The Way Life Used To Be Lyrics - Doggumentary - Snoop Dogg

Take it back to the afros and the naturals 

Cape cutter picks we slips into the back [?] 

I'm O.G. 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 

[?] 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 quick 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 [?] 

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 

Photos 

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 

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 

That fool on the TV screen 

Or the homie on the corner getting major cream 

In the Cadillac beating like Battle Cat 

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
