Keep it hood...
[Chorus:]
Always seems to be, something in the past, won't let me go
Always seems to be, something in the past, won't let me live
[Verse 1:]
Two n***as came together
Trying to get their game together
Separate and change directions
Separating chain selections
Now they in separate sections
Always used to ride together
Slide and get high together
Used to always make it happen
One was stuntin, one was clappin
Now they both feeling trapped and
Used to bang Eric Clapton
Everyday in every way
Smoking each and everyday
Dumped to Curtis Mayfield on a load of Layla Hathaway
This is what I have to say
I remember... you don't stay down with me, but f** it
Whatever's gonna be, just let it be, don't just say nothing
Soon as I do something for me to get a little further
Everybody wanna trip like I didn't deserve it
Now when I see n***as like two or three years later
They still ain't got over the fact that I'm making some paper
Stop tripping boy what's done ain't no changing up
Glocks spitting boy it's done ain't no changing up
All over the past
[Chorus:]
[Verse 2:]
n***a, let the past go
Stop tripping n***a, before a n***a have to start chipping n***as
Before a n***a have to get to chipping n***as,
Get to busting n***as, like f** them n***as
In the middle of the warzone it happens
All the games is over, full metal jackets
I ain't tripping y'all, all about the cash
That's all a n***a 'bout, from the inside to out
I run amok n***a, don't give a f** n***a
Suge and Kurupt n***a, don't give a f** n***a
I roll the streets n***a, co*k back the heat n***a
Y'all n***as weak n***a, nickels spreading leak n***as
You know about Gotti, run up on anyone
You helped create me n***a, stop trying to quake me n***a
I'm 'bout to toss fire, since I ain't a dog
Reborn to rebirth of a pure hog
f** the past n***a!
[Chorus]
[Over Chorus:]
Right after that
Something about the past n***a
You know... sh**...
Know what I'm saying
It's like they told me, it's natural
Know what I mean? roll with n***as for so long
You know, but when I go and do something for myself
You know, sh**... I used to smash for y'all
Something about that past man
n***as don't know how to let sh** go, just roll
Know what I mean?
You gotta love me for who I am
f** the past (my ups and down)
If it's not positive n***a, f** the past
Know what I'm saying, n***a (my rights and my wrongs)
Mark Sparks these n***as is b**hes
Sup Dave
Oh man, tell these n***as man
Always seems to be, in the past n***a, won't let me live, let me live
Let me live n***a, let me live n***a, let me live n***a
