The Notorious B.I.G. - Things Done Changed lyrics

Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
(Uh) back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side (yeah)
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side (yeah)
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?

Remember back in the days
When niggas had waves
Cazal shades and corn braids?
Pitching pennies


Honeys had the high-top jellies
Shooting skelly
Motherfuckers was all friendly
Lounging at the barbecues, drinking brews
With the neighborhood crews hanging
On the avenues turn your pages to 1993
Niggas is getting smoked, G, believe me
Talk slick, you get your neck slit quick
'Cause real street niggas ain't
Having that shit totin' TECs for rep
Smoking blunts in the project hallways
Shooting dice all day
Waitin' for niggas to step up
On some fightin' shit
We get hype and shit and start lightin' shit
So step away with your fistfight ways
Motherfucker, this ain't back in the days
But you don't hear me though

Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?

No more coco levio one, two, three
One, two, three, all it is to me is a mystery
I hear you motherfuckers talk about it
But I stay seeing bodies with
The motherfuckin' chalk around it
And I'm down with the shit, too
For the stupid motherfuckers want to
Try to use Kung-Fu
Instead of a MAC-10, he tried scrappin'
Slugs in his back and that's
What the fuck happens
When you sleep on the street
Little motherfuckers with heat wanna leave
A nigga six feet deep
And we coming to the wake
To make sure the crying and
Commotion ain't a motherfucking fake
Back in the days our parents used
To take care of us look at 'em now
They even fuckin' scared of us
Calling the city for help
Because they can't maintain
Damn, shit done changed

Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?

If I wasn't in the rap game
I'd probably have a ki
Knee deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either you're slingin' crack rock or you
Got a wicked jump shot
Shit, it's hard being young from the slums
Eatin' five cent gums
Not knowing where your meal's coming from
And now the shit's getting crazier and major
Kids younger than me
They got the Sky brand pagers
Goin' out of town, blowing up
Six months later
All the dead bodies showing up
It make me wanna grab the nine and the shotty
But I gotta go identify the body
Damn, what happened to
The summertime cookouts?
Every time I turn around
A nigga gettin' took out
Shit, my mama got cancer in her breast
Don't ask me why I'm motherfucking stressed
Things done changed

Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?

Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
Back in the day
Things done changed on this side
Remember they used to thump
But now they blast, right?
