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
