[ar:Notorious B.I.G.] |
[00:02.32] |
Verse One: |
[00:23.48] |
Remember back in the days,when niggaz had waves |
[00:26.48] |
Gazelle shades,and corn braids |
[00:29.04] |
Pitchin pennies,honies had the high top jellies |
[00:31.89] |
Shootin skelly,motherfuckers was all friendly |
[00:33.54] |
Loungin at the barbeques,drinkin brews |
[00:36.90] |
with the neighborhood crews,hangin on the avenues |
[00:40.00] |
Turn your pagers,to nineteen ninety three |
[00:42.41] |
Niggaz is gettin smoked G,believe me |
[00:45.21] |
Talk slick,you get your neck slit quick |
[00:47.51] |
Cause real street niggaz ain't havin that shit |
[00:49.97] |
Totin techs for rep,smokin blunts in the project |
[00:53.05] |
hallways,shootin dice all day |
[00:55.45] |
Wait for niggaz to step up on some fightin shit |
[00:57.56] |
We get hype and shit and start lifin shit |
[01:00.06] |
So step away with your fist fight ways |
[01:02.36] |
Motherfucker this ain't back in the days,but you don't hear me though |
[01:05.97] |
Verse Two: |
[01:26.69] |
No more cocoa leave-io,one two three |
[01:29.54] |
One two three,all of this to me,is a mystery |
[01:32.90] |
I hear you motherfuckers talk about it |
[01:35.00] |
But I stay seein bodies with the motherfuckin chalk around it |
[01:37.15] |
And I'm down with the shit too |
[01:40.15] |
For the stupid motherfuckers wanna try to use Kung-Fu |
[01:43.31] |
Instead of a Mac-10he tried scrappin |
[01:45.72] |
Slugs in his back and,that's what the fuck happens |
[01:47.87] |
when you sleep on the street |
[01:50.13] |
Little motherfuckers with heat,want ta leave a nigga six feet deep |
[01:54.51] |
And we comin to the wake |
[01:55.61] |
To make sure the cryin and commotion ain't a motherfuckin fake |
[01:57.86] |
Back in the days,our parents used to take care of us |
[02:01.67] |
Callin the city for help because they can't <-2401>maintain |
[02:07.77] |
Damn,shit done changed |
[02:11.83] |
Verse Three: |
[02:30.96] |
If I wasn't in the rap game |
[02:33.07] |
I'd probably have a key knee deep in the crack game |
[02:36.02] |
Because the streets is a short stop |
[02:38.22] |
Either you're slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot |
[02:40.58] |
Shit,it's hard being young from the slums |
[02:43.48] |
eatin five cent gums not knowin where your meals comin from |
[02:45.68] |
And now the shit's gettin crazier and major |
[02:48.83] |
Kids younger than me,they got the Sky grand Pagers |
[02:50.93] |
Goin outta town,blowin up |
[02:54.14] |
Six months later all the dead bodies showin up |
[02:57.04] |
It make me wanna grab the nine and the shottie |
[02:59.84] |
But I gotta go identify the body |
[03:02.35] |
Damn,what happened to the summertime cookouts? |
[03:03.90] |
Everytime I turn around a nigga gettin took out |
[03:07.28] |
Shit,my momma got cancer in her breast |
[03:09.93] |
Don't ask me why I'm motherfuckin stressed,things done changed |
