That's How It Goes Down
Lyricist:T Sanders, Todd Shaw, Jonathan Smith
You're thuggin' and you love the streets Huggin' the block, sellin' rocks, gettin' major heat And niggaz hatin', and you ain't stop to think about Niggaz runnin' their mouth, niggaz cessed you out That's how it goes down What happened to the days when we Could hug a block, flippin' rocks and just get money I remember when you and me used to ball We had it all and we took a fall
I came up in Cokeland, better known as Oakland Your weed could sell, are you smokin'? Eighteen with a big Mercedes Sellin' dope in the mid eighties Homie's talkin' 'bout I'm about to win Now when you gone let 'em all out the pen You sold crack to hell and back Whoever would have thought you could fail at that
Being broke ain't never been cool And it ain't no hope when you're failing in school You might as well flip the sac Roll out of town and take a trip with that Or you could just hit the block Stayin' on the corner, come and get the rocks Being out on the streets as a young teen Wasn't always a fun thing
You're thuggin' and you love the streets Huggin' the block, sellin' rocks, gettin' major heat And niggaz hatin', and you ain't stop to think about Niggaz runnin' their mouth, niggaz cessed you out That's how it goes down What happened to the days when we Could hug a block, flippin' rocks and just get money I remember when you and me used to ball We had it all and we took a fall That's how it goes down
Dope fiend still get high While dope dealers barely get by You better get your life right You wanna live in the burbs with your white wife Do your own thing, I know you want change And I can't play you wrong man, I'm laced with that long game It's just not a lot of choices man You ain't plannin' to go to jail with the poison clan
So you could be another number in the system, stuck For years got a brother in the pen fucked up All the stashes you know you kept And everything that the police left It's too late when you notice it Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's all gone, motherfuckers done stole yo shit You wanna kill 'em and you still do But realize, real killas get killed too, oh
You're thuggin' and you love the streets Huggin' the block, sellin' rocks, gettin' major heat And niggaz hatin', and you ain't stop to think about Niggaz runnin' their mouth, niggaz cessed you out That's how it goes down What happened to the days when we Could hug a block, flippin' rocks and just get money I remember when you and me used to ball We had it all and we took a fall That's how it goes down
He disappeared into thin air, he's nowhere When the last time he been here, we don't care 'Cause he don't come around no more Nigga live with his momma, down in brough He's just tryin' to survive I guess it's all right 'cause at least he's alive 'Cause nowadays, a little kid might shoot you down Life's wild in the town, young fools like to clown
He did the same thing, fall for the lies Hold your head up high and swallowed the pride Caught in a trap but don't know what you in Had a million, now you ain't got two cents You can't say nothin', now what I don't hear you talkin' all that loud stuff If you live and you die by the game and you lose At least you did spend your life tryin' to change
You're thuggin' and you love the streets Huggin' the block, sellin' rocks, gettin' major heat And niggaz hatin' and you ain't stop to think about Niggaz runnin' their mouth, niggaz cessed you out That's how it goes down What happened to the days when we Could hug a block, flippin' rocks and just get money I remember when you and me used to ball We had it all and we took a fall That's how it goes down
That's how it goes down, that's how it goes down That's how it goes down Oh, I remember when we had it all And I remember when we used to ball, we used to ball I remember, don't you remember When we had it all, we used to ball That's how it goes down, that's how it goes down That's how it goes down
