[Verse 1: Pimp C] We used to ride Cadillacs with the roof pushed back Open up my do' while paper moves we catch a contact Livin' our life wrong, n***a wasn't s'posed to live long These b**hes strong or be gone it wasn't for these rap songs We used to sell dope, cos time don't hold up How the f** you gon' eat if you ain't got sh** to fold up? Better keep my mind on Donny Young, doin' 40 for cheddar We smoke the skunk and poppin' that trunk to make us feel better My paint done got much wetter, than it was in '92 Bought Mama a Benz for Christmas, doin' sh** you boys tryin' to do And even though we got fame, we love to grip the grain Even though these hoes say that I change, hey b**h I'm still the same Dealin' with tha same thangs, just in a new game Ain't touch no 'caine, try and have sh** like Little James It's dedicated to the trill n***as that paved the way Stayin' high, tryin'a hold on to yesterday [Hook: Bun B] I never thought that there would ever be a time When a man will wanna k** another man behind a rhyme I never thought that I would ever live to see Another man try to come and take my life away from me I never thought that I would ever have to deal With the fact that to protect my life somebody might get k**ed But I'll survive and I know I'm blessed to say I realise that tomorrow won't be like yesterday [Verse 2: PSK-13] I remember this like yesterday, Saturday nine o'clock, uh Electric Company backed up by Schoolhouse Rock, sh** Didn't have no bills then, but now I got bills Seems like I'm only a bill, and livin' only for skrill I was only 13, mannish, used to run through some chicks Used to catch the bus to the Majestic and watch Kung Fu flicks Little league basketball, I'm hoopin', baby, scorin' all the points After the game I'm chippin' in with the twins on the joints, uh The lanky motherf**er, I'm growin' up fast My only dream was to somehow get a fold of cash, uh These H-town streets produced this game of mine Forever in a "f** you!" frame of mind I changed with the times, now these boys come with 'plexes I'm screamin' 'til my dime, baby, Mo City, Texas I remember this like yesterday, in jheris and braids Now these boys chopped it down for newer 20s and blades [Hook] [Verse 3: Bun B] As my day goes by, I wish I could close my eyes And just expose myself to my past But I suppose I can't change the path that I chose Why would I wanna? Everybody knows I just tried to do right And keep it all tight in my bro's eye Watchin' 5-0s try, and travellin' first cla** like the pros fly I'm lookin' 'round corners tryin' to see where my foes lay The master of the cla** like Blowfly For really I'm so sly, you probably wouldn't buy it Drugs, I used to ride it, used to hide it Used to sell it, even tried it, denied it To the end to my mama but eventually it came out Her baby son done turned the game out, couldn't take the shame out her eyes All the lies, all the excuses, when your mama's cryin' it's all useless Boy you ain't ruthless, you're just your mama's baby Who hopin' and prayin' that maybe things could be like yesterday [Hook x2]
