[Hook] Back in the days I used to live without a care But now it's different today Because I know I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit back and get blazed And flash back to the days, back to the daze Because back in the days I used to live without a care But now it's different today 'Cause I know I'm not a kid anymore But some days I sit back and get blazed And flash back to the days, back in the daze [Verse 1] Flipping through the channel searching for my entertainment See nowadays that sh** don't entertain me My image of the world is tainted It ain't the same I used to vision it being different But hey, I can't complain 'cause I live in it I'm living until I go, no I live like time is infinite I know the plan the man has for me is far from unlimited Some say that I'm gifted with a talent I should stick wit' But I've been too focused on strategies I can get rich wit' Wrong thing to do, I traded my happiness for this sh**? Bills, Miranda rights, being read on a random night By some dickhead officer telling me he might have smelled something in the whip, now he's searching through my sh** f** around and find a clip, now he purposely insists
That this roach is worth a charge, so he gotta take me in Damn, day in my life Part I don't like, back to reality Reality bites [Hook] [Verse 2] Searching through my pockets for a dollar If I find then I'll take it to the store and cop a bottle Forty ounces tend to drown me when there ain't too much around me In the comfort of the crib, not a casket or the county, just me Luckily I keep one rolled when the bullsh** unfolds Attacking it quickly, my baby always in clench mode I sit back, relax, and observe from the front row Drama free in my area, tell 'em leave it at the front door Back when I used to only worry about throwing a fifty up But now I worry about how to get my sh** together Know that I meant it when I said things are different Many things to talk about but how many will listen? I know this money got the world spinnin', that's why Tax return season turn this world to Christmas Just something to mention No more games, I done changed no more being kid 'less I roll up and I go back to those things I done did And then I'm right back in [Hook]
