One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days, yeah
One of these old days, yeah
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
I remember waking up in dope spots,
Two burners on, cooking in both pots
Back then, I didn't listen
the only teachers I believed in
were drug dealers that had
In every hood, people wake up to the bird
But y 'all birds got feathers,
So I count all of my blessings I ain't had,
Waking up like I done had enough
Dear Lord, I ain't never had much
It's sad, but it's the reason
why I'm addicted to a fast buck
Early in life, I used to wonder
but the numbers didn't add up
So I was left to face the world on my own
But I don't regret nothin'
cause the world made me strong
And everything is cocaine white
From the coat, to the shoes,
I'm a fool, and school was an option
So I'm choosin' this block shit,
My hustle, million losers,
And my music, you had to knock it,
I got crackin' with the same
Put a hole in his mattress with
Going to jail wasn't an accident
I would've died in an accident
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
Been thuggin' since a juvenile
Old lady caught the Johnny's,
When it was time to go and feast,
Yep, I lost a few friends,
Sit tin' in the spot, cuttin' dope,
Hittin' liquor, snatchin' purses,
Fold deep in a bucket with a .380
blue rags lookin' real shady
that we made it out the struggle
Now our money gettin' bigger on the hood,
Blow the stakes, buy the bundle
we the kings of the jungle
See the best and worst days,
you gotta strive for hope
and we only catch flights,
these old days, one of these old
Like one or two bars, girl
That's what my conscience told me
We ain't gon' have to cry no more
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh -o h
