You could say dog
That things have changed
But in the same $#&@ing way

Everything the same it's a game
Of cat and mouse
Cause the L.A.P.D.

Tryna raid my house

And arrest me

Take me down to their station
Ese hit me with a choice
Send me on a vacantion

2 locations
That's far away from the fam.
Where no one's from a varrio

Just a big ol'gang

Remember back in the day (day)

X 5

I use to hang deep

Shoot the street light out
It was pitch $#&@en black
Just the homies with straps

Doing our thing
We got some hoes coming down
But we stayed on alert

Cause enemies was around

And the first chance they get

They take one out
We had them shooters on the roof
That protected the ground

It died down
About 5 am
When night come around

We do it again

Back then

No gang injuction
Even so we organize
And make it function

In the dungeon
I just press a button
The it all goes off

Homie mass destruction

No discussin

The less know is better
Dog C-O-N a ghost
But he getting his Cheddar

8th letter
Grey hood and sweater
I stay posted in the shadows

Straight cocaine seller

Remember back in the day (day)

X 5

We use to go upstate

Now it's Rico indictments
Attendet USC
But no classroom $$#ignments

A change in climate
Someone ain't keepin' it silent
Looking up at the stars

Constellation alignments

Like what the $#&@?

Is going on
So much that I got to put it
In this song

It's on
As I enter upon
A new $#&@en era

That's about to spawn
I think back
On what it use to be
Summer nights at the park
We was 50 deep

No sleep
But that's the streets
And once you hear the beat
Then you'll have to repeat


No retreat
No surrender
Mutha$#&@er beat cases
With a public defender
Take 2 weeks off

In the mouth of December
Come back on the first
I'm a lifetime member

Remember back in the day (day)

X 5
