Hmm, heh, stay wiv me (Chorus:) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (I gots ta have it) Just another young n***a havin thangs made Time plans change and change comes with time Throughout these years I learned to get down for mine Had to do some crime With the attitude of not givin a f** Born with no luck, refuse to stay stuck I make the bucks Did what I had to, I did what I could My rise to the top was no surprise cos I knew dat I would make it, oh, the chance I had to take it Fake it, never because that n***a was too clever If there ever was a motherf**in die for his crime it had to be me, the B-I-G Mike and he straight G Come sun down, come sun up, gun up for dem n***as who wanna run up wishin my colly came up short, that n***a done what? Fool, you think black n***a don't go for no losses I had ta get rid of my runners so I recruited mo' horses Down wit neighbourhood bouncers I made a connection in rows Laid up with elbows in vogues I just kick back and stack rows and hoes (Chorus:) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Stay wiv me) Just another young n***a havin thangs made (I gots ta have it) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (All my stuff here like that) Just another young n***a havin thangs made Times are changin, I'm livin my life in and out the dope, black! Loungin here and there somethin screamin in my ear "Michael go back home!" but I ain't really sure, black I gots ta get my sh** together the right way, n***a I know that Comin up short, swangin by the tail-in Thinkin of a masterplan, this n***a's bailin down the road and I promise not to look back at what I once had, what I have now, would've left left when I was two, black Shook that, now I'm in my own realm Controllin sh**, kickin it, never knew life could be so damn well I got mine, everything feelin lime Time for a change and change comes with time (Chorus:) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (They done) Just another young n***a havin thangs made (Hmm!) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Fool!) Just another young n***a havin thangs made Lock another n***a up, throw away the f**in key That's the way they punish me, motherf** society I can spend a century in a penetentiary it won't make a difference G cos ain't nobody missin me Round and round and round we go, a diff'rent day, a diff'rent face Damn I wish I could run away, I hate this motherf**in place Too many goddamn rules that's why I quit school Givin me a quickie test, I ain't no damn fool Can't walk out my house because they always in my face And if I step outta place, they wanna give me a case Ain't no difference between society and a jail house Everybody's locked up and wanna get the hell out Just cos you ain't locked down you think you got it good but you better think again cos the police are checkin n***as in the neighbourhood beatin our a** down Cos society is just like the pen so get ready for the lock-down Clock now while you can, man huh cos it's all about havin thangs An' I'ma get mine fool! Time for a change and change changes with time (Chorus:) Loud house and chains and swangin thangs (Hmm) Just another young n***a havin thangs made (x4)
