Back 2 The Way It Was

Your Ad Here
Yeah.. yo.. c'mon

Ride wit me, lemme take you somewhere



[Xzibit]

My father was a soldier, my mother was a rider

I was born wit my fists balled up, I'ma fighter

Inspired, a real rhyme writer

Get past the past the future looks brighter

But, I wanna get it back to the way it was

Exchange blows, elbows and it was still love

A better time, better place in space

Cause nothin can erase, shame tat' like my nigga Chase

Cause Bigga B will never be replaced, right

And I'ma scream it to the whole fuckin human race

Get a bar, get a taste

Enforce the muscle to ya hustle and ya did it with grace

Cause real niggaz don't save face, they make movements

Back to the time when hip-hop was music

When N.W.A. got booed at the Apollo

Broke "Straight Outta Compton" and the whole world followed

Cause right now hip-hop is hollow

With no substance, X-Man with the roughness

Cause success can suck sometime

And many of us the way we act, we even lost our minds



[Chorus]

You can hold your breath, 'til your blue in the face

But you can never ever take my place

I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong

Through the struggle I will live on (now sing the song wit me)

You can speculate, on every breath I take

But you can never ever take my place

I stay strong whether right or I'm wrong

Through the struggle I will live on



[Xzibit]

Back to the day when +Cooley+ was +High+

Hustle big like Butch in the Y-B-I

We did it 'n died, the gang still multiplied

Sock yo windpipe, cut yo air supply

Hypnotized, not by the glitz 'n glamour

So fuck them cameras, all I need is clips and hammers

The X-Man said that the first rhyme out

Were my fans worth my time? The first line out, so

Here we are eight years strong and still movin

Groovin with a reputation ya can't ruin

I wanna take it back how it used to be

Five thousand fucked up, rockin outta unity



[Chorus]



[Xzibit]

Was it the alcohol in you, the money the power the fame

that made you actually attempt to try to disgrace my name?

Played those games nigga when I was younger in life

'Til I seen another man's life cut short with a knife

Lose teeth, cause beef, no peace with us

Ya can't hang, and ya sho' can't eat with us

When times get tough, the tough get rough and drastic

Never been blasted, never been an arrogant bastard

But I coulda been a lawyer, I shoulda been a doctor

I never been a actor, I'm nothin but a monster

I move in silence, speak with violence

Think with science, live free and walk with lions

Cats around me with gats like Yasser Arafat

It takes a nation of millions to hold me back

Pounds of cush to push what I'm talkin about

It's hard to talk the talk with a gauge in yo mouth

It's hard to walk the walk with ya back blew out

Don't let the things that you can't change stress you out

Cause X take the money and run, and raise a man from a son

And change the world with the power of one c'mon



[Chorus]
