Tracy Kendrick - Back in the Day lyrics

[Lil' 1/2 Dead] Yeah, ha ha That n***a half dead in this motherf**er Know what im saying, For the 1996 b*atch Yeah, haha, Way back in the day [Lil' 1/2 Dead] Way back in the day what I was told n***a every thing shining and just ain't gold But every thing I touched is just the gangsta sh** That's why I keep coming up with these cavi hits And H.D dogg will always stay a G Coming from the Eastside of the L.B.C Always watch my back and I handle my biz And all yall s**a a** n***as know what time it iz You better watch your back and you better not trip Because I always got my strap with my extra clip And H.D dogg has always been a mack And every single day I smoke an fat a** sack I like smoking weed and a gang of beer I been doing this gangsta sh** for a gang of years And I can break it down in a gang of ways But I learn this gangsta sh** way back in the day [Lil' 1/2 Dead Hook 4x] Way back in the day [Lil' 1/2 Dead] Way back in my hood in 83' That's when this gangsta sh** had first came to me It was planted in my head and it never left That's why you n***as know just where my weapon is kept Up under my shirt and I put's in work And I really gives a mad f** about getting hurt You better watch your back when im on your block And you best hit the deck when I bust my Glock Cuz If you get hit b**h, it ain't my fault When you lying in the street outlined and chalked And all I can say is that's what you get For f**ing with them n***as coming from the gangsta clique And even though n***a when you dead and gone I'll be still doing the sh** like all night long And even though say that crime don't pay I learn that sh** here n***a way back in the day [Lil' 1/2 Dead Hook 4x] Way back in the day [Lil' 1/2 Dead] Now this just a taste, just to let you know That I be like coming with that gangsta flow And if you don't hear me, n***a open your ears Because I done ran through life and didn't have no fears Or regrets, or sorrows, or maybe even madness We was just coming up some crazy little ba*tards Having fun in the city Doing robberies, ringing bells and touching b**hes titties But Stealing bikes was the best one And you probably get fifty if you came with a fresh one From the big homie, from down the block He keeps a gang of money because he slangs them rocks But I ain't knocking that man from getting paid He straight living lavish and he has it made And every day he chills in the shade And He been doing that sh** there since back in the days [Lil' 1/2 Dead Hook 8x]
