[Verse 1: Master P]
5
I remember back in the days it wasn't like that
6
Everybody knew everybody, now days it ain't like that
7
We used to stand on the corners and drink brew
8
Now days you gotta duck when they drive through
9
Cause they blastin', life is like plastic
10
But who would be the next egg took out the easter basket
11
Is it you, me, or her or she or he?
12
who would live to see the long age of 23?
13
Cause once you dead and gone who gives a damn
14
On your tombstone would read Rest In Peace Sam
15
But in the ghetto you cooked 'till you dead
16
Ain't no love when you dead and gone cause you red
17
Like roaches for the gutter, peanut butter
18
your life in the gutter , fool cause you fluttered
19
With this game that I spit, shoot out, don't quit
20
Now you a victim of society another statistic
21
I heard the gunshots rain from the middle of the street
22
The gun-smoke cleared three people on the concrete
23
I mean it's crazy, slippin' on daisies
24
Time to call it quits, they done put a bullet in a baby
25
[Chorus: Master P and Mo. be Dick]
26
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
27
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
28
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
29
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
30
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
31
Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
32
[Verse 2: Master P]
33
Watch you back in the ghetto black
34
Open the box, Mom's ain't nothing to eat
35
Back in the day, I thought we was a family
36
My little brother on the street corner selling crack
37
Only 15 used to be a quarterback
38
I wish the law would rehabilitate my auntie
39
I came home try to visit that girl tried to do me
40
Started tweakin' said that she needed crack
41
Stole my grandma's rent money out her purse black
42
I stay Tru 2 Da Game you devils' can't see me
43
I put that on my mom, I put that on my gold teeth
44
My homies bangin' ,no respect for the American flag
45
But they kill over that blue and red rag
46
[Chorus]
47
[Verse 3: Master P]
48
I remember back in the day smoking weed was the everyday drug
49
Now days they shoot heroin and sell blood
50
Back in the day catchin' the clamps was gettin' us shot
51
Now days catch the AIDS and your time will stop
52
My lil' homies doin' time, 25 with a L
53
A victim of the system, I'd rather die and go to hell
54
I try to be legit and start my own company
55
Till these sucker want to bump into P
56
They point the finger at me for tellin' another what to do
57
How could another person tell you what to do
58
I could tell you to rob or steal or kill
59
that's like pointin' the finger at Jack or Jill
60
For being the first person on this little earth
61
Is like askin' Mary why she had to give birth
62
And who would be the next victim to lose his life
63
And who would be the next one to make a life
64
But when you make a life you gotta learn to teach your kid
65
So one day they can grow up and make it big
66
But all this gangbangin' and turf wars gotta cease
67
Cause y'all know we livin' in the last days G
68
[Chorus]
