[mo b. dick]Things aint what they used to be.Things aint what they used to be.Verse 1: [master p]I remember back in the days it wasnt like thatEverybody knew everybody, now days it aint like thatWe used to stand on the corners and drink brewNow days you gotta duck when they drive throughCause they blastin, life is like plasticBut who would be the next egg took out the easter basketIs it you, me, or her or she or he?Who would live to see the long age of 23?Cause once you dead and gone who gives a damnOn your tombstone would read rest in peace samBut in the ghetto you cooked till you deadAint no love when you dead and gone cause you redLike roaches for the gutter, peanut butterYour life in the gutter , fool cause you flutteredWith this game that I spit, shoot out, dont quitNow you a victim of society another statisticI heard the gunshots rain from the middle of the streetThe gunsmoke cleared three people on the concreteI mean its crazy, slippin on daisiesTime to call it quits, they done put a bullet in a babyChorus: [master p & mo. b dick]Times done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beVerse 2: [master p]Watch you back in the ghetto blackOpen the box, moms aint nothing to eatBack in the day, I thought we was a familyMy little brother on the street corner selling crackOnly 15 used to be a quarterbackI wish the law would rehabilitate my auntieI came home try to visit that girl tried to do meStarted tweakin said that she needed crackStole my grandmas rent money out her purse blackI stay tru 2 da game you devils cant see meI put that on my mom, I put that on my gold teethMy homies bangin ,no respect for the american flagBut they kill over that blue and red ragChorus:Times done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beVerse 3: [master p]I remember back in the day smoking weed was the everyday drugNow days they shoot heroin and sell bloodBack in the day catchin the clamps was gettin us shotNow days catch the aids and your time will stopMy lil homies doin time, 25 with a lA victim of the system, Id rather die and go to hellI try to be legit and start my own companytill these sucker want to bump into pThey point the finger at me for tellin another what to doHow could another person tell you what to doI could tell you to rob or steal or killThats like pointin the finger at jack or jillFor being the first person on this little earthIs like askin mary why she had to give birthAnd who would be the next victim to lose his lifeAnd who would be the next one to make a lifeBut when you make a life you gotta learn to teach your kidSo one day they can grow up and make it bigBut all this gangbangin and turf wars gotta ceaseCause yall know we livin in the last days gChorus:Times done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to beTimes done changed things aint what they used to be
