Generate meaning
1
3 kids started off being friends to the end
2
Growing up in a time that turned boys to men
3
Carlo was the slick one, the little girls liked him
4
And all the little niggaz in the hood, wanted to fight him
5
But Carlo, main nigga James wasn't having that
6
James had boxing game and left niggaz laying flat
7
All of us 12 or 13 at the time
8
Drinking cheap wine, and smokin' brown bag dimes
9
I was into writing rhyme in class at school
10
Waitin' for the bell to ring so we can go and shoot pool
11
One day, some up the block niggaz came talking shit
12
Bragin' on they clique, and how many crews they click with
13
Tryin' to start some extra clip shit, them niggaz so for real
14
James so cool to get with fucked his whole grill
15
Carlo, that slick nigga pulled a 22
16
They got some heat too, what the fuck we gonna do?
17
Bust and hit the backdoor, now we in the alleyway
18
Running, heart pumpin' fast tryin' to see another day
19
Blessed to escape the mayhem
20
Time and time again, we escaped the mayhem
21
[Talking]
22
Yo, what's been goin' on dogg?
23
Man, that shit goin' down dogg
24
what's goin' down with you?
25
I done heard you got rich huh?
26
You don't fuck around with us in the hood no more huh?
27
You know it's funny how shit changes, right?
28
How life can loosen up a friendship that's so tight
29
Years after all the horseplay and misdemeanor crimes
30
Us being homeboys, didn't seem so fine
31
Years of just fuckin' around, rappin' in the neighborhood
32
Found me with a gold album, tryin' to live my life good
33
Carlo got popped with 8 keys in a minivan
34
Somewhere in Tex, Arcan, doin' about a hundred man
35
That nigga James, straight cutthroat on them snouts
36
Robbin' dope boys, gettin' what the fuck he want
37
The game changed, now you gotta play with death
38
Now I have to ask myself
39
Chorus:
40
Do you remember your childhood, back when
41
You didn't have to have loot, to have friends
42
Now it's all about your benjamins, your cash flow
43
And if a nigga fuck with that, he better know
44
Time changed everything, between us
45
And if I see you in the streets, I gotta bust
46
You used to be a friend to me, one I could trust
47
Now if you see me in the streets, you better bust
48
One day, I'm on my way to the studio, ya dig?
49
Pick up a zip of hay, after I drop off my kids
50
Flippin' through the hood, seen James with his little crew
51
Blue rags up, in a drop top Malibu
52
Bloodshot eyes, I could smell the dip burnin'
53
Bumpin' DJ Squeeky, flashin' what the earnin'
54
He asked about Carlo, well what can I say?
55
I write him when I get a chance, but I pray for him everyday
56
Lookin' at my ride, tellin' me nigga you comin' up
57
Fuckin' with that rappin' stuff, I guess you just forgot about us
58
Nah cat, it ain't like that
59
I gotta eat, that's when James clicked and pulled out his fuckin' heat
60
I hit the gas, he kept bustin' till the clip was empty
61
17 shots, and didn't nothin hot nip me
62
Quickly, grabbed my shit and opened it up wide
63
The nigga on the passenger side instantly died
64
James bailed, I gave chase, fuck the consequence
65
If I let him live, he'll start another incident
66
12 years ago, I never thought I'd see the day
67
Shit would ever be this way
68
Chorus
