[Mo B. Dick]



Things Ain't What They Used To Be.

Things Ain't What They Used To Be.



Verse 1: [Master P]



I Remember Back In The Days It Wasn't Like That

Everybody Knew Everybody, Now Days It Ain't Like That

We Used To Stand On The Corners And Drink Brew

Now Days You Gotta Duck When They Drive Through

Cause They Blastin', Life Is Like Plastic

But Who Would Be The Next Egg Took Out The Easter Basket

Is It You, Me, Or Her Or She Or He?

Who Would Live To See The Long Age Of 23?

Cause Once You Dead And Gone Who Gives A Damn

On Your Tombstone Would Read Rest In Peace Sam

But In The Ghetto You Cooked 'till You Dead

Ain't No Love When You Dead And Gone Cause You Red

Like Roaches For The Gutter, Peanut Butter

Your Life In The Gutter , Fool Cause You Fluttered

With This Game That I Spit, Shoot Out, Don't Quit

Now You A Victim Of Society Another Statistic

I Heard The Gunshots Rain From The Middle Of The Street

The Gunsmoke Cleared Three People On The Concrete

I Mean It's Crazy, Slippin' On Daisies

Time To Call It Quits, They Done Put A Bullet In A Baby



Chorus: [Master P & Mo. B Dick]



Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be

Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be

Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be

Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be

Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be

Times Done Changed Things Ain't What They Used To Be



Verse 2: [Master P]



Watch You Back In The Ghetto Black

Open The Box, Mom's Ain't Nothing To Eat

Back In The Day, I Thought We Was A Family

My Little Brother On The Street Corner Selling Crack

Only 15 Used To Be A Quarterback

I Wish The Law Would Rehabilitate My Auntie

I Came Home Try To Visit That Girl Tried To Do Me

Started Tweakin Said That She Needed Crack

Stole My Grandma's Rent Money Out Her Purse Black

I S
