Verse 1
(A minor) Uh- huh
That's right
Uh- huh- uh,
it was all good just a (E minor) week ago (F major)
Last week I had everything
Uh, uh- huh- uh,
had this all (E minor) good just a week (A minor) ago
I had the money, had the cars,
the bitches
Uh- huh, yeah,
it was all (E minor) good just a week ago
And (F major) the jewelry
And then my motherfucking niggas
started snitching
Uh- huh, uh uh, (E minor) yo
Bitch!
Verse 2
Grow (A minor) ing up in the hood just
my dog and me
We used to hustle in the hood for,
(E minor) all to see
Prob (F major) lems, I called on him,
he called on me
We wasn't quite partners,
I (E minor) hit him off my P
(A minor) Let him unlocked doors, off my keys
Yeah we spoke, much more (E minor) than cordially
Man (F major) he broke bread with me,
my business spreads with me
The Feds came to get me,
(E minor) we both fled quickly
Wasn't (A minor) quick enough to jump
over the hedges with me
Got caught, and that's when our
(E minor) re lationship strained
Used to (F major) call me from the joint 'til
he ran out of change
And when he called collect
and (E minor) I heard his name
I quickly (A minor) accepted,
but when I reached the phone
He's talkin' reckless,
I can sense (E minor) de ceit in his tone
I said, (F major) "Damn dog, what,
nine weeks and you're home?"
He said, "Main man,
you think shit's sweet 'cause you're (E minor) home"
I just (G major) sat, (A minor) spat no more
speech in the phone
The crackers up there bleaching your (E minor) dome,
you're reaching
I said, (F major) "The world don't stop I've got
to keep keep on"
From there I sensed the beef was (E minor) on
I ran to the (A minor) spot,
store to add some more features on my phone
To see if I had bugs (E minor) an
d leeches on my phone
Can't (F major) be too safe cause niggas
is two- faced
And they show the other side
when they (E minor) catch a new case
It's (A minor) on
It was cool when you had hella weed to smoke
New- Play with audio & scroll
Upgrade to play 20,000+ songs ads free, and enjoy playing with music.
Verse 3
And (A minor)
you bought a new home
where you could (E minor) keep the folks
I don't (F major) see how this side of you could
be provoked
(Uh- huh, uh- huh,
it was all (E minor) good just a week (A minor) ago)
Verse 4
Funny what, seven days can change (A minor)
A stand up nigga,
now you (E minor) sit down to aim
Used (F major) to have a firm grip now
you dropping names
Uh- huh, uh- huh (It was all
(E minor) good just a week ago)
Verse 5
Like (A minor) I put the toast to your head
and made you sell
We both came in this game, (E minor) blind as hell
(F major) I did a little better, had more clientele
Told you put away some cheddar
now you (E minor) crying for bail
Sev (A minor) enteen and I'm holding
on to around a mil'
I could bail out and blow trial
and come around on the pill
(E minor) Had (F major) niggas thinking I was from
Uptown for real
I had so much hustle plus (E minor) I was down to ill
Like (A minor) a Brooklyn nigga,
straight out of Brownsville
Down and dirty,
down (E minor) to fight 'til round thirty
(F major) Freezing on them corners still
holding my crack
Looking up and down the block,
the (E minor) fuck is the dough at?
(A minor) Came from flat broke to letting
the dough stack
You tell them feds I said
(E minor) I'm never going back
I'm (F major) from Marcy,
and Marcy don't raise no rats
You know the consequences of your (E minor) acts,
you can't be serious
Verse 6
It (A minor) was cool when you had
hella weed to smoke
And you bought a new home
where you could (E minor) keep the folks
I (F major) don't see how this side of you
could be provoked
(Uh- huh, uh- huh,
it was all (E minor) good just a week (A minor) ago)
Verse 7
Funny what, seven days can change (A minor)
A stand up nigga,
now you sit down to (E minor) aim
Used (F major) to have a firm grip now
you dropping names
Uh- huh, uh- huh (It was all
(E minor) good just a week ago)
Verse 8
The (A minor) lawyer I retained you said
you leaking some things
All this after a week in the (E minor) bang
I'm mad at (F major) my self 'cause I didn't
spot the weak and lame
I would of bet the house
you wouldn't speak a (E minor) thing
(A minor) Nig ga this was the oath,
to the top of broke
Even pricked our finger,
any (E minor) thing that got between us
(F major) We 'sposed to cock the ninas,
what happened to that?
Instead you copped out to
(E minor) a misdemeanor
Fuck (A minor) it, the same thing make
you laugh make you cry
That's right, the same game that make
(E minor) you mad could make you die
(F major) It's a dice game,
and sometimes you crap
Who would of thought you'd get
popped one (E minor) time and rat?
Now you (A minor) know that's bad
when your sister is mad
And your son gotta grow up like,
(E minor) "This is my dad?"
The la (F major) beling of a snitch
is a lifetime scar
You'll always be in jail nigga,
just minus the (E minor) bars
Verse 9
It (A minor) was cool when you had
hella weed to smoke
And you bought a new home
where you could (E minor) keep the folks
I (F major) don't see how this side of you could
be provoked
(Uh- huh, uh- huh, it was all (E minor) good
just a week (A minor) ago)
Verse 10
Funny what, seven days can change (A minor)
A stand up nigga,

you dropping names
Uh- huh, uh- huh (It was all good
just a week (E minor) (A minor) ago)
Verse 11
Shit is crazy man
All these (E minor) nig gas out here
(F major) snitching
We was one step away from
taking this crack (E minor) money (A minor)
And recycling it through the ghettos
And building back up our own (E minor) hoods
Now all you (F major) niggas start
snitching on each other
I got partners doing (E minor) (A minor) 15- 20
Wouldn't to been doing SHIT
If you didn't snitch
Bitch! (E minor) (F major)
It's about time y'all check
that shit out man
(E minor) It ain't all good (A minor)
Shut your mouth
(E minor) Just watch the game (F major)
And don't snitch (E minor)
(A minor) It sure will do a lot for (E minor) you
Believe that (F major) baby
Jay- z, Short Dawg's in the house main
You know I got (E minor) (A minor) it
Got it goin on
We got (E minor) the money (F major)
Ain't got nuthin' to
do with crime baby (E minor)
But I'm re (A minor) cognizing
