You're thuggin and you love the streets
|
Huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat
|
And niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about
|
Niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out
|
That's how it goes down
|
What happened to the days when we could hug a block
|
Flippin rocks and just get money
|
I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall
|
|
I came up in cokeland, better known as Oakland
|
Your weed could sell, are you smokin
|
Eighteen with a big mercedes
|
Sellin dope in the mid-eighties
|
Homie talkin bout I'm about to win
|
Now when you gon' let'em all out the pen
|
You sold crack to hell and back
|
Whoever would have thought you could fail at that
|
Or you could just hit the block
|
Stayin on the corner, come and get the rocks
|
Bein out on the streets as a young teen
|
Wasn't always a fun thing
|
|
You're thuggin and you love the streets
|
Huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat
|
And niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about
|
Niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out
|
That's how it goes down
|
What happened to the days when we could hug a block
|
Flippin rocks and just get money
|
I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall
|
That's how it goes down
|
|
Dope fiend still get high
|
While dope dealers barely get by
|
You better get your life right
|
You wanna live in the 'burbs with your white wife
|
Do your own thing
|
I know you want change
|
And I can't play you wrong man
|
I'm laced with that long game
|
It's just not a lot of choices man
|
You aint plannin to go to jail with the poison clan
|
So you could be another number in the system, stuck, for years
|
Got a brother fucked up
|
All the stashes you know you kept
|
And everything that the police left
|
It's too late when you notice it
|
It's all gone, motherfuckers done stole yo shit
|
You wanna kill'em and you still do
|
But realize that real killas get killed too
|
|
You're thuggin and you love the streets
|
Huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat
|
And niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about
|
Niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out
|
That's how it goes down
|
What happened to the days when we could hug a block
|
Flippin rocks and just get money
|
I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall
|
That's how it goes down
|
|
He's dissappeared into thin air, he's nowhere
|
Whens the last time he been here, we don't care
|
Cause he don't come around no mo'
|
Nigga live with his momma, down in brough
|
He's just tryin to survive
|
I guess it's all right cause at least he's alive
|
Cause nowadays a lil kid might shoot you down
|
Life's wild in the town
|
Young fools like to clown
|
He did the same thing fall for the lies
|
Hold your head up high and swallowed the pride
|
Caught in a trap, but don't know that you in
|
Had a million, now you ain't got two cents
|
You can't say nothin, now what
|
I don't hear you talkin all that loud stuff
|
If you live and you die by the game and you lose
|
At least you did spend your life tryin to change
|
|
You're thuggin and you love the streets
|
Huggin the block, sellin rocks, gettin major heat
|
And niggaz hatin, and you aint stop to think about
|
Niggaz runnin they mouh, niggaz cessed you out
|
That's how it goes down
|
What happened to the days when we could hug a block
|
Flippin rocks and just get money
|
I remember when you and me used to ball, we had it all, and we took a fall
|
That's how it goes down
|
|
That's how it goes down
|
That's how it goes down
|
That's how it goes down
|
|
[Singing:]
|
I remember when we had it all...(we had it all)
|
And I remember when we used to ball...(we used to ball)
|
I remember, don't you remember
|
When we had it all, we used to ball
|
|
That's how it goes down
|
That's how it goes down
|
That's how it goes down
|

That's How It Goes Down
