Back in the Days

See back in the days, it wasn't no AIDS
 It wasn't no AK's, more afros than braids
 Wasn't nuttin' for a boy to get a straight fade
 But not no mo, niggaz done twist up the fro
 Let it lock and grow, quick to go to gun play
 Bout that fro, nigga you don't know
 And I'm thinkin' 'bout when round the time I was ten
 And way before the pen, the worst thing I ever
 Remember seein' was a boy get his whole head bashed in
 But now they gettin' blown off, whole chest torn off
 Whole block roped off, two clips in his house
 For fuckin' round, runnin' off at his damn mouth
 Yep, back in the days it wasn't 'bout fame
 Plus it wasn't 'bout a name and it wasn't no thang
 To kill a nigga and do the rest of ya life in the chain gang
 But na shit done changed and I know it seem strange
 But I'm a maintain, so I'm a stack my flow
 And say, "Fuck you hoes", stay the fuck out the chain gang, nigga
 See back in the days, it wasn't no AIDS
 It wasn't no AK's, more Afros than braids
 Wasn't nuttin' for a boy to get a straight fade
 But not no mo, niggaz done twist up the fro
 Let it lock and grow, quick to go to gun play
 'Bout that fro, nigga you don't know
 See back in the days, it wasn't no AIDS
 It wasn't no AK's, more Afros than braids
 Wasn't nuttin' for a boy to get a straight fade
 But not no mo, niggaz done twist up the fro
 Let it lock and grow, quick to go to gun play
 'Bout that fro, nigga you don't know
 Some hoes no shame, other hoes play games
 See they'll fuck ya for the fame and when the heat is on
 And they can't hang, they'll give them crackers yo name
 They'll say it under oath and swear to tell the truth
 Run down what ya do, how ya clown wit ya crew
 Along with that a list of shit like who fucked the who
 Tell a ho about ya spot, where ya threw away the glock
 But every bitch that ya shot, every key that ya caught
 And every car that ya drop, the ninety seven drop tops
 And them Carolina trips and then they grill you the flip
 Time and date when ya dip, every deal you done dealt
 And every crib you done built, with no muthafuckin' guilt
 Yep, back in the days It wasn't none a this
 Ya couldn't pay a bitch to snitch, It just goes to show that
 Fuck niggaz and slimy hoes, make the world flip the script
 Back in the days, it wasn't no AK's
 Back in the days, in the days back in the days
 Day, day, days, in the days, there was no AK's
 Back in the days, see back in the days, in the days
 In the days, it wasn't no AK's, in the days
 In the days, in the days, hey
 See back in the days, all pimps got paid
 And all hoes got slayed, a lotta money got saved
 And every playa had it made in dade
 We was slayed before then boys was made
 Before then, way before them raisin poor men
 With no choice, way before them
 But na shit done changed, I mean a nigga done came
 Ya done took our name, we done peeped y'all game
 Ya ova looked our pain man, and we ain't tryin' to be friends
 Ya wasn't tryin' back then, had a problem with my skin
 Got together with ya clan and send a young poor
 Black man straight to the pen
 Ya had beef with the blacks but na the blacks got the gats
 So if a cracker talk slick, his ass gon get whacked
 And you can bet that, see nigga back in the days
 I was young and afraid, so dumb in a way
 I was trapped in a maze, looked up in cage so, hey
 See back in the days, it wasn't no AIDS
 It wasn't no AK's, more Afros than braids
 Wasn't nuttin' for a boy to get a straight fade
 But not no mo, niggaz done twist up the fro
 Let it lock and grow, quick to go to gun play
 'Bout that fro, nigga you don't know
 See back in the days, it wasn't no AIDS
 It wasn't no AK's, more afros than braids
 Wasn't nuttin' for a boy to get a straight fade
 But not no mo, niggaz done twist up the fro
 Let it lock and grow, quick to go to gun play
 'Bout that fro, nigga you don't kno
 See back in the days, in the days
 It wasn't no AK's, in the days
 It wasn't no A's, it wasn't no AK's
 In the days, in the days, in the days
 It wasn't no A's, back in the days
 It wasn't no A's, it wasn't no AK's
 In the days, it wasn't no A's
 It wasn't no AK's, in the days
 But na a lotta shit done changed
 A lotta shit done changed
