Snoop Dogg - The Way Life Used To Be lyrics

Eyo BattleCat, It's yo Dogg
Bigg Snoopy DO double G eyka
I was thinking we need to take it back to
The way it used to be you feel me?
Yeah, c'mon, yeah drift with me
Drift with me, c'mon, drift with me y'all

Reflections of the way life used to be
It's all right

Take it back to the afros and the naturals
Cape cutter picks we slips
Into the back roads
I'm OG my nigga for real though
Straight up off that east side
Top of the hill yo
I'm looking at the overview
Thinking bout '86 damn I was overdue
Walking in the hood making mix tapes trying
To walk up out the hood
While I'm chucking at the hood
Nigga talk about the hood
That I came from it raised me real Crip crazy
What up, oops a daisy demon or a heathen
Scheming while I'm dreaming
Screaming to get even, seeing is believing
And don't you forget that
Get it to you get back hit that kick back
Three flies one a way
Reminisce about the things that my
Grandmama use to say
Stay in your own lane stay on your
Own and quit trying to be grown
Day turn to night and play turn to fight
Yeah I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
It's all right

I like them girls from Ladera Heights
Or the girls on Hills
I take a trip up the World On
Wheels and get in a fight
Make it back to my ride
Pop shots at some suckers
Disrespecting the side
My big homie my cuzzo schoolyard bozo
Slid me away just to get me away
I'm just a Long Beach nigga
Outside of my hood
I'm banging riding but doing it good
When I get locked down there
Ain't hiding and wondering
As soon as I hit the County
I'm up in 48 hundred
With the dealers the killers the realest
The best from the west and
The beast from the east
Yeah I'm acting a fool
I'm getting my degree from gladiator school
I chose this life cause I knows this life
Sell a little crack and my flows is tight
I'm clear on my choice and what's cold is
I can still hear my grandma's voice
She say day turn to night
And play turn to fight
Yeah I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
Reminisce it's all right

If you get caught then you don't
Walk cause you don't talk
And these was the rules
Squeeze on these fools
I came up in a different era homie
Where the G's is the G's and
The little wannabe's really want it
Wanna be like cause the C life
Make you wanna G like
Now who you wanna be like Snoop
That fool on the TV screen
Or the homie on the
Corner getting major cream
In the Cadillac beating like Battlecat
A nigga with money don't know how to act
Smoke til your eyes get cataracts
All money nonsense yeah none of that
Quarter sack run it back
Hold him back lock him up bag
Him up front him that
If a trick jump the track do
You want your money back
Lil bitch was a bunny rat
Watch for the funny hat
Cause it's gonna come
And my granny said it's no fun
She say day turn to night
And play turn to fight
Yeah I guess my granny was right

Reflections of the way life used to be
It's all right
