C-Mob - Back In Time lyrics

Damn, miss the old days
Back when we was young
Life seemed so simple then
Know what I'm sayin, me and my guys would be
Out there gettin into shit
Everybody was cool
Livin life like we had nothing to lose
Shit if things didn't change now
If they didn't change

Everyday it's the same things
No time to chill
I gotta go work and get on the grind
I gotta go hustle to pay the bills
And I feel, like I could lose it any day
What I would give to escape
All of this madness and just get away
Where everything was all the while good
My attitude could be care free
Just like durin my childhood
But now I'm and I gotta stay on my


Toes, I gotta stay clear of the fakers
And stay away from these chaotic ho's
So everyday now I just maintain
The strain on my brain is the
Main thang causing my pain
In the game cause ain't a thang change
And if it's changing then it's for the worst
Relationships are all get severed
And nothing gets better and we're all cursed
I don't have an optimistic mind state
Because my anger inside just keeps on
Rising just like the crime rate
We went from water guns, to packing nine's
And all we have now is memories of
How life was back in time
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
To when everything seemed easy and life
Was just a simple grind
Felt so much pain I've shed my last tears
Sometimes i sit by myself and
Reminisce over past years


Back in the day, friends were real
And everybody acted cool
We used to get in all types of shit
When we would go mobbing right after school
At the,?fool? And beat a hater to the soil
And none of my guys were snitchin
Because they were true and loyal
But nowadays friends are the first ones that
A be stabbin you in the back
As a teenager be smokin blacks
But now they grown and smokin crack
Whats the deal
I never thought I'd be seein my
Guy, broke as hell, still
Livin with his momma
But he's happy if he's high
Don't know, why, that everything is
The way it is, sometimes i wish that it
Would just go back to the way that
It was, when we were kids
But, I know that it won't
Because they've changed cause
They're unrealistic
I've dismissed these bitches who've
Twisted the game up
And I have names i could be calling out
But, you know who you are because we
Simply we have all been fallin out
Wish I could stop this shit from happenin
But I know that me
And my guys will never be how we used to be
Back then

Everything happens for a reason, I know
That god has a plan, friends
From back in the day, be passin
Away, and I don't understand
Why did my Grandpa die? God
You could've told the
Cancer to go, and why did Stephan
Have to answer the door, now tell me can I
Get an answer for those?
And what about Ghost
He used to be spittin' them bars
Tell me why did he have to get in that car?
Young kids hungry for money, and
We were ready for work
But the time some of us were in our twenties
We were dead in the dirt
And I remember back in the day when me
And T would sit on the
Porch, I'm smokin a black
And he smokin a blunt and we
Went to the store just to
Get us a torch and a
Pack of new?warts? of course
Was the source of multiple shorts
Cause wasn't no thing to be givin to
Another man who threw up his forks
Now the courts, got my guy
They don't want to let
Him up outta jail, used to
Kick it like everyday, now all I can do is
Send him mail, and it's, hell, to many
Of my loved ones passin away
I guess it will never be how it
Used to be back in the day
