sleep on the street
Little motherf*ckers with heat wanna leave a nigga six feet deep
And we comin' to the wake
To make sure the cryin' and commotion ain't a motherf*ckin' fake
Back in the days our parents used to take care of us
Look at 'em now, they even f*ckin' scared of us
Callin' the city for help because they can't maintain
Damn, shit done changed, uh

If I wasn't in the rap game
I'd probably have a ki, knee-deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slingin' crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot
Shit, it's hard bein' young from the slums
Eatin' five cent gums, not knowin' where your meal's comin' from
And now the shit's gettin' crazier and major
Kids younger than me, they got the Sky brand pagers
Goin' out of town, blowin' up
Six months later, all the dead bodies showin' 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 momma got cancer in her breast
Don't ask me why I'm motherf*ckin' stressed, things done changed
