[00:00:00] Mo B Dick

[00:00:02] Things ain't what they used to be

[00:01:01] Things ain't what they used to be

[00:01:01] Verse 1 Master P

[00:01:01] I remember back in the days it wasn't like that

[00:01:11] Everybody knew everybody now days it ain't like that

[00:01:14] We used to stand on the corners and drink brew

[00:01:21] Now days you gotta duck when they drive through

[00:01:22] Cause they blastin' life is like plastic

[00:01:23] But who would be the next egg took out the easter basket

[00:01:25] Is it you me or her or she or he

[00:02:25] Who would live to see the long age of 23

[00:02:31] Cause once you dead and gone who gives a damn

[00:02:35] On your tombstone would read Rest In Peace Sam

[00:02:37] But in the ghetto you cooked 'till you dead

[00:02:39] Ain't no love when you dead and gone cause you red

[00:02:40] Like roaches for the gutter peanut butter

[00:02:40] Your life in the gutter fool cause you fluttered

[00:02:40] With this game that I spit shoot out don't quit

[00:02:41] Now you a victim of society another statistic

[00:02:45] I heard the gunshots rain from the middle of the street

[00:02:47] The gunsmoke cleared three people on the concrete

[00:02:48] I mean it's crazy slippin' on daisies

[00:02:50] Time to call it quits they done put a bullet in a baby

[00:02:51] Chorus Master P Mo B Dick

[00:02:54] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:02:54] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:03:01] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:03:02] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:03:03] Verse 2 Master P

[00:03:03] Watch you back in the ghetto black

[00:03:03] Open the box Mom's ain't nothing to eat

[00:03:04] Back in the day I thought we was a family

[00:03:04] My little brother on the street corner selling crack

[00:03:06] Only 15 used to be a quarterback

[00:03:06] I wish the law would rehabilitate my auntie

[00:03:07] I came home try to visit that girl tried to do me

[00:03:07] Started tweakin said that she needed crack

[00:03:07] Stole my grandma's rent money out her purse black

[00:03:08] I stay Tru 2 Da Game you devils' can't see me

[00:03:13] I put that on my mom I put that on my gold teeth

[00:03:14] My homies bangin' no respect for the American flag

[00:03:14] But they kill over that blue and red rag

[00:03:14] Chorus

[00:03:22] Verse 3 Master P

[00:03:24] I remember back in the day smoking w**d was the everyday **

[00:03:27] Now days they shoot h****n and sell blood

[00:03:27] Back in the day catchin the clamps was gettin us shot

[00:03:28] Now days catch the AIDS and your time will stop

[00:03:28] My lil homies doin time 25 with a L

[00:03:29] A victim of the system I'd rather die and go to hell

[00:03:31] I try to be legit and start my own company

[00:03:31] 'Till these sucker want to bump into P

[00:03:32] They point the finger at me for tellin another what to do

[00:03:33] How could another person tell you what to do

[00:03:33] I could tell you to rob or steal or kill

[00:04:45] Thats like pointin' the finger at Jack or Jill

[00:04:57] For being the first person on this little earth

[00:04:59] Is like askin' Mary why she had to give birth

[00:05:10] And who would be the next victim to lose his life

[00:05:11] And who would be the next one to make a life

[00:05:12] But when you make a life you gotta learn to teach your kid

[00:05:15] So one day they can grow up and make it big

[00:05:23] But all this gangbangin' and turf wars gotta cease

[00:05:23] Cause y'all know we livin in the last days G

[00:05:24] Chorus

[00:05:24] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:05:26] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be

[00:05:49] Times done changed things ain't what they used to be
