Letras de The Way Life Used to Be

Ayo Battlecat

It′s your dog
Big Snoopy D-O-double-G
Hey cuz
I was thinkin'
We need to take it back
To the way it used to be
You feel me?
Yeah, uh
Come on

Yeah
Drift with me
Drift with me, come on
Drift with me y′all

Reflections of the way life used to be
Yeah yeah, uh
It's alright

Take it back to the afros and the naturals
Cake cutter pics, we slips into the back rows
OG my nigga, for real though
Straight up off the east side, top of the hill yo

I'm lookin′ at the overview, thinkin′ 'bout ′86
Damn I was overdue, walkin' in the hood
Makin′ mixtapes, tryin' to walk up out the hood
While I′m chuckin' up the hood
Talk about the hood that I came from
It raised me, that real Crip crazy
While them oops is daisy

Demon or a heathen, schemin' while I′m dreamin′
Screamin' to get even, seein′ is believin'

And don′t you forget that
Get it 'til you get back, hit that, kick back
Three flies, one away
Reminisce about the things that my grandmama used to say
Stay in your own lane and stay on your own
And quit tryin′ to be grown
Day turn to night and play turn to fight

Yeah, I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
Drift with me
It's alright
Drift with me

I like them girls from Ladera Heights

Or them girls on heels
I take a trip up to World on Wheels
And get in a fight, make it back to my ride
Pop shots at some suckers disrespectin' the side
My big homie, my cuzzo, schoolyard bozo
Slid me away just to get me away
I′m just a Long Beach Crip outside of my hood
I′m bangin', ridin′, but doin' it good
And when I get locked down ain′t no hidin' and wonderin′
Soon as I hit the county I'm up in 4800

With the dealers, the killers, the realest of beasts

The best from the west and the beasts from the east

Yeah, I'm actin′ a fool
I′m gettin' my degree from gladiator school
I chose this life ′cause I knows this life
Sell a little crack and my flows is tight

I plan my choice and what's cold is
I can still hear my grandma′s voice
She say day turn to night and play turn to fight
Yeah, I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
Drift with me
It's alright
Drift with me

If you get caught then you don′t walk 'cause you don't talk
And these was the rules, squeeze on these fools
I came up in a different era homie
Where the G′s is the G′s and the little wannabes really want it
Wanna be like, 'cause the C life
Make you wanna G like, now who you wanna be like?

That fool on the TV screen?
Or the homie on the corner gettin′ major cream?
In a Cadillac, beat like Battlecat
A dick with money, don't know how to act
Smoke ′til your eyes get cataracts
All money nonsense, yeah none of that
Quarter sack, run it back, pull it back
Rock him up, bag him up, funny that
If the trick up the track, do you want your money back?
Little bitch was a bunny rat

Watch for the funny act

'Cause it′s gon' come

And my granny said it's no fun
She say day turn to night and play turn to fight
Yeah, I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
It′s alright
